Failed to remove blood clot, amputation resulted
I was in the Tristate Medical Center in Hermitage and this "doctor" was supposed to remove a blood clot in my lower right leg. He told my family that he had bypassed the clot but he did no such thing. I got gangrene in the toes on my right foot and they had to be amputated. After being sent back to my home in Parsons I had to be moved to Jackson Madison County General Hospital as an emergency patient and Dr. Jonathan Braun performed an angioplasty on the clot and restored blood flow to my foot. He contacted Dr. Kim and asked what he had actually done to remove the clot and was told that he was controlling it with medication.

One of the best, if not indeed the very best...
Dr Kim came highly recommended in response to a call out to my friends and associates after receiving a dire prognosis from a local university hospital renowned for their care and cutting edge technology (no pun intended). Dr Kim was everything I was told he was - bright, confident, well-spoken and always ahead of my questions - which can be very difficult... I was very impressed from the first meeting on to today's first post-op follow up for a femoral artery by-pass performed 13 days ago. I expect that Dr Kim will be doing the other leg as soon as I heal from this one. I do not believe I could recommend any more highly - one of the the best doctors I have ever seen for my own needs, if not indeed the best!
