mrslucky Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 Yup, she is the one who reply and translators for Life. I went there for consultation as well, gave me a good price for rhinoplasty revision and aculift for chin and neck. 4.4 million kw, cheaper compare to Dream and JW. I understand that dr Kim was an ENT surgeon from government hospital before and I find him very nice and knowledgeable. Anyway when I go there for consultation, theres no other customers except me. Sue said that the doc only perform a few surgery a day so I guess he can really focused on his patients needs. But the end of the day I choose Dr Park of dream because I know he got more experience in rhinoplasty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davincci Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Something really weird. I'm reading some online consultation on LIFE's website and when I clicked into those private ones (with a lock) to open in new tab, the tab automatically renamed as Grand. So looks like LIFE is still under GRAND? I know Dr Rhee used to work for Grand but didn't know the 2 clinics are still related... Heard Grand had many botched operations.... Anyone know if they are actually still same company? subsid?http://eng.mylifeps.com/on-line-consultation/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nini93 Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Hi! I know they were under Grand and last month when I went for consultation one of the doctors warned us not to go to Life because he said that Life is still part of Grand and there's a lot of stuff going on there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davincci Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Here's LIFE's official reply to my question: "Dr. Kim was a representative doctor at Grand clinic before opening his own clinic, and now, LIFE and Grand does not have any relationship at all. " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pipet Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Tell you why, Grand and Life is basically the same clinic. The owner is the same, the translator is the same (esp for those language which is not english and chinese), and it always located in the old place of grand. The doctor was being ordered to be a rep doctor, and after some major thing happening in grand, grand ask dr rhee to come back and working two timing at grand. That's why you can find dr rhee in grand website and in life website. While Dr. Rhee is two timing, then they change the main doctor to dr kim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pipet Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Nope you're right, the two clinic is related for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qri Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 that is so sketchy... i recently finalized my in person consultation with life and i was told this regarding dr. rhee "You've mentioned that you'd like to have consultation with Dr. Rhee, however, unfortunately he is no longer at LIFE at the moment." if dr kim didn't get such positive feedback from other members in this forum i would have called it off completely.

pipet Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 yes because he moved to grand. check grand's website and you'll get dr rhee there. told you that both of the clinic are related Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qri Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 I had surgery with LIFE on the 14th, experience can be found on my blog linked in my sig. Guys I can't get over how great Dr. Kim is he's such a cool guy. I'm happy with my results so far but it's still a bit too early to tell since I'm only 12 days post-op. Really hoping there's still a lot of swelling to go down. Just a warning for anyone who tries to contact them at the moment they don't have a english consultant, for my surgery day and check ups they hired a temporary girl from another hospital.

vanilla-creme Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 I wanna tell members here about my terrible service I had in Life yesterday. Dr Kim is a good and attentive doctor. I had nothing to complain about him. Sorry for my bad English. I only wish to expose the kind of bad experience I had last night with the *****y China translator and the korean consultant. I was supposed to had my operation around slightly over 3 pm i guessed. Was being brought to the operating theater to await for preparation and surgery. Boy...the room was extremely cold and I can't help not to feel nervous. I was lying there for quite some time. And the China translator was who supposedly there to "calm" me down. She did nothing. At a part while I was kinda shivering, she even made an attempt to pull down part of my pyjamas, exposing a part of my upper body. Maybe the nurse had told her to help for sterilizing purpose, but she need NOT have to go that attend to make me feel humiliated. Excuse me, I'm not doing breast surgery. I felt so pissed off with her action. And I tried to cover up myself and said nothing. Ok... this is not the best part.... After my operation, God knows how long I've been inside there. It's seems ages. I was all giddy, groggy and weak on my legs that I can't move at all and needed them to give me a helping hand. When I was finally out, I'd the china translator and a nurse each supported me on my sides. I felt so nauseous and kept wanting to throw out. The china translator was there all the while, but she doesn't seems that "sincere" on waiting me. Her reaction tell me so. I was still feeling groppy and weak for a few hours after visiting the "3rd dimension" and back, I'd never this feeling having done surgeries for the last 3 times. Not sure if it's my body bad constitute or maybe the sleeping dosage was too much. Anyway, here comes the best part. I know it's their closing time. The korean consultant came to check if I'm well to go back on my own. They checked on me several times and I just have this strong feeling that they can't wait to chase me out of the clinic because it's their closing time!! Finally, god blessed..I was at last "feeling" a little better but still giddy, at least my legs are not as wobbly now as compared than before. They impatiently "helped" me out of the resting room, to the lift and then the lobby. Asking me to write my address on a slip so the cabby can send me back. They "quickly escort" me out to the main road for the taxi. They must have felt a big relieve!! All the while, I was still in a shape of weakness but I felt they just don't care. They only can't wait to close shop so they can go home! The "treatment" Before and After is also difference. You know what I mean..before I consult and after my surgery. I still do not have her name. She was there to help me because I speak mandarin as well. They have not get a English consultant yet. In my opinion, Dr Kim is good and attentive doctor. He gave me a good vibe. But not the *****y china translator and the damn korean translator. You can always tell after they're done with you. You're not their concern anymore. PS: The whole of last night, I was still weak back in hostel. I was all alone in a foreign land. And to get that kind of treatment was the last thing on my mind.

vanilla-creme Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Do not go to LIFE clinic! Their post op service was totally BAD, The China translator, her attitude is extremely one kind. Simply ignored all my kakao msgs. And I want to say this, she was the opposite when she was trying hard to get my business when I consult them in the first place. What a ***** she is!! And the new English translator, Chloe is equally bad. Slow response and in the last email she died off. She simply wrote "please make a trip here to consult doctor." Is she trying to close the chapter?! Their service really pissed me off. Helpless here and yet receiving treatment like that. It's really a sad case for foreigner having PS and when we're back at our country, we simply cannot do anything much if complication occurred and they just couldn't care less.
