I was referred to Dr. Kim by ER physician. Called her office 3 times a day for 8 days and got answering machine. Left messages. Nobody returned my calls. Finally got an answer and made appointment. Dr. Kim came flitting into room like she was on speed. Didn't listen to my concerns. Spent less than 3 minutes with me and billed $296. Had a biopsy done and was told 5-7 days for results. On 7th day I called her office and was told they don't give results over the phone. Drove 30 miles to office. Was told they didn't have results back. Why was I not told that before I drove 30 miles? I have never had a health care provider rush and dismiss me. I will never go back. If I ever get biopsy results back and need surgery I will find another surgeon. If I never have to deal with Dr. Kim or her office staff again it will be too soon.

Dr. Kim's skill at surgery saved the life of my elderly mother. She provided her cell phone number for the best communication I have ever had with a doctor. A very caring doctor who listens to the patient and family.

Dr. Kim has done three different and very complex surgeries on my mom. Not only is she incredibly skilled as a surgeon she also has a holistic approach to caring for the patient not only physical but mentally and emotionally as well. This extends to the patient's loved ones as well. We even followed her to Gardenerville when she left Winnemucca. Trust her 100%....

Dr Kim has brought wound care into the light for me. Her approach is very different from what I have experienced in the past and it has been extremely positive in my case. I cannot rate her on surgery. She is a caring, compassionate woman.

Made her diagnosis based on opinion, not tests. Lead to patient giving up with the worst possible results.
