Helen H. Kim, M.D., is certified by the American College of Surgeons. She has a special interest in breast surgery, robotic surgery, and minimally invasive surgery. She is a trained and certified console surgeon on da Vinci® Single-Site™, the da Vinci® Surgical System, and EndoWrist®. She practices abdominal wall hernia repair and open, laparoscopic, and robot-assisted techniques for complex and recurrent hernias. She also performs gastrointestinal surgery, laparoscopic and open colectomy, cholecystectomy, appendectomy, anti-reflux surgery, and laparoscopic intra-abdominal scar release surgery.
Dr. Kim treats high risk, benign, and malignant breast conditions through initial evaluation of high breast cancer risk patients, management and treatment of breast pain, nipple discharge, breast masses and image-detected lesions, as well as surgical management of breast cancer, which includes breast-conserving lumpectomy, skin-sparing and nipple-sparing mastectomy, and sentinel lymph node biopsy. She also coordinates breast reconstruction at the time of mastectomy.
During her sabbatical year in 2010, she performed surgeries at Kijabe, Kenya as a short-term medical missionary for one month, travelled to France and Italy, and took oil-painting classes. In and out of the operating room, Dr. Kim places emphasis on meticulous surgical techniques and offers the most advanced minimally invasive approaches wherever applicable, while caring for the patient as a whole in the context of their other medical conditions.
I met with Dr. Helen Kim today regarding my inguinal hernia. She was exceptionally kind and thoroughly explained every detail and option regarding the necessary surgery. She even drew diagrams to answer my questions, making everything very clear and easy to understand. I wholehartedly recommend Dr. Kim to anyone in need of hernia surgery.
Dr. Kim is a very likable person with a pleasant demeanor. She takes the time to gain a proper diagnosis and does an excellent job explaining all the aspects, options and expectations of the situation. Additionally, her admin and medical staff are proficient making the experience timely and easy. Dr. Kim performed a gallbladder procedure fore me several months ago and everything was flawless. That is why I have returned for a hernia procedure.
