My surgery was complex but I was only in the hospital a few days. I feel this was due to the skill of Dr Kim and his team.

Professional and as far as I could tell, very knowledgeable. He answered almost all my questions as he explained procedure, etc. without my having to ask. I am an "appointment book" (as in paper not Ipad) person, and he uses one, as well. I liked that. I will reserve total appraisal until after my surgery, but until that time...
