Dr. Kim and his staff were all excellent. I would suggest giving the patients an aftercare sheet to prepare them with what to do and what to expect. He has amazing bedside manner!

I first meet Dr. Kim through referral from PPO for Surgery. If you looking for a caring, honest Physician who listens to the patient's, then Doctor Dong Kim is the surgeon Physician you should contact. Excellent and Professional. Rate of 5 stars is not enough.

Dr. Kim was very pleasant during the initial visit consultation. I had surgery immediately. Surgery went ever well. Recovering at home. Service is excellent. Thanks to Dr. Kim, his staff and surgery/recovery room staff at St. Mary's.

Our experience with Dr. Kim was absolutely dreadful. He was uncompassionate, not receptive to questions, and did not seem to care about the quality of his work. My mother had to have a port insterted into her chest for chemotherapy and the port was extremely unstable and kept flipping over. During the several trips back to Dr. Kim, he didn't seem to care at all and continuously spread the blame to everyone but himself. I would never wish for Dr. Kim to operate on anyone I even remotely cared about.
