The man is a total joke, rude and condescending. Said I wasn't a good candidate for DIEP procedure. Didn't even do an exam. I gave him 1 star because I couldn't give him zero stars and, believe me, he's no shining star. Went to 3 other plastic surgeons and they were all mystified by his refusal to do the DIEP procedure. He didn't bother to give an explanation and we didn't bother to ask. Just left. Long story short, went to OHSU and the wonderful Dr Chang and they did a fabulous job. They treated me with great respect and ki... read more

Initially, this MD was very friendly and seemed genuinely concerned about my pain and discomfort. After an MRI of my wrist, we had a phone consult and he mentioned having arthroscopy to further evaluate the damage. I asked for more conservative treatment to consider the healing time as I am a full-time student and working in patient care part-time. He never sent my PT referral and when I inquired through the Mychart system a few months later he provided an altogether different approach to my plan for healing that left me eve... read more

I had a great experience with Dr Kim. My situation was complicated I saw 3 reconstruction surgeons prior to De Kim. Every one of them gave only 1 option - Dr Kim listened carefully to my concerns - and developed three options for me. He patiently explained the pro/ cons of each procedure - and I was so thankful for his open mindedness and ability to provide a reconstruction that I was actually excited about! The final outcome was better then I could have dreamed. I am forever thankful to Dr Kim -

Dr Kim is very professional and caring, he takes the time to explain options and answer questions. I am extremely pleased with the outcome of my procedure- he has a great eye - I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for mastectomy reconstruction- or a DIEP flap surgery - He is truly very talented.

Dr. Kim is a very skilled surgeon with very little bedside manner. After my first procedure-which failed, no fault of the doctor, we scheduled my second procedure with plenty of time to order the expander needed Since I travel 7 hours to Dr Kim, I emailed and then called 2 weeks ahead of time making sure everything was in order. It was not. Apparently notes were not taken at my last appointment, nor did the doctor read the emails sent to his office - even though I had replies. DISAPPOINTING

Not a good interaction with Dr. Kim and his team They were poor about answering simple, direct questions about recovery time, safety precautions (wearing a brace), and any recovery protocol. I asked these questions at multiple stages and was given short general statements that proved to create issues with my HR department in trying to go back to work. If I ultimately need follow-up treatment or another surgery I will not return to this group.

This doc definitely did not listen to me. For example, I told him when I had previous injections; he went on to say I had my last injection in a month I never stated. Also, he said I had several issues going on with my wrist/hand, but never said how to addresss all of the issues, instead choosing to focus on just one minor part of the entire problem. He seems too concerned about maximizing the money he makes, and shows little regard/care for the paying patient. His staff is wonderful tho.
