My experience with him was great. He was patient, kind and caring. We did not wind up doing surgery to repair my partially torn rotator cuff -- because he prescribed a course of physical therapy that provided sufficient strength and mobility to render surgery unnecessary. He warned that this approach might not work, or might not provide lasting relief, but was worth a shot I went from being unable to put on a suit jacket without significant pain to becoming completely non-symptomatic. I was in my early 70s when I saw him. I'... read more

Doctor was condescending, dismissive and rude. He spoke down to me and simply walked out of the room when the appointment was finished. Did not say goodbye or anything else. Perhaps my situation wasn't interesting enough for him or he is not happy in his work - would not recommend and am angry about how he treated me

He didn't care. Useless and totally incorrect diagnosis.

Absolutely sarcastic and as as arm & shoulder Surgeon he told me he couldn’t help me or guarantee relief with shoulder surgery. When I asked how that was possible, he said “Maybe he was stupid,”something I’d never say or imply to a Dr. if you’re looking for a respectful & nice shoulder surgeon at NYU, try Dr. Rokito, or look up the 10 Best Surgeons in NYC, which list Dr. Kwon clearly is not on.

Had Rotator cuff and bicep surgery done at NYU by Dr Kwon. The whole process from 1st consultation to surgery follow ups could not have went any smoother for me. Many friends warned about the pain and discomfort I would encounter. Dr Kwon patiently went over everything each encounter. Especially the day of surgery. Following his advice, I found the post surgery period to be a lot less pain full and am healing quicker then expected. I would highly recommend Dr Kwon and his asst Jacob to everyone.

I was referred to Langone for a broken clavicle, and while Dr. Kwon was not who I was originally referred to, I was very happy that he was my doctor. He walked me through the decision process for ORIF (screw and plate surgery) or not, and provided me with a clear understanding of the benefits of the different approaches so that I could make an informed decision. I opted for surgery, which went smoothly, and I am now nearly fully recovered. For what it's worth, two physical therapists commented that I have a good scar. Dr. Kw... read more
