I interviewed several plastic surgeons prior to having a bi-lateral mastectomy and reconstruction. Upon my first meeting with Dr. Kim, I knew she was the right doctor to do my reconstruction. In addition to being highly recommended by my surgical oncologist, she was professional, personable, and didn't make outlandish promises about the outcome of my surgery. Her staff is also a good reflection of her and I have enjoyed working with them.

I am a cancer survivor who unfortunately experienced a double mastectomy. I was reassured by Dr. Kim of a positive result and she has done a wonderful job with my reconstruction. My confidence level is great! I am still under construction and all procedures are handled in a very professional and timely manner to fit my needs.

I cannot recommend Dr. Kim highly enough. On my first visit she immediately put me at ease and answered every one of my questions and concerns. In my pre-op appointment, she got me excited about actually having the surgery. I am 2 weeks post op on a breast reduction, and I could not be happier with how I feel and the result. I have another month to mend but that will be easy. She is the best of both worlds, a scientist and an artist. A great surgeon. Do yourself a great service and choose her.

Consider her part of my "Dream steam" of Drs. I had a double mastectomy and Dr Kim did my reconstruction and from the beginning to the end she was flawless, compassionate, straightforward, and I am so lucky to know her and have her as my Dr. Her entire staff is courteous, professional and I have always had a positive experience in her office. I can't say enough good things about her and her staff. For such a difficult decision to have this type of surgery Dr Kim was a perfect guiding light.
