I have been diagnosed with spasmodic dysphonia and this doctor told me I have a male voice when my voice is fine pitch-wise. This doctor only cares about making money off of peoples suffering because they need me to come back every month which means more $$ spend on the Botox in my vocal cord, instead of giving me enough Botox to last 3-4 months like any ethical clinic would do. The charges are astronomical and he purposefully puts too little Botox to have any effect at all. I have to travel hours to come to this clinic just to get little to no effect and pay hundreds of dollars every month leaving me in tears, desperation and financial strain due to not being able to work because of my voice. I told the doctor to put more Botox into my vocal cords because last time there was no effect but he put even less than last time!!! I am beyond frustrated and now I’m stuck with a hoarse raspy voice, more wasted money, time and I cannot even get another shot until I wait another three weeks. Our voice is not a joke it is our livelihood but this doctor only seems to care about filling his pockets with $$$ and taking advantage of our chronic illness. I hope next time he will pay attention to this review or I have to find another clinic that will actually care for their patients.

Very clean, Jessie speaks great English, as does Dr Kim. Everything was explained in depth and shown so there was no mystery to the procedure.

Only 3 weeks post op, so I can't comment on the result, but great experience so far. -

I had vocal surgery done with Yeson in January of 2020 during the height of the Covid pandemic restrictions. They did a phenomenal job of guiding me through the process even with the extra Covid precautions upon entering Korea.

Jessie was very helpful throughout the process and communicated everything to me both on the phone and in person when I arrived. She’s super friendly and a great representative of Yeson.
It’s almost 3 1/2 years post op and I’m extremely happy with the results! Not speaking for about 2 months post op was difficult as well as trying my hardest not to cough or sneeze during the 1st month but I managed with the help of meds they gave me.
I get gendered female 100% of the time both over the phone and in person now! Vocal training is still somewhat needed to help adjust but they game me instruction to follow and showed me in person how to do them before I left.
I was a bit nervous at first as I couldn’t tell there was a difference right away but Dr. Kim had said it takes time as the vocal chords heal and I learn to adjust to them post surgery. He was right and as time went on my pitch, intonation, and overall voice continued to improve. The only drawback I’d say is a minimal amount of volume loss but it’s not terrible or too much at all and it’s so worth it! Once I got used to speaking with my new voice, I no longer need to put effort into it now to sound more feminine, it just works.
I would 100% recommend Yeson to anyone needing vocal surgery of any kind, but especially trans women looking to improve their voice in a permanent way. Thanks so much to Yeson, Jessie, and Dr. Kim. You’ve all changed my life for the better in immeasurable ways and I’m truly grateful to you all <3
