    I'm positive I can direct this review in many different angles however the truth of the matter is,…read moreI came to Asia Pacific to correct a cosmetic issue that was haunting me for decades. The process from the first time I reached out all the way through the follow up visits, the service they provided me is undoubtedly the best thing ive done for myself in a long time. What they do is provide people like yourself an avenue to rid yourself of any unwanted cosmetic issues that may be leaving you depressed and unhappy. I highly recommend you utilize the expertise that the ENTIRE staff provides.

    SURGERY PATIENTS BEWARE…read more I deeply regret selecting Dr. Shim Ching. My experience with him and Asia Pacific was a nightmare, and a significant portion of my result is so unacceptable that I require a costly and risky revision surgery. I feel botched and mutilated. I avoid mirrors and public settings because of the effect this has on my appearance. I am deeply ashamed that I trusted this person and allowed them to do this to my body. On the day of surgery, the anesthesiologist was unaware of important medical history that I had provided to Dr. Ching's staff weeks earlier. Asia Pacific had expressly assured me that my medical history and concerns were being taken seriously. Yet, as I sat prepped and awaiting surgery, it became abundantly clear that this information had not been shared with the anesthesiologist. I then waited in the intake room for more than two hours while the anesthesiologist requested the information I had provided and reviewed it to assess surgical risk. Despite the practice's error, I had no financially viable option to cancel on the spot. Withdrawing that morning would have meant forfeiting over $40,000. I was therefore placed in the untenable position of either proceeding with surgery despite serious concerns about the handling of my medical records or losing the entire amount I had paid because of an error that was not mine. No respectable medical practice would place a patient in that position. This failure, compounded by serious deficiencies in postoperative care and communication, destroyed my trust in both Dr. Ching and his staff. Their conduct changed markedly after the practice collected my full surgical fees -- they repeatedly revealed serious deficiencies in professionalism, communication, and basic administrative competence. I recently requested a partial refund to help defray the cost of revision surgery with a different surgeon. Asia Pacific denied that request outright, without dialogue with me or any form of good-faith effort to address why I don't feel safe with Dr. Ching. Offering to revise his own work is not a reasonable solution when repeated lapses in professionalism, communication, and patient care have left me with no confidence in his judgment or ability. I strongly urge prospective patients to conduct thorough due diligence before entrusting Dr. Ching with their body, safety, and money. Do not assume that "over a million followers" is actually real, or that an expensive office is evidence of surgical competence, patient safety, or accountability.

After doing a lot of research, I finally decided to invest in UltraClear laser treatment, and I'm so glad I chose this clinic. A huge thank you to PA Israel Rodriguez for making the entire experience so much better. He made me feel comfortable throughout the procedure, constantly checked in on me, and made sure I was okay every step of the way. He's incredibly kind, easy to talk to, and has such a fun personality, which really helped ease my nerves. As for the results, I'm honestly so happy. My skin isn't perfect yet, but the improvement is already noticeable, and I'm loving the progress. Seeing my acne scars soften has given me so much more confidence. It was absolutely worth the time, the money, and the recovery. If you're struggling with acne scars and have been thinking about getting UltraClear laser treatment, I highly recommend this clinic. Thank you again, especially to Israel, for such a wonderful experience!

I do it for self-confidence 'cause when I look good, I feel good. It actually improved my physical health too. I'm an outdoor person. My face been in the sun & wind & I haven't seen him in awhile for micro dermabrasion but I have to start seeing him for maintenance & I can't wait to have breast reduction! I really love his skincare line too. It doesn't clogged my pores & it's not oily. Makes a big difference on my rough & tough skin! His acne spot treatment I love too. I love his work & so does all my friends who went to see him.

I was really skeptical about it at first only because I haven't seen much reviews on him, but I'm really glad I chose him and his staff. Let me just add that my appointment is not until mid-May so this review is pretty much just about my consultation. I walked in and I was seriously expecting snobby staff (I guess because the first office I consulted with was just snobby).....but I was totally wrong. I forgot one of the front office staffs name, but when she checked me in she was quick and gave me all the forms I needed to fill out. Then along came office manager Jen, who calls me in after 5 minutes of waiting in their lobby. She also acknowledged my husband to tag along in the consultation room and watch the introductory video they had me watch that way he knows what to expect. She transferred us to another room where we met with Dr. Dieffenbach. He was very soft spoken and answered my questions and concerns that I had. He didn't leave my husband left out of the conversation either. He asked if there was any concerns my husband had and even though he said no, he still went over certain things with him. Not like some doctors who are just okay with no questions asked. Jen and Dr. B weren't pushy so that was a plus and they both even said not to settle. They told me to not rush into making a decision and to call them when I was ready.... I'll keep yall posted post-op!

