Richard Y. Kim's Online Review Report Card

Dr. Kim is awesome!! It has been about 7 months since I had surgery on my wrist to repair a scaphoid fracture. He is one of the most professional and dedicated physicians I have ever been treated by. It has been a long road to recovery but throughout the process, he made me feel comfortable and less anxious. He explained the procedure fully, offered options, and answered all my questions in detail. What is most impressive is that he took the time to periodically checked in with me to make sure I was doing well even after months of surgery. I am very pleased to say that my wrist has completely healed. Dr. Kim, thank you! You are truly one of a kind.

I had carpel tunnel surgery on both hands while awake and felt nothing.Dr.Km is amazing. Anyone having hand problems please see him he is fantastic.

Dr Kim performs surgery on my husband and we were so very impressed with his skill as a hand surgeon but also about his beautiful best side manner. He called after the surgery two times to make sure my husband was feeling well. He gives great instructions and his office staff person is also sweet and was also attentive to our needs. Great practice.

HIGHLY recommend Dr Kim for any hand /wrist issues. He has a phenomenal bedside manner and takes the time to explain in detail what is going on. He welcomes questions and gives you 100% of his attention. His staff is equally wonderful! Wish all doctors were this lovely and SMART!!!!

2 carpal tunnel surgeries

My story begins in Aug. 2019. As usual the best reference is word of mouth. I came under Dr. Kim's care for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome in both wrists. Tried Cortisone injections first, but that only brought temporary relief. Next, came surgeries on wrists 4 months apart. After Occupational Therapy my hands were good again. Soon after I discovered that I was developing Dupuytren's Contracture Syndrome in both hands. As in the Carpal Tunnel surgeries all the risks and successes we explained to me which left me as a well informed patient. Alternative methods were also explained. I made the right decision to have the surgeries done and not the chemical injection option. I have witnessed a relative who had the chemical injection route and after viewing my results he realized he made the mistake of his life. What a mess! After being under Dr. Kim's care for almost 3 years, I can emphatically say that he is a wizard with the scalpel as well as being a true compassionate human being.

I am very pleased with the overall care received from Dr. Kim and his office staff. I am very satisfied with the outcome of my hand surgery.

I went to 3 hand surgeons before I chose Dr. Kim. He answered my questions, was very nice and was very knowledgeable. My hand surgergies came out excellent. I would highly recommend Dr. Kim.

Dr. Kim and his staff were amazing to work with. I went snowboarding and broke my wrist. It was a smooth process to schedule the appointment with Dr. Kim. Dr. Kim was very knowledgeable and helped explain the damage to the wrist. The surgery went well and already on the road to recovery. Thankful for him and his staff. Very caring and professional.

I was born with 2 fingers on my left hand severely deformed. For years many other specialist I had consulted simply wanted to amputate both fingers. People can be very mean. For over 40 years people would make faces or make comments under their breath. They also asked intrusive questions. What happened were you in an accident ? This has caused me much emotional pain and self esteem issues my whole life not to mention as I aged my fingers developed painful arthritis. My husband never gave up and always encouraged me to start looking for another doctor. That's when I found Dr. Kim. On my first visit I saw have caring and confident he was that he could help me. Felt I could trust him. He has changed my life. He was able to reconstruct my finger (which included shortening and breaking the finger in various points then twisting it into proper position). When I healed you could even see a scar. His hands are BLESSED ! I will always indebted to Dr. KIM.
