Peter D. Kim's Online Review Report Card

Dr. Kim performed a delicate surgery removing radiation necrosis from my 52 year old sister’s brain. Due to her health from fighting stage 4 melanoma, this surgery had to be rescheduled 4 times. This was very frustrating for our family. Dr. Kim showed great compassion, explained everything to us in great detail, and even adjusted his surgical schedule to try to get the surgery done. When my sister was finally healthy enough to have the surgery, Dr. Kim shared in our joy. We knew he was equally as excited as we were to finally get this done and give my sister a chance to have quality of life again. I can’t say enough to express our gratitude and appreciation for Dr. Kim. During this long dark journey with stage 4 cancer, he provided us with security and hope again. He recognizes the person within the patient. I would definitely recommend working with Dr Kim should you find someone you love in need of neurosurgery.

Very thorough in explaining things, but can be very frank too.

Dr. Kim is an outstanding, intelligent and professional doctor. He is very caring. Our concerns were his concerns. He took his time to answer all of our questions. He is a very genuine and kind-hearted person. My son was a trauma patient and came in on an emergency basis. I thank God everyday for having such an intelligent pediatric neurosurgeon readily available. As scary as the situation was, I trusted in Dr. Kim 100%. I can tell he genuinely cares about his patients.

Amazing neurosurgeon. He is very polite, is a concerned dr about his patients, explains things so you can understand whats going on, doesnt rush you and he is very professional. Definetly the best ive met and will stay with him as long as he is needed.

Dr. Kim performed a tethered cord release on my nine year old. We had been to several pediatric doctors in an attempt to find the source of my son's terrible lower back pain. While some radiologists and doctors missed the tether on the MRI, Dr. Kim believed the MRI showed the possibility of tether and suggested that we do the operation immediately. All of our questions were answered. Dr. Kim repeatedly asked if we had "any further questions." Gillette's is undeniably the best place for children in Minnesota, with the most skilled and dedicated team in the area. My son is now pain free, about four months out from the surgery. The follow-up care, involving nurses, physical therapists, and Dr. Kim is superb. I believe that all of the staff wants my child to succeed in his healing and moving forward. Dr. Kim is amazingly talented, has excellent bed-side manner, and cares deeply for his patients. He is an asset to Gillette's. Intelligent and experienced pediatric neurosurgeon.
