When you’re looking into a foot or ankle procedure, it’s often helpful to hear from patients who have previously had the procedure in question. In this article, we are going to let our patients speak for themselves by offering up some testimonials.
“Dr. Kim did what no others could after two surgeries from other’s…Dr. Kim got me back on my feet.”
-Tee D.
“I was seen by Dr. Kim three weeks after I broke my left radius in a motorcycle accident. I had been getting the run around before that by my primary care provider. I had been in a splint during that time and my wrist was starting to heal in a bad position. I sought out a second opinion. Dr. Kim and the entire staff at Mt Tam Orthopedic realized the urgency in my situation and were all amazing. They took X-rays of my wrist in the office. They set up pre-surgery appointments for me and had me in surgery within 4 days. He had to essentially rebreak my wrist and remove some broken bone pieces then put it back together. I have a plate in my wrist and 10 screws. When I saw the X-ray after the fact I thought I was going to have some discomfort associated with all the metal in there for the rest of my life. It’s been five months since I had this procedure. I’m lifting weights again. I have full use and range of motion of my wrist and it’s actually stronger than it was before I had the accident. That is absolutely amazing to me. I earn my living with my hands and I’m so grateful for everyone at Mt. Tam Orthopedics for taking care of me when I needed their help. Thank you so much.”

“Paul Kim MD and his whole surgical team, including Danielle and Helen and his office staff, were amazing and very available and professional from start to finish when I was (am) under their care of my R. foot Bunion and 2 hammer toes (fusion). I give Paul Kim MD and his team my highest recommendations.”

“Great understanding of my injury and future plans to continue playing collegiate sports. Staff was phenomenal every visit and truly provided a support system during a difficult procedure. Dr. Kim was great to work with, informative and effective.”

“Dr. Paul Kim is not only an extraordinary surgeon; he is classy guy and a wonderful person. Firstly, he sends a hand written card to you after your first visit. He did this for both my son and friend who saw him after an emergency. And he did this for me after I sucked it up and realized that surgery was in my future. After my first visit with Dr. Kim, I was hopeful and excited to have surgery. Dr. Kim answered my follow up questions by email promptly and after surgery answered emails about recovery and medications. I am proud to boast that I have a bionic ankle built by Dr. Kim.”

“I’ve received excellent, professional care at Mt Tam Orthopedics. Suffered a pretty severe ankle fracture last year, and luckily squeezed into Dr. Kim’s busy schedule. He reduced it and performed the surgery to stabilize it & my outcomes have been better than I expected. He’s clearly a very dedicated, knowledgeable & skillful surgeon — uses cutting-edge approaches, etc. He’s also personable, patient and caring. Highly recommend!”
-Jen C.
“Dr. Kim is the best! He’s not only an excellent surgeon (he saved me from having a rod put in my foot) but he’s kind and listens and answers all of your questions. He visited me before my surgery and made me feel so comfortable. For a surgeon, he spends an amazing amount of time with his patients. He’s pleasant and warm. I can’t say enough about Dr. Kim.”
-Shelly L.
“The first surgery (foot surgery) I’ve had since I had my tonsils removed when I was 5 years old. Dr. Kim was great! I highly recommend him. Excellent pain management program post surgery and his office staff is very kind and helpful too. Dr. Kim answers questions honestly and patiently.”
