AI Review Summary
This summary was created by AI based on recent reviews
Professor Dae Kim is clear, professional, reassuring, and approachable with patients. He fully explains diagnoses and treatments, including successful tonsillectomy and nodule removal. His caring manner helps patients feel calm, leading to successful surgery and good outcomes with small scars. Thyroidectomy is a main theme in patient feedback.
I was fully informed at every stage by Professor Kim and his secretary Jessica who organised my consultations and surgery promptly. Professor Kim took time to explain everything clearly to me and is sensitive and caring in his approach. They both made my experience as stress free as possible. Obviously a leader in his field his professionalism gave me confidence and I recommend Professor Kim without hesitation.
Very re assuring and professional. Highly recommend.
I had thyroid surgery with Professor Kim, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. He was clear and reassuring, providing all the information I needed while making me feel at ease, even taking into consideration my family needs and situation. His professionalism and calming presence were truly appreciated, and he was always available to address any concerns. I highly recommend him for anyone in need of a skilled and compassionate surgeon.
I saw Prof. Kim regarding my throat. I was constantly coughing and almost lost my voice. Prof. Kim diagnosed the root cause of it, a nodule had to be removed which was operated by Prof Kim. Its being 8 months now since my operation, I am not coughing and have my voice back. Prof. Kim was very professional throughout. Thank you Prof. Kim.
I felt very reassured by Professor Dae Kim's expertise and grasp of the symptoms I was suffering with. He has a sympathetic manner and the course of treatment he suggested was very effective.
Prof Kim explained very clearly step by step with my diagnosis and treatment. He was very friendly and polite and did an amazing job. I have completely healed and very happy with my treatment!
Professor Kim was fantastic. He immediately put me at ease. He explained everything thoroughly in a very clear way and he was very personable. He explained what I should now do to relieve my symptoms.
I sought consultation with Professor Dae Kim regarding my concerns related to tinnitus in my ear, which emerged following a swimming session. Although there has been no resolution to this issue after our consultations (no fault of Prof Kim), I found the sessions to be extremely beneficial. Professor Kim provided thorough explanations and demonstrated a personable approach, which greatly reassured me during this ongoing situation. He was generous in offering valuable advice and insights. In conclusion, I would highly recommend his services.
Thank you Professor Dae Kim for your time and sharing your knowledge to look to try and help me, much appreciated.
