Dr. Kim believes the best surgical experiences happen when patients feel understood and empowered. She takes time to explain procedures, listen to concerns, and tailor treatments to each person’s needs and lifestyle. With ongoing care and communication, her goal—whether it’s a first consult or multi-phase treatment—is always the same: to deliver precise, modern, patient-centered care.
