"Dr. Kim is a great surgeon. His bedside manner was excellent, even when I asked a bunch of noob questions. The CTR surgery went off without a hitch. The incision is like half an inch, and he is the Michelangelo of suturing. They're absolutely beautiful. Tiny and even and perfect Xs, the sides of the insicion pulled even and the skin is not bunched up like some I've seen. It's healing great, I don't think there's going to be much of a scar. Big fan. I'm going to request him for my alternate hand when it's time. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because he wasn't informative of what results to expect from the surgery, what the complications might be, how to care for the incision site at home, or what hand excersizes to do or how/when to do them. I only know I'm supposed to be doing them from coming across the info online. This might not be good for his less intelligent patients."

"Almost 1 year ago I had ulnar nerve and carpal tunnel surgery done-wish I never had. Got bad advise from neurologist at office to have procedure ( just wanted surgery to make $ instead of suggesting physical therapy or special excersizes. Dr Kim personality before surgery was non existent. He left me with barely any info for follow up. Never gave info for strength building or anything. Now on to how my hand and arm are after almost 1 year-soooo much worse than before surgery. Nothing was corrected, everything is worse. I like most Reliant Dr’s I have gone to but the Neurology office and Dr’s are lazy and a bunch of crooks. Nurses at surgery center were good. My advise-DO NOT LET DR KIM DO SURGERY ON YOU. "
