4.0 star star star star star_borderI haven't had the surgery yet, but Dr. Kim is recommended and understood my facelift issues (in terms of a realistic and natural look). He is very kind, a good listener and appears to have a cautious approach.

5.0 star star star star starDr. Kim is hands down the best! Two c-sections left me needing a tummy tuck and I am so fortunate to have found such a skilled surgeon and amazing staff. He made me feel so comfortable throughout the entire process answering questions and explaining everything to me. I followed all of the instructions he gave me after the surgery and had a great recovery. I wouldn’t recommend any other surgeon! And….I am obsessed with my results!

5.0 star star star star starDr Kim is an amazing surgeon. His technique is what gave me such amazing results just 7 week post abdominoplasty. He has great bedside manner and is very patient with all of my questions. He is the best plastic surgeon I could have asked for and I am a doctor too and did my research.

5.0 star star star star starDr. John Kim is amazing! I have seen Dr. Kim since 2009. He is an excellent surgeon and has cared for both my son and myself. I suffer from a great deal of skin cancer and Dr. Kim always closes my Mohs surgical incisions. He is very caring about his patients. I highly recommend Dr. Kim!

External Professional Relationships
Pharmaceutical, device, and biotechnology companies frequently collaborate with basic scientists and physicians within an academic medical center to help advance science and improve patient care. These relationships are important in achieving scientific breakthroughs and in establishing the effectiveness and safety of promising new therapies. In order to assure objectivity in clinical research and patient care, the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine (Feinberg), Northwestern Memorial HealthCare, Children's Hospital of Chicago Medical Center, and the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab have adopted integrity policies that require research and clinical faculty (in full-time, part-time, and unpaid/voluntary categories) to report compensated and uncompensated external industry relationships. Patients are encouraged to discuss these disclosures with their physician as well as to inquire as to how these relationships are overseen by Feinberg.
