Dr. Kwan always delivers tasteful plastic surgery with barely visible scars. As a plastic surgeon myself, I would not go to anyone else in NYC. The office is modern and the staff very accommodating and friendly.

I’ve known Dr. Kwan and his work for about 10 years now I’ve had multiple procedures with Dr. Kwan and each time I’m impressed by his ability to reproduce the patient’s treatment goals and aesthetic outcome with highly meticulous and advanced surgical skills, dedicated time(dat beyond what most top rated NYC surgeons with similar training) would take , and compassionate and empathetic bedside manor. Being a hosts a the primary concern one has is safety and post operative healing; prevention of post op complications; in all six surgeries I have had with Dr Kwan never has there been one complication. His dedicated anesthesiologist is highly skilled and I have never had any side effect of the anesthesia. Dr Kwan takes his time to perfect what natural ethnic beauty you were born with and the outcome is exceptional. If given the choice between an artistic master who is also a Ivy League trained surgeon with 20 plus years of experience and one who does not meet all three criteria I would choose the former for the most optimal outcome !

I have known and trusted Dr. Kwan professionally for
many years, and now recently as a patient. We chose him to remove a
complicated growth on a very delicate area of my daughter’s eyelid, and
his work was impeccable. Dr. Kwan was thorough in his explanations, recovery
was prompt, and the outcome was excellent. His offices and operating room
are pristine, and the staff at both Manhattan and NJ offices are
professional and kind. His anesthesiologist put my daughter at ease and
assured that she never felt pain.
Dr. Kwan treats each individual with thoughtfulness, honesty, and precision.
His extensive operative experience and credentials should give anyone full
confidence that he will provide a beautiful outcome. I have personally seen
other examples of his work, and all have been delighted with their results.
I fully entrust Dr. Kwan with any plastic surgery needs and continue to
recommend him highly to my family, friends, and patients. He is a gifted
surgeon and a wonderful person. We are so grateful!

I am so thankful that after seeing two other physicians, I chose Dr. Kwan to excise my basal cell carcinoma from my nose. I can’t say enough good things about his office, attentive staff, caring bedside manner, directness, his honesty and most important the precision that he used to excise the cancer and made my nose look beautiful again. And I just can’t thank him enough for all that he has done. Thank you.

I am an Attending Physician and Assistant Professor of Clinical Rehabilitation Medicine at Weill Cornell Medical College.
I am honored to write a professional endorsement of Dr. Edmund Kwan (whom I have known since his surgery training days at St. Vincent’s Hospital and Medical Center).
In my opinion, Dr. Kwan is the ultimate doctor’s doctor. He is (and has always been) compassionate, smart, skilled and a wonderful altruistic human being. I know firsthand his fine skills, his attention to detail, his aesthetic/artistic sensibility and his utmost professionalism. He was known to the ER staff at St. Vincent’s as someone who always came when called, even if he had left the hospital. He was always available and unselfishly gave time, expertise (gratis) to the indigent, poor and uninsured.
I have referred patients as well as my friends. All have been delighted with their results!
Dr. Kwan participates in medical missions to third world countries yearly, also donating his time, skills and money. My respect and admiration are endless.

Wonderful experience with Dr. Edmund Kwan for the recurrent basal cell after a moh’s elsewhere. An excellent surgeon with great hands. I have had several basal cells removed in his office surgical suite over several years with fantastic results. The staff is wonderful. I highly
recommend Dr. Kwan for plastic surgery procedures. As a surgeon myself, I
did my research before going to him. The results and experience were as good
as his excellent reputation. Five stars.

Dr Kwan is simply the best! My father was in in the eye with a golf ball at 87 years old. He had extensive bone fractures surrounding the eye. Other doctors failed to tell us the extent of the damage , or declined to operate. Dr Kwan took care of my dad without hesitation and Dad is doing great. Dr Kwan had my highest recommendation possible and please don’t hesitate to refer and facial trauma cases to him !!!
