"No condolences. No heart": Dr. Zach slammed over insensitive statement in wake of Jacky Oh's tragic mommy makeover death

Plastic surgeon Dr. Zach, also known as Dr. Zachary Okhah, was the target of netizens on social media after the death of Jacky Oh earlier this month. Okhah has recently spoken out against the criticism, but he did not mention the name of Oh in his statement.

Okhah was reportedly the surgeon who performed surgery on Oh, leading to her death. He shared a statement through Instagram on June 16, 2023, saying that PH-1 Miami has always emphasized offering the best medical care. He said that the procedures are always safe, and they maintain hygiene as much as possible.

"I am relentlessly committed to advancing techniques in the realm of plastic surgery. Most importantly, my staff and I ensure that each patient is vetted, prepped, and treated according to their individual patient history prior to any surgery," the statement continued.

The statement ended by mentioning that PH-1 Miami aims to offer help to patients and get results in a safe and medically appropriate manner. Meanwhile, the public reacted to the statement, criticizing Zach for not apologizing and offering condolences.

Dr. Zach is a board-certified plastic surgeon and has reportedly sued his patients in the past

Dr. Zach is a board-certified plastic surgeon who emphasizes surgical facial rejuvenation techniques, followed by breast and body contouring procedures. Despite being board certified, his patients reportedly had problems with his botched procedures.

According to his Instagram bio, he established the plastic surgery clinic PH-1 Miami. According to the clinic's website, Okhah has developed a body contouring process that can lead to a lot of natural aesthetic outcomes.

However, his patients were reportedly sued when they claimed a few things about him online. His first lawsuit was against Leila Penn in July 2021, who mentioned in a RealSelf review that she was mutilated after a procedure at Zach's clinic.

The court documents stated that Penn's statements were claimed to be wrong and defamatory by Dr. Zach. He added that Penn advised his clients not to get any procedures done at his clinic. However, the lawsuit was dismissed in December 2021.

Dr. Zach also sued another patient, Kyla Neirenburg, in September 2021 after Kyla stated that Zach did not have happy patients. Kyla claimed that the positive reviews about Zach were written on the website by those who were close to him. This lawsuit was also dismissed in December of the same year.
