Very friendly and open with all the information you would need.

Dr Kim was with me every step of the way giving me all the information I needed before and after my Surgey, I would highly recommend him for surgery.

Dr Kim is not only a very highly skilled surgeon, but he is very patient, takes the time to listen to your concerns, and answers endless questions. It is always easy to make an appointment, and the staff is wonderful.

I found Dr. Kim after having been told my symptoms would not subside with a corporal tunnel release. From my first visit, I knew Dr. Kim was committed to helping me. Immediately, post procedure, my pain was gone. Dr Kim is not only a master of his specialty, he truly cares about the well-being of his patients. I am so grateful for the care I received. Dr. Kim changed my life for the better!

I am very pleased to leave this review as I feel Dr. Kim is an extraordinary surgeon as well as a caring individual. He has helped my mom and myself have a better quality of life with his treatments and surgeries. And on top of this, his staff especially Shy, are the best! Thank you to the whole office. We are moving out of state and Dr Kim will be truly missed, but always remembered in my heart.

I highly recommend Dr. Kim! After a door slammed on my finger a couple of years ago, I was in constant pain and went to multiple doctors, including dermatologists, who put me on antibiotics and antifungals without any real relief. I was told to soak my finger and trim my nail, but nothing worked. Some days, the pain was so bad I could barely open a door.Finally, I saw Dr. Kim in August. He did an X-ray and explained that while he wasn’t sure if scar tissue was the issue, he was ready to help. I was desperate for relief and agreed to surgery. He took the time to answer all my husband’s questions, which really put us at ease.Now, it's December, and my nail has grown back perfectly! I’m thrilled to say I’m finally pain-free. Huge thanks to Dr. Kim for his expertise and caring approach—you truly changed my life!

Office staff extremely helpful and pleasant.I was seen right on time.Dr. Kim listened to my concerns and provided me with all the answers I needed.

I had de Quervain tendinitis. Prior to seeing Dr. Kim, I tried steroid injections and physical therapy. Only temporary fixes. After a year of pain, I went to Dr. Kim and he advised surgery. At this point I was ready. He thoroughly explained the procedure and it was done in the surgical center. I was awake and didn’t feel a thing. He and the staff made the time in surgery calm and comfortable. We were all chatting. He even let me choose the music I’d like to listen to during the short procedure. My wrist is healing nicely and I am planning to have my other wrist done. I highly recommend Dr. Kim and his team.

Dr. Kim is the best. My trigger thumb surgery was successful and no where near as painful as I was expecting. The care I received from Dr. Kim was exceptional. The entire team at the surgical office displayed a high level of professionalism and made me feel comfortable throughout my visit. I highly endorse Dr. Kim and Vangaurd for their excellent service and expertise

I recently had ulnar nerve surgery from Dr Kim. As an athlete, i have had over 10 surgeries. i can tell you Dr Kim is the most impressive surgeon I ever had. He is clear in detail what he is doing, listened to me and worked with me diligently on my rehab. I couldn't possibly recommend someone enough

Unlike other waiting rooms for doctor visits the wait for my appointment was short and I was seen at the time I was originally scheduled for. Dr. Kim was very professional and direct in explaining my problem. He recommended a conservative approach to my problem which made me happy as my condition was not that bad. Over the course of the next 6 months my condition (carpel tunnel) became extremely painful. He recommended surgery which when performed went extremely well and my pain and discomfort immediately went away. Dr. Kim personally called me prior to surgery and the day after surgery to offer any assistance and reassure me that the procedure went well. I could not have been more happy that I chose Dr. Kim and satisfied with the whole experience.

Dr Kim was phenomenal. The absolute best hand surgeon around. My son broke his left pinky bone, which they call it a boxer fracture in a baseball game. So happy for the recommendation to go see Dr. Kim, my son‘s hand is as good as new. If I can give 100 stars, I would

I was able to get a quick appointment for a consultation. Dr Kim’s office was able to help set up all the pre surgical testing needed. Dr Kim was able to operate in three weeks of my original appointment. Dr Kim called me one week before the surgery to see if I had any questions or concerns. Dr Kim also called the next morning after the surgery to check up on me. He is a very caring Dr and my surgery went very well.

I was completely impressed from the moment I met Dr. Kim, for my carpal tunnel pain, in both hands. I did my left hand first, and was so totally satisfied, that I scheduled my right hand about 5 weeks later. I just could not wait... The numbness and tingling are gone, and my sleep is no longer interrupted from pain in my hands and arms. He is professional, patient and kind. He is completely knowledgeable of the hand, and the issues that may arise. The incision was so small at the base of my palm that I still find it hard to believe he was able to achieve the results that he did. I cannot recommend him enough, along with his efficient and kind staff, who made everything run smoothly. I don't know why I put it off for so long!

I've been interacting several years with Dr Kim for wrist & thumb problems on both hands. Great friendly personality, patient, and caring. But the biggest thing is his expertise and surgical ability. INCREDIBLE. I recommend him to anyone I run into.

After falling & breaking my wrist & thumb, Dr. Kim was able to do my surgery right away. He is very knowledgeable & his staff is friendly. He is the best.

I was referred to Dr. Kim to remove a growth from my 6-year-old's finger. Dr. Kim was fantastic to work with! He was kind, patient, and took care to explain everything to both my child and me. My child needed to have a procedure and, while these things can be scary, we both walked in informed and comfortable with what to expect. The procedure went smoothly (truth be told, we were so well taken care of, the 6-year-old wants to do it again), the medical team was amazing, and the care was beyond top-notch. Our follow-up was very easy and reassuring - we were clear on the next steps and all of our questions were answered. We have been so impressed with our experience with Dr. Kim - he is truly exceptional!

Following a fall on the ice, I was left with a shattered and dislocated wrist. I was blessed that a friend led me to Dr. Kim. He surgically repaired my wrist. With the talented skill of Dr. Kim, and the assistance of ten pins and a plate, I have a fully functioning wrist, with an almost unnoticeable 2.5 inch scar. A few years later, Dr. Kim successfully and compassionately assisted my mom, who had a severe case of RA, get through carpal tunnel surgery. This year, I went to Dr. Kim for carpal tunnel and trigger finger concerns. Once again, the surgery went perfectly and my recovery is going smoothly. Dr. Kim consistently expresses his talent, attention to detail, and level of care. He patiently spends time thoroughly explaining conditions and situations and answering questions-concerns. He personally reached out to me before and after my surgeries! Dr. Kim has a wonderful demeanor and is a talented surgeon. In my experience, he is a TOP doctor - surgeon. Thank You Dr. Kim!
