SOUTH JORDAN HEALTH CENTERDr. Kim is very good at what she's does. My rhinoplasty has turned out great so far. I still have swelling but she answered all my questions about how to manage things post surgery. Before surgery, she was very thorough in answering all my questions and concerns and was even willing to add on a last minute additional procedure before surgery. She's warm and I feel like she's cares about her patients.

PRIMARY CHILDREN'S MEDICAL CENTERShe was fantastic. Our daughters surgery had been postponed twice before and we were beginning to feel like it would never happen. Dr. Kim not only made it happen before the end of the year, but she did a fabulous job. The incision looks great, and has been healing fabulously. And our daughter wont have to continue worrying about the growth on the back of her head continuing to get bigger.

SOUTH JORDAN HEALTH CENTERI had a very positive experience with Dr Erin Kim. The work that she did for my tummy tuck was so good for me. I had full rectus diastasis and she sewed that up and just really got a lot of extra stuff out of the way and I feel like I have my body back again. I think she did as much as she possibly could for me, with that procedure. I can run again, and just move easier. My back doesn't hurt anymore. I'm soooo grateful!
