Mee S Kim, MD

Dr. Kim was the surgeon assigned to perform my laparotomy for the dermoid cyst in my ovary. Her office is right next to the valley Presbyterian hospital. She was very professional when she came to me when I was in the ER. She would check in briefly to see how I was doing while I was recovering. She answered my questions and gave me the feeling that she had done this procedure many times before. However, this was my first medical experience ever! I had never been admitted to a hospital in my life therefore I was unsure of what my life would be like after the surgery, in regards to hospital bills and follow ups on my incision. I did have many appointments after the surgery with dr. Kim to check on my incision. She made my incision less invasive as possible so that I would be able to have a thinner scar than usual which is nice because even though I didnt care as much about the scar at the moment, as much as my overall health, it was nice that she thought of me as a person and not just another patient. However my health insurance does not cover her office. Her office is contracted with Preferred IPA or Hispanic IPA, so I have to pay or change my medical group. She is pretty busy and when going to my appointment, it seems like the average wait time is 30 – 45 mins to see her and she is quick to attend you when you do get to see you. Not sure if this is a good thing or not, but I had to see her since she was the one that performed the surgery on me.
