I am looking into going with him but would like your experience with him, good or bad. I am self-pay.

Also, did you have drain, how long stay in hospital, aftercare? I would be flying from out-of-state so need to get as much information as possible. Does he has a specific coofinator who works out of his office and NOT the recruiting type places?

All input is appreciated.

Have you looked into Dr. Nick Nicholson in Dallas? If not I suggest at least checking in with them, you might like it better. If you put in a query on the website the coordinator gets back to you very quickly. They are extremely nice there and the hotel room is included with your price (nice plus).

I am trying to go through insurance in my state, but have already decided to go with Nicholson if insurance falls through.

I originally was thinking about Dr. Kim but the office was not very responsive and was dragging thier feet for like a week just to look at my medical history packet that I had filled out, AND then I also read some very un-flattering things about him online (bedside manner, possibly rude to patients) and so that's when I got in touch with Nicholson's office and loved the service and just overall information and vibe that I got over there.

Good luck!! I know how hard it can be to choose a doctor, especially from out of state.

ETA: I have no way of knowing if any of what was written online about Dr. Kim is true or not, it's just stuff I read in some online reviews.

My friend used Dr. Kim and was happy but problems happened and she eventually had a redo by another doctor. She was not happy with his work . I would recommend Dr. Cribbins and Dr. Hamm.
