Im getting my revision in dallas, texas.. has anyone used dr. David kim and if so any feedback

Two dear friends from work have used him. They loved him and his staff and had great experience. I am using Dr Nick

Are you in dallas? I just had my cardiac testing this afternoon.. have history and physical tomorrow.. theu seem really nice.. im just getting cold feet

I am using Dr Kim for my revision. 4 weeks from today! Eeekkk! I've heard nothing but great things about Dr Kim and his staff. My experience with them has been great so far!

I am so glad I saw your post. I am using Dr. Kim too. I was thinking of moving over to Dr. Nicholson but he didn't have any early appointments and I don't want to wait. I have my surgery June 6th and I am very nervous!

Why are you wanted to change over to Dr. Nicholson. Has your experience been unsatisfying. I have my surgery scheduled for 28 May. I am very nervous too..

My experience hasn't been unsatisfying. His staff has been great. I was thinking of switching because Dr. Kim is far from where I live. I live in Frisco. I went to Dr. Kim because he was close to work and it was easy to get to appointments from work. I didn't realize the surgery would be at Wise. I thought it would be at Baylor at Trophy Club. Since it is at Wise, I thought it would be a long drive for my husband. Also, I read a couple of negative reviews about him not caring if there are complications. I also read that Dr. Nick does a leak test right after surgery to make sure everything went well. Guess I am a little nervous because I had a bad experience with my lapbad. I am nervous that if there are complications that Dr. Kim won't be there for me. Hopefully the negative reviews are wrong. What is your opinion of Dr. Kim?

Well, just FYI.. I am right up to surgery.. and I just finished with my Educational Class and History & Physical, which were the beginning of this week. We have a leak test the follow day of surgery. They do a leak test which you swallow the barium, kinda of like an Upper GI. To see if there is a leak. My surgery is at Baylor Medical Center at Trophy Club, Dr. Holden is the one acutally doing my surgery. I have only met Dr. Kim once, and that was at my initial eval, which was back in December. I have received nothing but a great experience with him, I just haven't read any reviews on Dr. Kim and the procedure from other patience. Where did you get that information, so maybe I can read up.. Thanks!

Thanks for the info! I had googled dr. Kim reviews. I don't remember the exact site.

I googled some today and there was some bad reviews and some excellent ones.. I think it depend s ob the patient.. well I wish you the best of luck..

Exactly. That is why I was torn. Hopefully everything will work out. Good luck to you! Keep me posted as to how things go.

I am using Dr. Kim. My surgery date is 5/20 and Im from NC and on my way to Texas as we speak!! I will let you all know how it goes!

Good luck!

I used dr kim he is a great surgeon, but to me and my family he liked bedside manner. I only got to meet him once and that was on the day I first decided to have surgery. He was there to make sure I had chose the right surgeon. As for aftercare I have only gone to the one week follow up. I did not see him again after surgery at the hospital or that day in his office. I had no complications with the surgery so far. I believe its your choice in what you are expecting from the surgeon as in bedside manner or aftercare. I was sleeved on 12/4/12. He nor his staff has even once tried to get a hold of me, to see how things are going and that I am doing ok. This is just my opinion.

I am certainly not suggesting you change your plans, but Dr NIck has personally been at three of my meetings at the Dr office, and he was very friendly and funny, and put me at ease each time. He said he would consult with me just before I go out and check with me when its over. I am set for Monday... so we will see. But I am very secure and happy in my choice
