Dr. Daniel Kim, MD

He flat out lied and wasted our time when we came for a spinal assessment. He was more interested in what other doctors would think of him, and who he knew. He referred us to a different doctor unrelated to spinal assessments, claiming he’s good because he was president of an association. He claimed he would develop a plan forward then ghosted us. Where’s the spinal assessment? Go elsewhere. Very strange and not at all trustworthy.

Another surgeon paralyzed my leg, had my back so messed up after 4 surgeries, I was in excruciating pain. Dr. Kim saved me after 1 surgery. He got all my pain to stop, and I have good chance of getting use of my leg back. I love this doctor and he will be only person ever operating on me again.

Dr. Kim is very knowledgable and explains everything in detail in terms that a patient can understand. He is very patient listens, to my concerns, and truly cares for his patients. He took extra time to explain the surgery process with me so I could understand what he would be doing during the surgery. The day of surgery, he made me feel at ease with his confidence and concern for me. Following surgery, he visited with me and my husband. Today's follow up visit was another example of his compassion for his patients as well as the care he provides. Dr. Kim is the best spinal surgeon and I highly recommend him .

I went to Dr Kim after seeing all these highly positive reviews. I was in a lot of pain with a mri showing severe spinal stenosis. He was extremely rude making me feel as if I was exaggerating. He spent little time and offered no treatment. Saw a different spine surgeon who performed surgery which relieved my pain. Not someone I would ever trust to perform back surgery.

Dr Kim and his staff were incredible in diagnosing my need for surgery; scheduling it as quickly as possible and equipping me for recovery. All of my questions were answered in a timely and thorough manner and I am making good progress in my recovery. I am so grateful to have the opportunity to work with Dr Kim and his excellent staff.

I was very disappointed with Dr Daniel's rushed consultation. I wanted to discuss options for my lower back pain other than surgery he lost interest in me altogether. Very unhappy & would never see him again & would not recommend him unless you are a surgery patient.

I was diagnosed with lumbar stenosis with neurogenic claudication. I heard of Dr. Kim from a local physician down in Corpus Christi, Texas where I live. I brought a copy of my MRI to Houston for Dr. Kim to review. His analysis was excellent and we scheduled surgery for two weeks later. The surgery I had was L3 L4 laminectomy with fusion. The surgery went excellent. Because I live so far away, Dr. Kim scheduled my follow up visits to be conducted over zoom. I considered this to be extremely accommodating because traveling back and forth from Corpus Christi to Houston is uncomfortable, stressful, and expensive. I am so glad I found Dr Kim. I’m 68 and pain free. He literally has given me a new life. Thank you Dr Kim.

Excellent doctor and staff

I like him and trust him. He won my confidence the first time.

Everything went well and we did not have any problems.

Dr. Kim is a true professional that really cares about his patients. He performed surgery on me in 2011 and I specifically sought him out in 2024 to correct another issue that I was having with my neck. The surgery was outpatient and I experienced very little pain. Just two weeks out and I'm feeling great. Thanks to Dr. Kim and his team. I highly recommend him.

He is very excellent neurosurgeon and his hands are like an angel.

Dr. Kim and his team are amazing. Very thoughtful and they make sure to take good care of you. Cannot recommend him and his team enough!

Dr. Kim has given me life back and the recovery has been phenomenal. I will highly recommend her to anyone who needs back surgery.

Dr, Kim fixed me up really well and I do not have any complaints.

Dr. Kim is very professional and very pleased with the care.

He is very direct and to the point. He explains things pretty well.

Dr. Kim is very fast and very efficient. He listens to what you have to say.

Dr. Kim has the best bedside manner and is super sweet. He is extremely knowledgeable and makes you feel comfortable by explaining everything. When I was in the hospital he fought for my pain management that fell through by the nurses and he made sure several times to check on me and make sure I had what I needed. Definitely one of the best Drs. Ive had and I'm so please with him.

Dr. Kim is very professional , curious, and explains the procedure very well.
