I used Dr. Kim for my double hernia surgery on December 2, 2019. The surgery went extremely well, and I was off any pain medications after just 2 days. Dr. Kim is very personable, puts you at ease, and takes time to answer all your questions. I highly recommend him. His office staff is also tops and always was very responsive to any inquiry I had.

Dr. Kim is an extremely professional, very thorough, and friendly surgeon. I saw him for an initial consultation for a hernia as well as an appendix issue that I was having, and then scheduled surgery with him one week after the initial consultation. The surgery went very very well, and he has my strongest recommendation.

Dr. Kim took me step by step through the surgical process, explaining the need for the surgery to be performed and presented a calm demeanor that helped alleviate my concerns. His post operative staff further complemented his standards and team efforts to ensure my successful recovery. I hope to have him in my corner again if the need were to arise for a 5 star surgeon.

Dr. Kim is a very good surgeon and is a very pleasant doctor to work with. We have been seeing him since 2007 and have had 3 surgeries. He was our first choice for this most resent surgery. He will be our first choice if needed again. Would recommend him to everyone.

Two weeks ago I was in the ER with severe stomach pain only to find out I would need to have my gallbladder taken out that day. My husband and I were pretty fearful as this was the first ever surgery i have had. Dr. Kim was incredible kind, reassuring and very thorough about telling us what was to be done. When I awoke he showed great compassion and calm. His smile lit up the hospital room. Today was the follow up and he showed great care. This is what medicine is all about.

Dr. Kim is very professional and a caring surgeon. He takes the time to make sure you understand the procedure and asks if you have any questions or concerns. No one likes to have surgery but he makes it a lot easier and more comfortable. Thank-you Dr Kim!

Dr Kim is such a wonderful man! I'm from South Africa and was on vacation in Colorado when my appendix started acting up and after being brought in for emergency surgery, I was lucky enough to have him remove it. He has a great sense of humor and he really knows how to keep you calm and relaxed about the surgery you're about to have. He went out of his way to make sure I had all the documentation I needed to take back to my health insurance in South Africa. 10 thousand thank you'd, Dr Kim!

Dr. Kim is a surgical wizard! He performed an emergency laparoscopic appendectomy on me for a ruptured appendix, and did an amazing job! I was out of the hospital in 4 days, will have unnoticeable scars, and was very pleased with his professionalism and bedside manner. If I ever need surgery again, I will do everything in my power to acquire his services - he is worth it!

I went through a very rough time at Littleton Adventist Hospital regarding my Small Intestine Bowel blockage. Dr. Kim took excellent care of me. He is a living example of the hospital's TV advertisement that states that the doctors at Littleton just don' practice medicine but LIVE MEDICINE!
I would totally recommend Dr. Kim.

After I was admitted to the ED at Littleton Adventist, Dr. Kim performed laparoscopic surgery to repair a twisted small bowel and adhesions from surgery 5 months ago. His knowledge, calm demeanor, and approach to finding a minimally invasive solution to my issue were just what was needed during this stressful time. He was so positive and reassuring throughout!! I am forever grateful to Dr. Kim for his care before, during, and after my surgery. I feel so blessed.

Dr. Kim is one of a kind as a surgeon. I am currently pregnant and had significant pain due to what I thought was pregnancy symptoms. He ended up treating me for an abscess. It was a terribly scary experience for me being pregnant and never experiencing anything like this before. Dr. Kim was supportive, insightful, kind, and compassionate. I will forever remain grateful for him. If you are in need of a surgeon, don’t look any further. You’ve found him, and you will be in excellent hands.
