Practice Philosophy
For Dr. Rhee, plastic surgery is a field of medicine that allows him to creatively combine aesthetic sense with technical ability to achieve remarkable cosmetic results. There are few areas in medicine that allow for such immediate positive feedback as a reward for meticulous technique and attention to detail.
His practice philosophy is to provide the utmost in patient care and in exceptional outcomes–whether his patient’s desire is to improve upon his or her appearance or to have a medical condition addressed. What sets Dr. Rhee apart is the high standard that he sets for himself and his staff in providing that truly exceptional patient experience.
