My Experience with Dr. Chin & Koru Wellness Aesthetics
I have been a cosmetic patient for years now, and attended a number of different practices across New York City for different procedures over the years. I have a number of different experiences, both good and bad, but nothing has compared to working with Dr. Chin and the team at Koru Wellness Aesthetics! Honestly, this practice is a dream come true, and I love the way Dr. Chin practices – she’s one of the few aesthetic doctors I could trust implicitly and just know has my best interests at heart. In the past, other doctors and practices I had been to in the city, were really shady, a lot of them I actually found out later on were either unlicensed or lacked important safety measures and different things. Which really put me off to aesthetics overall for a few years, I have to say. Thankfully after a two year break I was recommended Dr. Chin and things have been great since then. This is my experience.
When I first heard about Koru Wellness Aesthetics, considering my most recent experiences I wasn’t very excited obviously. After my last experience with a practice in the city, I decided I would do my diligence and do as much research as possible online before booking any kind of appointment. The first thing that really stood out to me more than anything else was their reviews online! If you don’t believe me and my experience, there are hundreds of others online that have nothing but nice things to say about Koru and Dr. Chin in particular! And while I’ve definitely seen a lot of practices with tons of fake reviews in the past, every one of them describes Koru perfectly! Needless to say, after seeing this I was pretty excited and got on the phone to book an appointment immediately. I wanted to get some fillers done, as I hadn’t in over 18 months, but also was considering the VI Peel – a procedure I had always been recommended and many of the reviews online said they saw great results with. I figured I would go in and just see what they said.
From the start, I got the nothing but a professional vibe from the team! From the person who answers the phones, to the doctors, I felt nothing but warm, welcoming vibes from everyone! Which honestly was rarely the case with most New York practices. In aesthetics, a lot of the practices are known to be a bit stuck up – even when they have no reason to be. But at Koru, everyone was kind and caring, not stuck up in the least! Another thing I noticed from he start was their beautiful office and practice itself, it was very clean and spotless, something you don’t always get, even though you should. The wait was fairly standard, not too long, not too short, but I was seen pretty fairly quickly and Dr. Chin didn’t make me wait much longer at all.
Dr. Chin was a breath of fresh air, I love her style and her ability to make her patients feel comfortable. She answered all my questions, and didn’t make me feel strange for asking – this was a great sign to me, as she seemed very transparent and happy to help her patients. We started off with an analysis of my skin, and she pointed out certain volume loss issues around my cheeks and around my mouth, as well as some acne scarring issues around my upper cheek area. She seemed very conservative with the fillers, which I really liked, as a lot of doctors in the past have overdone treatments on me and led to a lot of issues with side effects. She seemed very keen on only doing the things I needed, and saying the results would speak for themselves. Her confidence really rubbed off on me, and made me feel like I was in good hands. My results turned out great and I was so happy with how well I responded to just a little bit of fillers, I was absolutely hooked! This appointment was over 6 months ago, and since I had had another fillers appointment as well as my VI Peel, and things have been nothing but smooth since! My skin is looking the best it has in years, and I doubt I would have work with anyone outside of Koru again!
