I would Not recommend Dr. Kobayashi. Though he was nice at first, after this procedure he left horrible scars.

15 years ago I suffered from a facial injury and Dr Kobayashi both repaired my face and my outlook on my life and emotions surrounding the repair. No other doctor has shown the compassion and the true caring that he has. Now I'm returning to him again to enhance cosmetically and I know I am in good hands. Thank you for loving what you do Dr Kobayashi !

Dr. Kobayashi is an extremely talented and skilled surgeon. I had a full mastectomy with reconstruction and Dr. Kobayashi's work is beyond exceptional. My breast looks identical to my other breast. Scarring is minimal and isn't visible at all! He is caring and compassionate. I highly recommend him for any breast reconstruction surgery. THE BEST hands down!!!

He is really odd and wears way too tight scrubs. He is not reasonable and more nazilike. He thinks his way is the only way, He does big surgeries and will keep putting your procedures off for a long time. Dr Kobayashi is not someone I would recommend.

He is the kindest most carrying amazing Surgeon ever. I saw him for 10 years as I am a breast cancer survivor and he had to fix a mess that another doctor created. I trust him with my life literally........i highly recommend him.
