Dr. Shim Ching
Verified listingAbout Dr. Shim Ching
What is Dr. Shim Ching?
Dr. Shim Ching is mainly a plastic surgery practice in Honolulu, Hawaii. It also has offices in Dubai, Kuwait, and Qatar. Its service list runs from facelifts and breast augmentation to Botox, CoolSculpting, IV therapy, and testosterone replacement therapy (TRT). Weight loss injections are one service on that list, not the center of the practice.
Dr. Shim Ching, MD, is the physician the practice names, and it describes him as board-certified in plastic surgery. The practice also uses the names Asia Pacific Aesthetics and Asia Pacific Plastic Surgery, so search for those too. On Google it is listed as a weight loss service, with a 4.9 rating from 822 reviews.
The weight loss injections use semaglutide and tirzepatide. In its own words, they are "prescribed as part of a medically supervised weight management program."
What does it cost?
The practice does not publish prices for any service, including weight loss injections, consultations, or testosterone therapy. It does not say whether the medication is included in any fee, whether a consultation costs anything, or whether it accepts insurance. It links to financing options but gives no monthly amount or rate. Membership terms and cancellation rules are not stated either.
What should you ask before you book?
Ask who writes the prescription for the weight loss injections. The practice names Dr. Shim Ching as its physician but does not say who prescribes the injections. Ask whether the price includes the medication, and whether the drug is a brand like Wegovy, Ozempic, or Mounjaro or a compounded version. The practice also mentions combining the injections with Phentermine, so ask whether that is offered and what it adds to the cost.
Ask for the consultation fee and whether the first visit can be done by telehealth, which the practice does not address. Ask what follow-up visits and lab work cost, and whether they are required. Ask how cancellation works and whether the program is billed as a membership. A 2018 blog post describes ORBERA gastric balloons, which do not appear on its service list, so ask whether they are still offered.
Who is it a good fit for?
This is a good fit if you want weight loss injections or testosterone therapy from a practice that is mainly plastic surgery, and you are ready to get the prescriber, the prices, and the cancellation terms in writing before you pay. If you need published fees or a named weight loss prescriber before you call, this listing leaves you with questions to ask first.
