Before I met Dr. Karen Leong, I met with another doctor for my consultation. I was very nervous about getting surgery but Dr. Leong's calm, reassuring approach made all the difference! She was very thorough, answered all of my questions and even met with me several times before surgery just so I could feel comfortable about moving forward. I couldn't be happier with my results! Dr. Leong transformed not just my appearance, but also my confidence. She listened to exactly what I wanted and made sure I had realistic expectations. The results are natural and beautifully enhance my features-exactly what I was hoping for. I am so grateful for her talent and care! I have receive many compliments about my new look. I highly recommend her to anyone considering plastic surgery.

Id like to share how wonderful and Painless, YES painless my Vaginoplasty and Labiaplasty was. Dr Leong and her staff was wonderful from beginning to end. My consult was very informative. My procedure was done in the office while I was awake and playing a game on my phone to pass the time. :) I experienced minor discomfort that night but only needed Tylenol to help. I was told the next few days would be the worse But no pain at all, I did not require pain meds either only Ice packs. Sitting for a couple weeks needed some attention but overall I was impressed with Dr Leongs Knowledge and beside manor. I am so happy with my results. Thank you so much for bringing my confidence back.

Okay, guys, I'm not gonna lie, walking into a plastic surgery clinic in Newport Beach was a little intimidating for this guy! 😅 But the moment I stepped into Dr. Leong's office, all that "melted" away.

Dr. Leong and her team are AMAZING! Seriously, the nicest, most welcoming people ever. Heather, the patient coordinator, was fantastic – kept me informed every step of the way. And the rest of the staff? Top-notch! 👍

Dr. Leong herself? A master at her craft! She's meticulous, takes her time to explain everything, and genuinely cares about her patients. No pushy sales tactics here, just honest advice and incredible skill. I had two procedures done, and the results are fantastic! 🤩

If you're looking for a plastic surgeon, look no further. Dr. Leong and her team are the BEST! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Dr. Leong and her staff were so great to work with. They took the time to guide me through the entire process of my procedure and I never felt rushed asking questions.
I highly recommend Dr. Leong. I find her highly skilled and trained at what she does.

Dr.Leong is a wonderful, kind and talented physician. I would recommend her to anyone needing her services and will return to her should I need her surgical assistance.
Her office assistants were both efficient, always personable and friendly.
However the entire front desk staff is rated borderline rude. No smiles or greeting, with only perfunctory responses (even when taking your money). They treated everyone this way during my time in reception so it wasn’t personal. Smiling must cause wrinkles. 😉
Dr.Leong and her skills are highly rated, not the staff, you will still be satisfied.

The best way I can describe Dr. Leong and her amazing team is exceptional!

During the first consultation with Dr. Leong, she took her time to address all my questions and concerns. Dr. Leong listened with a very thoughtful ear. She was kind, patient, and understanding. Dr. Leong provided me with a realistic perspective of the results, and a total cost for the procedure. No guessing, or hidden fees.

On the day of surgery, I do have to say I was a bit nervous - but that was short-lived. Dr. Leong grabbed my hand and reassured me everything was going to be fine. My nerves were quickly eased. A few hours after the surgery was completed, Dr. Leong called to check in on me, to see how I was feeling, and if I needed anything, she was right there. I can't tell you how comforting this was.

Fast forward to my one-month post-opt appointment with Dr. Leong. When she walked into the exam room I just wanted to give her the biggest hug! She has no idea what she has done for me. Truly has changed my life. Dr. Leong's magical hands gave me the confidence I had been seeking, for so many years.

For anyone who is reading this review, Dr. Leong is simply amazing. I hope I have given you a little insight into this exceptional surgeon. I am extremely pleased with my results. I know you will be too.

I wanted to thank Dr. Leong's incredible staff. They are all wonderful. A special thank you to Heather, I am most grateful for all your assistance.

I am beyond happy with my results from Dr. Leong. I have never felt so confident! Dr. Leong and her clinical coordinator Heather made the whole process seamless and I wish I would have done it sooner. After my experience with Dr. Leong there is no other plastic surgeon I would rather go to

I cannot express enough how grateful I am that I found Dr. Leong. From the moment I walked into her office, she and her staff made me feel incredibly comfortable. Dr. Leong has both warmth and professionalism and has an excellent bedside manner which instantly put me at ease. During every step of the surgery, she consistently reassured me and reminded me to breathe. It was clear from the beginning that she was the surgeon I wanted for my procedure. I am very pleased with my results, and after struggling with insecurities for many years, Dr. Leong has helped me regain confidence. I continue to entrust her with additional procedures and wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking a skilled and compassionate plastic surgeon.

I have had many wonderful experiences with Dr. Leong. I highly recommend her if you are seeking a plastic surgeon in Newport. She demonstrates expertise in the care she provides, compassion and she is a really fun Dr to chat with. She is precise in making sure your results are exactly what they should be - you are in good hands. Literally. Her patients coordinator Heather is so wonderful to work with. I also love that the practice is an all female staff. It is a very comfortable environment. I would recommended 5/5.

About 5 years ago I was referred to Dr. Leong after my daughter needed a plastic surgery consult for stitches to her forehead. After several laser treatments, her scar was gone. Dr. Leong's care and competence put our minds at ease and we have been a patient ever since. We have undergone other procedures with her and have complete trust and confidence in her background, expertise and skillfulness; not to mention how kind and reassuring she is. I highly recommend Dr. Leong knowing you can entrust your health with her.
