Dr. Edward David Kim, MD

Kim took out my kidney Stone. What's operation? After the surgery in recovery, I was there by myself waiting for my doctor to come in and tell me if it was a success or not. He never came in. He never called. He never sent somebody . The next morning at 7:30 in the morning, he decided to send An intern to come in and talk to me. I asked him why nobody came in after the surgery to tell me what happened. He could not explain the surgery was a success. But I really don't care for this doctor he's very arrogant. In the follow-up Anna's office He wouldn't talk to me only a Sun. Turn what talk to me. I was told I was done, so I went to the desk to get a appointment. His Intern said, go back in the room. He wants to talk to you. I sat in the room for 10 minutes. The intern comes back and says Never mind He's not coming in. Don't you love it? I don't you can make your own decision. I'm not going back.

Dr Edward Kim genuinely cares for his patients best interests. He is very professional, knowledgeable and experienced. If you want a Doctor that will give you your best options and expertise call Dr Kim. His assistant Fredda is also very caring and well trained. I trust Dr Kim with my life literally.

I actually regret that I had to deal with him. This guy won't even care to listen to your concerns. Be mindful and try looking for other doctors. He's a bad fit for this job.

He won't even care to listen to your concerns. Be mindful and try looking for other doctors. I feel bad for those patients who trust their lives in the hands of such a terrible doctor! I actually regret that I had to deal with him.

Avoid this practice. The disrespect and unprofessional conduct is systemic from Dr. Kim through NP Amber Wieniewitz down to nurse Andrea Lawhon. Try Tennessee Urology where you will be treated with respect and compassion.

Dr Kim tried to keep me out of the hospital with a persistent UTI. I certainly appreciate his determination and knowledge. I would recommend him as a very dedicated physician...I’m very thankful for his help and care.

Had my new patient visit with Dr. Kim today. He had a resident with him during the initial part of the exam. However, he sat and explained his thoughts on my issues and offered a couple of different treatment plan options. After the resident left the room, he continued the conversation and spent plenty of time with me. When I left I knew his thoughts on my current issues, treatment steps that I can try and also next steps if I’m unhappy with the success of those trials. Highly recommend Dr. Kim to anyone needing a urologist.

Rudest staff I have ever encountered! Questions about upcoming procedures were not answered during my initial visit and upon returning 5 days later with medical records that he requested and I was treated with disrespect and rudeness by his lead nurse, Andrea. Apparently this ill treatment of patients is common practice since I have requested a resolution by apology and to this date I have been treated with contempt. My medical concerns have been compounded by the impersonal and careless behavior I encountered. Very hurtful experience!

Dr. Kim and is his PA are awesome they both seem concern about my condition and offered solutions that were well thought out and that i thought would work.

This one star review is the reflective of Dr. Kim and not the entire University Urology Team as everyone, but him is pleasant. On my first visit with Dr. Kim he struck my wife and I as rude, however our research told us he was the best in the southeast United States for varicocele repair. After the first visit the procedure was scheduled and completed, he stated there would be mild/moderate pain/discomfort for approximately a week, but recovery was quick. This description of the procedure by Dr. Kim matched exactly to the procedure summaries available online. Fast forward 4 days after the surgery, and I was starting to experience the mild/moderate pain in the groin area, this was expected and controlled with medication. On night number 6 I was in extricating pain and was unable to sleep. So thinking something must be wrong I phoned the office to be seen the same day. The staff was able to fit me, Dr. Kim’s resident completed an ultrasound with Dr. Kim observing, Dr. Kim says… everything is perfect there isn’t anything wrong with you. I never have varicocele patients return to the office with pain. I explained to him the pain gradually increased starting day 4 post op, and his response was I’m now having to repeat myself, you’re fine. There was more context to the exchange than that however, I’ll be consulting another urologist, something isn’t right or I still wouldn’t be in pain. Trying to go about your day as was if you were just kicked in the groin isn’t pleasant. My wife and I are just trying to have another child and in the process I get talked to as if I’m uneducated and lying. I am so disgusted at how I was talked to and denigrated. Dr. Kim may be a very skilled surgeon, but a little bedside manner goes a long way. Treat others as you want to be treated.
