    Very kind and patient with my questions, good at explaining procedures, and took my input when deciding what to do. The results themselves were also amazing.

    Knowing the discomfort I was in while Dr. Kim was performing the in-office procedure, she was extremely friendly and distracting, and completely took my mind off the discomfort. Her bedside manner is fantastic.

    Dr. Kim is one of the best surgeons I have ever had. She actually cares about you and remains involved in all of your after care. I have never felt more comfortable with a surgeon.

    I feel very blessed to have her as my surgeon, I know that I have major trauma to my face and the way she put me back together in ICU is more than impressive. I dont think I could except another doctor to finish this reconstruction, she is a great surgeon
