1.0 star star_border star_border star_border star_borderI felt Dr. Kim was smug. He made me feel like I wasn’t the appropriate clientele for the practice. I have a medically related condition that has caused significant changes to my body composition. I felt like Dr. Kim would prefer to work on women seeking vanity procedures like botox, butt lifts, and boob jobs.

5.0 star star star star starDr. Kim is a fantastic doctor, extremely skilled and reassuring. Said all the right things to put me at ease. From the time I first met him for my consultation to the surgery date, it helped to relieve a lot of anxiety to know that I was in such competent capable hands.

5.0 star star star star starI always felt confident he was going to do the very best job on my surgery. Beyond him being very good at his craft, he’s also a very calming presence. His nursing staff are extremely professional, competent, and communicative when I had questions.

5.0 star star star star starAs stated above: I have had several experiences with Dr. John Kim. I consider him to be very empathic, intelligent and considerate. His aides are agreeable and efficient, giving me whatever information I need about appointments and payments. After a pre-op visit, when I suddenly needed an eco-cardiogram, they independently and quickly obtained a time for me when all my efforts had failed. In other words, they made it possible to meet last minute demands, for which I was relieved and grateful.

1.0 star star_border star_border star_border star_borderI’m sure he’s fine at what he does, but again, there were questions I had that easily could have been answered up front. My appointment was at 3:30, I drove two hours for it, and the doctor didn’t see me until 4:45.

External Professional Relationships
Pharmaceutical, device, and biotechnology companies frequently collaborate with basic scientists and physicians within an academic medical center to help advance science and improve patient care. These relationships are important in achieving scientific breakthroughs and in establishing the effectiveness and safety of promising new therapies. In order to assure objectivity in clinical research and patient care, the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine (Feinberg), Northwestern Memorial HealthCare, Children's Hospital of Chicago Medical Center, and the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab have adopted integrity policies that require research and clinical faculty (in full-time, part-time, and unpaid/voluntary categories) to report compensated and uncompensated external industry relationships. Patients are encouraged to discuss these disclosures with their physician as well as to inquire as to how these relationships are overseen by Feinberg.
