David Kim Bariatric Surgeon M.D.,F.A.C.S.

Thank you Dr. Kim! My surgery was June 21, 2004 and all I can do is sing praises for Dr. Kim and his entire team. The encouragement and support from the entire team has been great! The nursing assitants and staff at the hospital were wonderful and took great pride in the whole care of the patient.They were all exceptionally kind and professional during my stay. The pain involved was very minimal for me. I am 9 days out and have lost 12 pounds! I would encourage anyone that was thinking about it to go ahead full steam.

My first impression of Dr Kim was very good. I deal with many doctors everyday at work and I have dealt with the good and the ugly. Dr Kim is like a breathe of fresh air and I would put him in the upper class of doctors. His office staff so far as been very friendly and seem to be very comptent. Pam K. has been awesome and she has not rushed me anytime that I have spoke with her and that gives her a big PLUS in my book. For any future patients I would say have all your information together. The more you have it together the faster you can have an approval and the easier it is for you and Pam to get to a surgery date. Dr Kim does a very good job of going over the risks of surgery and he allows time for you to ask questions. 3/3/04 I had my consult last Friday and Dr Kim is everything I expected. He allowed me to ask questions and he made me feel very comfortable. His office staff is very nice and again Pam is great.

What a true professional Dr. Kim has been! My confidence prior to the suregery was only strengthened by his bedside manner at the hospital.

The encouragement from the entire team has been great! Pam, the Bariatric Coordinator; John, the Respitory Therapist; Cindy, our Dietician; Nurses - Hortence and Donna, and their nursing assitants, were all exceptionally kind and professional during my stay.

Dr Kim seemed was soft-spoken and friendly-he seems very knowledgable about this surgery and seems to genuinely care about his patients.

My first impression was he was very polite and very confident! I could tell he knew a lot about the surgery and left me feeling very secure in my decision! The staff is very friendly especially Pam the coordinator she was very prompt in calling me back when I called and just very easy to talk to! As far as before and after care they are excellent you are very much held responsible for your actions to walk, eat right and attend support meetings! Overall I have been extremely pleased with Dr. Kim and staff!

Dr. Kim is very nice. He has a great sense of committment to all of his patience, and demands a great deal out of his staff. They are all exceptionally trained, and They all worked VERY hard to make this a wonderful experience for me! I trust my life with Dr. Kim!

My first time meeting Dr Kim was at the seminar. Ge seemed very nice and confident, the cordnator is wonderful her nam is Pam and she has been a life savior right now we are trying for May 3rd 2004.
I will write more after i get the surgey. One thing I must say is he was very open to all questions and was veery willing to take time to speak with all of us.
