This was a follow up consultation. Following a scan and blood test. As always, super clear explanation from Prof Kim. He carefully considers my questions and concerns providing me with practical advice and a clear path for next steps.
Prof Kim has a great manner and his depth of knowledge gives real confidence. PA Jess also a star!
I had parotid surgery about two weeks ago and was very impressed with the whole experience. The consultant was extremely professional, knowledgeable, caring and reassuring throughout. Everything was clearly explained to me, and I felt well looked after before, during and after the procedure. I’m very grateful to his whole team and would highly recommend their care. The Cromwell hospital staff were very professional, friendly and supportive throughout my stay. Everyone made me feel comfortable and well cared for, and the whole experience was handled exceptionally well. Thank you to the entire team for their excellent care and support.
I saw Professor Kim for a revision septoplasty, which is a harder job than a first operation. From the first consultation he was clear about what he thought was wrong, what he could fix, and what I should realistically expect, and I valued that honesty. On the day at the Cromwell everything ran smoothly, and as a day case I was home that evening. The operation could not have gone better. He's also a thoroughly good man to be in the hands of: calm, unhurried, and he clearly cares about getting it right for you. I would recommend him without hesitation.
Dr Kim was very attentive, thorough and professional throughout my appointment. He explained the diagnosis very clearly and took the time to make sure I understood everything. I also really appreciated his advice on what to look out for in the future and the precautions I should take. I felt very reassured and well informed after the consultation, and would highly recommend him.
We had an excellent experience with Dr Dae Kim during a complicated family medical case. He is a very accomplished specialist who combines high-level expertise with a warm, reassuring, and personable manner. He was very thorough with the diagnosis, took time to listen, and explained treatment options clearly while focusing on overall wellbeing. We felt genuinely cared for and are deeply grateful for his professionalism
I was very nervous and Professor DAE Kim was kind, reassuring, knowledgeable and professional. His explanation was clear and I would not hesitate to see him again if needed.
Prof Kim was professional and patiently explained the results of my scans. I was able to exhaust all my questions and i didn't feel rushed.