    I've been a patient of Dr. Schlesinger for a few years (lipo, rhino, injectibles, and other…read moreprocedures) and always felt completely taken care of. He's talented, professional, and genuinely cares about his patients. What really stands out to me is his passion for always pushing forward. His office is now pioneering a new technique for treating capsular contracture, and I think that's incredible. Dr. S is not one to sit still, he is always innovating and pushing his industry forward. It's exciting to see his dedication to innovation and how much he cares about helping women feel their best. Years later, I can still call on him for advise or with questions. His generosity with his time is unmatched (and having met with many docs on island, I know.) It's rare to find a surgeon who has both the skill and the heart. I trust him fully and couldn't recommend him more highly.

    Doctor Schlesinger is a fantastic surgeon/doctor. He is well-versed and comes from a long medical…read morebackground. Sure, sometimes he comes across as a bit zingy, but its because he is excited to help people feel more confident in their own skin. Without going into too much detail regarding why I visited this office, I want to give a thorough review for those of you wondering if you should pull the trigger on getting a service done. First and foremost, his staff is amazing. They are friendly, knowledgeable and committed to giving you a pleasant experience. They are also easy to reach, are fast to respond, and always willing to help. Location cant be beaten. Located in Hale Pawaa, this office is on the 5th floor, in a corner unit. Easy to find and has great views. Parking is validated. Offering a wide array of services, PRP Hawaii and Dr. Schlesinger are committed to helping people reach their body goals. I can say from experience that I was always against modifying my body in any way to achieve a desirable appearance. However, after feeling less than confident about myself and getting older, I sought some advice - which turned into a referral - which turned into a service - which ultimately turned into me being a much happier person. Depending on your service and what is expected, results vary. Obviously. They are in the business of beautification - not magic. Do your research. Shop around. But I assure you, PRP Hawaii will offer high quality services for a competitive price. If you're wondering what to do, reach out. You may as well get a consult. Tell them that this review sent you - either way, they'll treat you like family.

    When you are considering surgery it is so important to find someone who makes you feel very…read morecomfortable. I did look into two other surgeons before choosing Dr. Schlesinger, but their offices and personalities just seemed cold. His office staff members were friendly and professional and from the casual conversations between the patients it was obvious that everyone there felt at home with the staff and the doctor. From the date of my consult, Dr. Schlesinger made me feel at ease and helped me understand my options and decisions. On the day of the surgery, it was clear that surgery staff were professional and attentive and the doctor again walked me through the upcoming procedure. I don't think I have ever met such a caring physician and I have had more than one procedure because of my confidence in his skills. His aftercare is also amazing. When I went in for followups I did not see nurses, I always saw the doctor. If I had questions after hours, I did not have to call some impersonal service, he gives his patients his cell phone number and he either answers or returns calls quickly. He would rather come in on a Sunday to make sure that you are okay than have you wait until his office is "officially open" to see you. I am currently under his care, he is moving his practice into the use of PRP --which will help with post surgical scarring (apparently amongst many other things)--I look forward to seeing what innovations Dr. S. has up his sleeve.

I was impressed with him, but this guy has really said the Mark on fire. You can tell he is the leader in this marketplace right now. The ones he's doing now on the women are incredible. I think we're both settled on having him do it I trust him and I trust his office and they have a great aftercare program. I highly recommend anybody they want to have implants done. Go to see Larry.

The office is located in Downtown Honolulu near Bethel. There's street parking available near N Beretania St.The receptionist, Megan is friendly and knowledgeable about all the services rendered.

He reviewed my medical history with me and discussed all my possible options as it relates to my health. He specializes in healthy lifestyle changes, eating habits as well as nutritional supplements. He also specializes in Cosmetic Surgery and skin tightening after significant weight loss such as mine. Ill definitely be back to visit Aloha Surgery very soon!

They focused on what they thought was "beautiful" rather than what i think is beautiful. I showed dr Fowler my wish pics and he said it was mainly doable and showed me all the fat he could harvest in order to make my dreams come true (not much but i already knew that). Dr Fowler was very thorough and is board certified and also has a board certified anesthesiologist which is important. I got lost looking for the building. For some reason i was looking for 923 and they are 928 Nuuanu. Parking sucks but thats the only thing. There are only about 7 street parking stalls. Id rather pay 17 dollars for parking and see Dr Fowler again than go to other doctors. He offered me more free consultations if i felt i needed them which was very generous. I called and megan answered promtly and professionally. She helped me quickly find the office without making me feel like an idiot. I came super early in the case of me getting lost and i didnt get too lost so i was really early. Megan said shed try to fit me in early which she did and dr Fowler came in straight away. The office is super clean and fresh feeling. It feels more like home than a surgical unit. Im really excited to get my bbl and even more excited that they have a groupon special for fat transfer. Highly recommend dr Fowler and Megan.
