      It has been a year since my ICL surgery and I am so incredibly thankful for Dr Yoo who performed my ICL surgery and continues to care for me at every follow-up. From the very beginning, I felt supported, reassured, and truly seen as a patient. The results have been life-changing, but just as meaningful is the kindness, patience, and genuine dedication she shows at every visit. I couldn’t feel more grateful or confident in her hands.
