Dec 29, 2023
Through my own experience , I know Dr Kim is truly an experienced and skilled breast surgeon who clearly explained and answered all my questions with careful consideration of my feeling and special needs. She is an outstanding doctor who successfully removed all my DCIS with no pain and the scar is not visible. She is one of my favorite doctor who I trust, appreciate and love dearly. Highly recommend Dr Kim to anyone who needs an excellent breast surgeon specialist.
