Dr. Kim is a great neurosurgeon. He's highly gifted and skilled, knowledgeable, polite, and…read moreprofessional. He's informative and has good bedside manner and does a good job explaining his gameplan, mindset, and reasoning in an efficient manner. Appointments are not always the easiest to come by since he's the head of neurosurgery for UC Davis Medical Group. I could've seen someone else a bit sooner but chose to wait since my case was a bit complicated due to previous spine procedures and surgery. Parking is easy to find in their vast parking lot. You'll find a number of other specialty offices in other suites on their campus. I underwent a L5-S1 discectomy at their wonderful new 48X outpatient surgical facility. It's a gorgeous new surgery center that's designed for outpatient procedures but they'll admit you overnight if needed. Unfortunately my disc was calcified and he had to carefully and tediously drill out the herniated disc as it was pressing on my nerve root. It caused horrific pain and my leg and foot were becoming unstable and weak. My surgery ended up being five hours long instead of two, and he ended up admitting me overnight for observation and pain control, which was a blessing. I'm on the road to recovery, and I thank Dr. Kim for everything. I hope and pray I'm able to ride a bicycle with our daughters who are five and eight in the near future. I was in a car accident in 2017 and underwent a laminectomy and microdiscectomy in 2018. I've never been able to go on a bike ride with them and it's been my dream, hope, and wish I've been working towards.

Long story but if you are considering Dr. Kim, it is well worth reading!!…read more Dr. Kee Kim is an incredible doctor and he has my absolute highest recommendation to anyone considering scheduling an operation with him. Surgery is never easy, but with Dr. Kim it was. After 11 years of pain, I am now pain-free. ***My Story*** My L4-L5 disc herniated in 2007, at the age of 21. I spent the next 11 years in increasingly debilitating pain. I went to various doctors multiple times up and down the state complaining of pain in the same region. They all sent me home with pain pills/narcotics, none of them believing (or caring?) about the severity of my pain. It became worse and worse until finally I had to quit my job as a teacher because I became (basically) paralyzed in 2017. The pain was so bad that I couldn't get up. My 6-year-old spent the next 6-9 months taking full care of me, (I'm a single mom) including meals, cleaning etc. as I laid in bed in excruciating pain. ***Dr. Kee Kim*** My story became public when I reached out to the newspaper begging for help as I was financially depleted and about to become homeless. Dr. Kee Kim, out of the kindness of his heart and by the grace of God, decided he could help me and took me on. I was so scared to do the surgery, who wouldn't be? But I knew that if anyone could help me, it would be him... I had read numerous reviews on various websites about him; even from people who flew in from out of state just for him. After meeting him and seeing how professional, knowledgeable and confident he was, I knew for a fact I was in good hands. While Dr. Kim was operating on my spine, he discovered that my disc had fused to my spinal cord because it had been herniated for so long. This was not apparent on any testing done prior to surgery, so Dr. Kim had to scrape the disc off my spinal cord-- on the spot. One slip of the hand and I would've been fully paralyzed for life. To me it shows incredible talent, genius, and hand-eye coordination that a neurosurgeon absolutely MUST have. I am so thoroughly impressed and pleased with the outcome. (An unexpected outcome as well is that my mood and spirits are so high. I didn't even realize how my disability had me so down in the dumps until Dr. Kim fixed me.) It has been almost 6 months since surgery and I am feeling great! The scar is so small (less than an inch long) and already faded to a light light pink. I am not only able to take care of my son again, but we get to go on hikes, parks, bike rides and more. I have my life back, and my son has his mom back. If you are reading this Dr. Kim, my son and I THANK YOU ETERNALLY!!!

My primary care doctor referred me to Dr. Tweet three years ago after a racing pharmacy tech…read moretrainee hit me with a cart when turning a corner in the ER. It sounds worse than it was (I was there for my shoulder, so it was almost comical). I asked for some ice for my leg and then they gave me an X-ray of my knee as a bonus to ensure I was ok. Thank goodness for that pharmacy tech, because the radiologist noted I had a loose body in my left knee. I had struggled with knee issues for the previous seven years and had run out of my allotted cortisone shots. I was staving off a knee replacement which included doing fun things like stretching my knee so I could get up after being seated, resorting to swimming as the only form of exercise I could do, and manually unlocking my kneecap after researching it on you tube. Dr. Tweet actually listened to me, including my history of knee injury from yoga. No other orthopedic doctor had. They looked at my X-rays and had tunnel vision. I had previously been told at 40 to wait until I was 55 to get a knee replacement so I'd be dead by the time the parts wore out and I wouldn't need a revision. Umm, ok..no. Dr. Tweet also ordered an MRI. I had begged my previous orthopedic doctor in LA to do so to no avail years before. The MRI confirmed my knee was a mess but Dr. Tweet advised I was a candidate for arthroscopic surgery. Knee replacement may be in my future according to Dr. Tweet but I jumped at the chance to get help that wasn't a massive joint replacement. I scheduled surgery about nine months later and was not afraid in the least because I genuinely trusted Dr. Tweet. It turned out my knee was a bigger mess than even imagined from imaging and he had to cut a new incision to extract a giant chunk of bone that had been rattling around in my kneecap and grinding down my meniscus. It's been two years since my knee surgery and I can say it was the best thing ever. Recovery was no picnic (on crutches for a week) and PT (which I asked for) was rough. But somehow I knew even walking with crutches to his office a week post-op that this was the best surgery that I could have had. I've found that rebuilding my muscles through work, rest, heat, cold, and swim therapy is the best for me (at my own pace). Slow and steady wins the race. I'm almost at my two year surgery anniversary. I'm so grateful for Dr. Tweet's expertise and compassionate care for his patients. Life changing indeed. Excuse me while I happily jump out of my chair without having to unlock my knee, thanks to Dr. Tweet.
