"Had my surgery on July 18th with Dr. Kim at North Hills Hospital. His staff is awesome, starting with his Bariartic cord. Pam, who guides you through the whole insurance process and answers your many questions and concerns during this time. His office staff were very kind and helpful (have had less contact with them than anyone at this point--but very helpful when I called for pre-scheduling etc.)
Dr. Kim really cares about his patients and will take extra precautions to ensure you safety during this surgery. He asked that I be cleared by a pulmonologist before my surgery which I thought was not necessary at the time, but it gave me some time to lose some weight pre-op, get some great care from a pulmonologist, and I had absolutely no problems at the hospital. This was a case of pre-planning paid off in a big way for me. I have no complaints at all, and have even seen Dr. Kim at support group meetings he has each month, so this shows me he cares how we are doing after the surgery. "
"I loved the hospital. It is a small hospital, but has a special bariartic wing just for WLS patients. We had our own nurses, and the rooms were large, chairs were large and bathrooms were accommodating."
