My father in law had surgery by Dr Kwon. Dr Kwon never contacted my mother in law after surgery. We had to keep calling the nurse to have someone from the team let us know how he was doing. The nurse said they cannot contact Dr Kwon after hours (it was 6pm) when she was at home. This is totally inappropriate- I am a surgeon myself and would never consider not letting the family know how things went. I do not know any surgeon who is not happy to answer questions from the family and surgery patients after hours.

...who is totally committed to her patients. My experience as one of Dr. Kwon’s heart patients was excellent in every way. Highly recommended.

She operated on my father. Suffice to say he should have gone to UF or Tampa General.

Dr. Kwon was one of the best plastic surgeons in New York City. When she decided to broaden her expertise to thoracic surgery, it was not a surprise that she would care about her patient's heart. She is a wonderful doctor and person.

Dr. Kwon is not only an expert in her field, she has an extraordinary dedication to care for her patients. Her diagnositc acumen and thoroughness in dealing with my husband's case amazed me. I am an Registered Nurse and I can tell you that her standard of care is well above that of most physicians. I agree with the earlier reviewer who said she should get 10 stars, not 4!
