    While Dr Kim's academic achievements are impressive, his communication skills are woefully lacking…read more By that I mean he did not communicate basic information about a procedure until AFTER he performed it on me. I was scheduled for a consultation regarding a cyst in my wrist. Going into it, I knew I preferred draining the cyst, as opposed to cutting it out, and anticipated discussing this option. Instead, he went and got the supplies necessary to drain the cyst right then. It seemed silly to object and insist on scheduling a future appointment to do something he was ready to do during the current appointment, so I agreed. After he drained the cyst, he told me there would be some swelling because he'd injected it with cortisone. That was all he said. I had to ask if there were any restrictions on using my wrist, to which he responded that I should wear a wrist brace - for a MONTH. That is the kind of thing a patient needs to know AHEAD OF TIME. Luckily I had a wist brace at home, because that was not provided. I was surprised to discover I was unable to move or use my fingers the entire day because even the slightest movement of the fingers was very painful. That night when I took the brace off to change into my pajamas, my entire wrist was discolored from bruising. Dr. Kim did not mention anything about pain in the fingers & wrist, being unable to move the fingers & wrist, or bruising. I have no idea if those are normal consequences of the procedure, or if they are a sign that something is amiss. Dr. Kim acted as if this was similar to having blood drawn; they stick the needle in, it's uncomfortable for a moment, and then you go on your merry way. If I had known I would not be able to use my hand for a month, I would have scheduled the procedure accordingly. For example, after the huge project I need to complete in the coming weeks. Now I have a firm deadline approaching and I can't use one of my hands! This is a big problem for me. I also would have communicated whether or not I would permit him to inject my wrist with cortisone. Dr. Kim made no mention of risks or possible complications. It feels violating to have a Dr. mislead you about a procedure.

    Pretty annoyed with this hand surgeon. Came in he tried to pop a cyst. Said he did. I told him it's…read morenot. Said give it 2 weeks. I did. Ended up not doing anything. Got an expensive bill. Said come back in we'll do it again and bill you again. Then he referred me to this other dr. Drove 3 hours to see dr. waited an hour to be seen. Dr said you're too young to be here. 3 minutes later I was out with another expensive bill. Fun Fun...
