Dr. Julie Kim was wonderful to work with for my RNY surgery. Knowledgeable, kind, and responsive to questions and concerns. A good 'people-person' surgeon as well as highly credentialed.rnrnShe has also performed a very large number of RNY procedures and that is a primary indicator of a patient's success.rnrnYou should feel comfortable in Dr. Kim's capable hands.rnrnrn
Very nice---quite professional. I saw him only very quickly in the hospital post-op. Two or three visits lasting no more than 30 seconds each. But I had no questions or complications, so no complaints.rnrnThe fact that I had NO post-op pain or problems leads me to believe he is a very competent surgeon and all research I did pre-op confirms that.rnrnI would highly recommend him.
When I first met Dr. Tarnoff, I was happy that he's a really comforting person. Unlike some of the appointments I've had, I didn't feel like I was in a deli line and was just the next customer.
Dr. Tarnoff was very professional and made the process very streamlined. He checked in with me several times at the hospital and I would highly recommend him to others.rnrnThere was not a big surgical focus on after care though, so you really have to proactively ask lots of questions to make sure you know what you are doing when you come home. The materials the support teams provided, gave a lot of details to help stimulate questions.
My first inpression was that Dr. Kim is a ver knowledgable surgeon. She walked me through the whole procedure, from beginning to end.She wanted to make sure that this was a sure fit for your lifestyle, and she wants to make sure that you take care of the work that she had performed on you.rnrnWhoever you may choose, all of these surgeons have each other assist in their operations, as in my case, it was Dr Kim and Dr. Shikora, and that assured me that I am receiving the best care possible.rnrnMy post-op care was top notch, as both Scott and Julie would stop in twice a day to check on the incisions and my well being. rnrnIn closing like any other life altering medical procedure, do your research.Know that the team you are gathering has done many of these procedures.This is why Tufts New England Medical Center is a Center of Excellence!rn
Dr. Kim was very kind and professional. I was quite impressed with her. She described the lap-band procedure very well and answered all of my questions. After surgery, I was amazed at how small and clean my incisions were. Most of the staff at Obesity Consult Center - Tufts New England Medical Center were wonderful. I felt very safe and secure with them. Overall, it has been a great experience!
I loved her...she was very honest and nice. I really felt she cared about me.
Dr. Tarnoff is an amazingly talented & thorough surgeon who made me feel very at ease. His approach is direct, but not intimidating. My entire experience at NEMC was top-notch - from the nursing staff to all of the OCC clinicians. I think every OCC doctor (whether I was their patient or not) from surgeons to psychologists to PAs to nutritionists to even med students/residents shadowing the other OCC doctors stopped by at some point to say hello & check in on me while I was at the hospital which I thought was really nice. Everyone, including Dr. Tarnoff, seemed to genuinely care about my progress. I felt secure in Dr. Tarnoff's care and especially at NEMC. I am so glad I chose NEMC for this procedure.
