What local patients say

Excerpts from public Google reviews — patient opinions, not endorsements or clinical claims.

08/29/25: I highly recommend Dr. Yoo for facial plastic surgery done safely and with the highest level of professional skill. From the initial consultation all the way through the surgical process and even at the 8-month follow-up appointment this week, Dr.

Every step of the journey with the Changes Plastic Surgery team was exceptional! From start to finish, every individual I interacted with exceeded my expectations. The front office staff, coordinators, nurses, and especially Dr. Rossi were absolutely amazing.

After researching plastic surgeons in SD and LA, I trusted Dr. David with my procedure and I'm 1000% happy with the results! Dr. David listened to my concerns and he gave his honest recommendations on what needed to be done. He is a professional who wasn't trying to upsell me.
