He strongly believes in treating every patient as a unique individual. Treatments are always tailored to a patient’s expectations and goals.
Dr. Kim chose to work at OSF HealthCare because he wanted to join a team that focuses exclusively on patient care and has a supportive staff with the same goals. Joining this local community reminds him of living in Chicago where the patient population is diverse in culture, ethnicity and background.
“During an appointment, I take the time to listen and answer questions in a manner that is easily understandable,” he said. “There is no greater calling in life than helping those in need, and I found my passion in operating on patients who require medical assistance.”
