Dr. Kwan has earned a reputation that has other *doctors* traveling across states to see him ahead of all the other choices in PA/NJ/NY, and they have good reason/insight for doing so and continuing to recommend him. He's at the top of his field in experience and ingenuity, with countless procedures of much greater complexity than a lift or eyelid surgery under his belt, techniques of his own invention, and still active in academics and research.

My experience is that he also has the additional artistic touch and deeply cares about his patients and his craft. He and his office staff will treat you like an old friend, and Dr. Kwan tailors your procedure to your individual desires, practical needs, and aesthetics. He will take his time to explain everything you want if you ask, but things can also go quick and easy because he knows what he's doing inside and out.

Trust the advice of the guy who's already seen people through thousands of outcomes with great care- you will probably have moments of concern watching the healing process (like me) but if he tells you it's turning out fine- he knows.

Dr. Ed Kwan is by far the best plastic surgeon on Fifth Avenue. His eye for perfection becomes evident when people look at the new you he has created. He has the talent of an artist, and it shows; it is what makes the difference and distinguishes him from the rest.

Dr. Kwan is a wonderful doctor. Not only is Dr. Kwan caring, dependable & proactive, he is also a few steps ahead of his industry peers when it comes to using cutting edge technology in surgical procedures.

I have asked him 5 times for my records which I am legally entitled to get. He refuses to send me my file or tell me what he added to the anesthesia that made me sick for days. I have reported him to NYS department of Health, Office of medical misconduct.
