Professor Kim was incredibly attentive and was available to ask any questions I had before and after my tonsillectomy. In my initial consultation, he outlined the procedure, associated risks and things I needed to consider before proceeding with my decision to go ahead with the operation. My recovery went extremely well, which I can only attribute to the fantastic surgery Professor Kim performed. I would recommend him to anyone seeking ENT treatment, especially tonsillectomies.

Professor Kim is really experienced in this area and the surgery went much better than I thought, the cut and scar are small and this is not only beneficial for the appearance and also minimise the risk of infection. I am very pleased and appreciated for everything Prof Kim helped.

I required major surgery and Professor Dae Kim was incredible in every way possible. Not only is he incredibly skilled but he has amazing bedside manners, is super friendly and made me feel completely at ease throughout the process and especially the morning of the surgery. Professor Kim took the time to explain to me in detail all the risks associated with the surgery and ensured precautionary measures were taken by having a thoracic surgeon on standby. Despite the many risks, the surgery went as smoothly as it possibly could have. I cannot thank him enough and I would highly recommend him.
