This was a follow up visit. I felt better but still have some pain. The Doctor and I agreed that I don't need surgery at this time, however after that it seemed to me that the doctor, who is a surgeon, totally lost interest in helping me further. All of my questions about what could come next were answered with "I don't know" or he just didn't understand my question. Sending me to a pain doctor and physical therapy were the only recommendations. I feel disappointed that I didn't receive more insight into the expected course of my ailment or helpful tips about how to best heal from my disc rupture. If that's too much to expect then it was a waste of money to go to this appointment.

During the initial diagnosis that Dr Kim gave me I resisted his findings.Dr Kim felt my apprehension and therefore took as much time as he needed during the examination until I was satisfied in understanding his diagnosis.I thought he was the most incredible Dr I've ever been examined by, and Cedar Sanai should be proud to have him as part of their medical team.

The pain from herniated discs has been increasing lately. I have had the problem for over a year and I'm unable to properly do my job and some functions of everyday life.. I just received some new MRI results and I was hoping for some fresh insights/answers about my actual diagnosis and about how to proceed in getting better. My goal is to return to my normal life and my work. We looked at my X-rays and MRI. I was told surgery was not necessary however, that It was never going to be completely healed that I should basically, live with it. Dr. Sang Kim referred me to yet another pain management specialist and physical therapy and our meeting was over. I filled out copious amounts of forms with my history & current health Information for this appointment & I spoke with the Nurse Practitioner before I saw the Doctor but I got the feeling that my paperwork had not been adequately reviewed. The visit moved along very fast & we never really got into how I was currently feeling, pain level, or even, what my occupation was.. Technically, Dr. Kim's reading of my test results was fine but on a personal level, I did not feel "heard". I left the office feeling like it was a waste of everyone's time. I have been seeing two other Doctors at Cedar Sinai for the last 10 years and I have full confidence in them. I randomly chose Dr. Kim at the Spine Center because I wanted to stay within the Cedar's health system for the great care and continuity. It was not a "good fit" and I will be finding a different doctor for a second opinion.

I had my spine surgery one year ago. I was extremly ill prepared by Dr Sang Kim regarding my Surgery. Initally prior to the surgery the way Doctor Kim explained about my surgery as if it was a no big deal of a surgery with most of his patients walking the following day. Clearly this was not the case. He never mentioned what to truly expect after the surgery and the recovery period ! During the follow-up visits after the surgery ( past one year) Dr Kim's attitude has been that he has done the best surgery irrespective of the complaints I have shared with him with all the side effects I have been having. Even yesterday when I raised the concern I had with numbness, his response was that he has no response ! I fully understand no Doctor is God, and can necessarily make everything perfect but he should at least prepare you prior the surgery and clearly explain what things to expect after the surgery !
