I cannot say enough about how pleased we are with Dr. Kim. Not only is he a skilled surgeon, he is compassionate and caring and takes the time to communicate with the patient and family. We were so grateful to have him on our team. He is an excellent surgeon and a wonderful person!

He was uninformative about the procedure. His nurse was so rude and hateful it was ridiculous!!! I suffered from complications that ended me up at my local ER. He had no knowledge of my current medications or how to treat me while I was on them. His nurse then LIED and said she spoke to my prescribing physician and I later found out that she was lying!!! I was rushed out of the recovery room because they chose to try to do my surgery last minute. I was sent home with NO pain medication and at least 4 open wounds! Worst experience of my life!!!!!

Extremely happy with Dr. Kim !!! He was so compassionate and helpful. We particularly loved the fact that he took time to sit down and review our situation with us and explained the procedures . He was patient with us when we had so many questions--When we rec'd good news-- he was as happy as we were! We highly recommend this wonderful physician !!

I couldn't have been more pleased with Dr. Kim and his entire staff! He spent a lot of time explaining my problem in detail and exactly what would happen during/after my upcoming surgery for parathyroid hyperplasia. Before talking to him, I was ready to go to Tampa, New York or Atlanta for this surgery, but went for a consult with Dr. Kim and quickly realized that he was the surgeon I wanted to handle this. He and his staff put my mind at ease--they were all extremely knowledgeable and professional, and were VERY supportive. Dr. Kim truly gave me my life back, and I would absolutely recommend him without hesitation!!
