    I feel fortunate to have had Dr. Kim as my doctor for my recent first cataract surgery. I am so happy with the results. Because of his excellent care and reassurances throughout the process - before, during and after the procedure - I am comfortable as my second cataract procedure approaches.

    Cataract surgery comes with a lot of questions - risks, options, types of lenses and more. I am grateful that my care giver and team spent so much time analyzing my condition and then explaining my options in simple, plain terms.

    I have had this operation in my other eye three times and I have never had a doctor explain everything he was going to do, why and how. Dr. Kim explained everything so I could really understand the procedure. He has a great personality.
