Director Kim Dong-chul Profile

Education & Career

Representative Director Kim Dong-chul is a key medical staff member of Angel Me Clinic and has previously served as the Representative Director of 'Milano Clinic'.

Currently, he leads treatments at Angel Me Clinic together with Representative Director Baek Seung-man, primarily focusing on non-surgical cosmetic procedures such as fillers, lifting, and Botox.

Academic Activities & Expertise

Director Kim Dong-chul has accumulated extensive clinical experience as a regular member of various aesthetic medicine-related societies. His major affiliated societies according to the disclosed profile are as follows:

  • Regular Member, Korean Society of Cosmetic Surgery and Laser
  • Regular Member, Korean Society of Laser, Dermatology and Trichology
  • Regular Member, Korean Academy of Cosmetic Surgery
  • Regular Member, Korean Society of Skin, Obesity, and Plastic Surgery
  • Regular Member, Korean Academy of Clinical Aesthetic Medicine
  • Regular Member, Korean Academy of Obesity & Aesthetic Body Contouring

Analysis: In Director Kim Dong-chul's profile, rather than an explicit indication of 'Board Certified Plastic Surgeon', activities in societies related to beauty and lasers are predominant. Considering the Korean medical system where the name 'OOO Clinic' is used instead of 'OOO Plastic Surgery Clinic', the fact that he emphasizes being a regular member of various beauty societies (mostly societies that general practitioners or specialists from other departments join for aesthetic procedures), and the tendency for specialist information to not be specified concretely or to be classified under the general practitioner category on some medical information platforms, it is highly likely that he is a General Practitioner performing aesthetic treatments professionally or a doctor in the field of aesthetic pain medicine. However, his history of being selected as a Key Doctor (Key Doctor/KOL) for Humedix's 'Cell Exosome' suggests high proficiency in procedures in that field and clinical abilities recognized by the pharmaceutical company.

Hospital Information

Overview and Location

Angel Me Clinic is located on the 3rd floor of Gujeong Building, 868 Nonhyeon-ro, Gangnam-gu, Seoul (near Apgujeong Station). This area is the center of plastic surgery and aesthetic medicine in Korea, and Angel Me Clinic operates in this competitive market claiming to be a 'Total Beauty Medical Clinic'.

The hospital increases accessibility by conducting evening treatments on weekdays and weekend treatments, and it is identified that the influx of overseas customers (China, Japan, Southeast Asia, etc.) is active as it is registered as a medical institution attracting foreign patients.

Treatment System & Operational Philosophy

Angel Me Clinic provides comprehensive beauty services encompassing dermatology treatment, petit plastic surgery, obesity management, hair loss treatment, and semi-permanent makeup.

  • Cooperative System: Emphasizes a cooperative system between medical staff and 'Beauty Liners (Semi-permanent Makeup Experts)'. This is analyzed as a strategy to enhance design perfection while securing the safety of semi-permanent makeup, which is classified as a medical act under medical law.
  • Equipment and Facilities: Possesses original lifting equipment such as Ulthera, InMode, and Shurink, as well as skin care equipment like LDM-MED, and asserts the principle of using genuine products and correct quantities.

Major Procedures

Angel Me Clinic's treatments can be broadly divided into the Petit/Lifting Center and the Semi-permanent Center.

Lifting & Anti-aging

One of Director Kim Dong-chul's main fields, utilizing various laser and ultrasound equipment.

  • Ulthera: A lifting procedure targeting the SMAS layer (fascia layer) using High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU). Angel Me Clinic emphasizes the use of genuine tips and pain relief through sleep anesthesia.
  • InMode: A complex lifting procedure using Radio Frequency (RF) energy that simultaneously performs unnecessary fat cell apoptosis (FX mode) and collagen regeneration (Forma mode).
  • Thread Lifting: A procedure that physically pulls the skin by inserting melting threads (PDO, etc.), emphasizing 1:1 design tailored to individual face shapes.

Petit Surgery

Procedures correcting facial contours such as lip fillers and forehead fillers are actively performed.

  • Fillers and Botox: Equipped with domestic (Neuramis, Chaeum) and imported (Restylane) products; procedures correcting facial contours such as lip fillers and forehead fillers are actively performed. In particular, there are numerous reviews on detailed correction procedures such as lip fillers and mouth corner Botox.

Semi-permanent Makeup

Angel Me Clinic's most differentiated area. Emphasizes safety as an in-hospital procedure, not a simple beauty salon procedure.

  • Cooperative System: A system where medical staff supervise anesthesia and hygiene management, while skilled Beauty Liners perform the design and procedure.
  • Safety: Aims to minimize infections and side effects (allergies, discoloration, etc.) through principles of using natural pigments certified by the Ministry of Environment and disposable needles.
  • Major Areas: Includes eyebrows (embo, combo), eyeliner, lips, hairline correction, etc.

Reputation Analysis

Patient and Customer Reviews (External Reputation)

The clinic demonstrates strong appeal to external customers through high satisfaction ratings and competitive pricing.

  • Positive Evaluation: On the aesthetic medical information app 'Gangnam Unni', Angel Me Clinic records over 9,100 cumulative reviews and a rating of 9.0/10. Reviews for Representative Director Kim Dong-chul personally also number over 900, with satisfaction regarding the meticulousness of the procedure and results being relatively high. In particular, for semi-permanent makeup, evaluations such as "natural" and "less pain" are dominant.
  • Price Competitiveness: Received evaluations for good accessibility by lowering price barriers through various events (trial prices, package discounts).

Internal Employee Evaluation (Internal Reputation)

Despite its external success, Angel Me Clinic faces challenges concerning internal employee satisfaction.

  • Negative Evaluation: The rating on the corporate review platform 'JobPlanet' is very low at 1.7/5.0 points.
  • Major Complaints: The keyword "Factory-type hospital" appears repeatedly. This implies an environment where the number of patients is very high, work intensity is extremely high, and employees must work without rest. Reviews such as "extremely busy and chaotic" and "lack of system" are factors that can lead to high employee turnover rates and concerns about the qualitative decline of patient response services.

Comprehensive Reputation Analysis: Angel Me Clinic shows the characteristics of a typical **'High-volume Clinic'**. From a customer's perspective, there is the advantage of receiving standardized procedures at reasonable prices and guaranteed proficiency due to many procedure cases, but disadvantages such as long waiting times or lack of in-depth consultation with medical staff (factory-type system) coexist. Director Kim Dong-chul is positioned as a 'skilled practitioner' who has accumulated abundant clinical experience by handling numerous procedures within this system.

Hospital Characteristics

The discrepancy between high customer satisfaction (app reviews) and low employee satisfaction (corporate reviews) is a characteristic of typical high-intensity, high-volume hospitals. Therefore, it can be a suitable choice for patients who wish to use verified equipment and the skills of skilled medical staff at reasonable costs rather than delicate and long consultations.
