I had a bad experience with Kim Neurosurgery, 5500 Wayzata Blvd, Golden Valley, MN. I went to Dr. Miriam Kim because I needed surgery to fix a herniated lumbar disk. She seemed nice enough when I was trying to decide which surgeon to use. At that time she seemed to be genuinely concerned for my wellfare. Later, however, when things weren't going so well, her manor changed. She was no longer the compassionate care giver she appeared to be when I was deciding which surgeon to use. Suddenly, she seemed to want to have nothing to do with me; like I had the plague or something. I actually had to threaten malpractice to get her to see me again, despite the fact that I was doing much worse. I suffered a significant deterioration and became disabled from extreme back pain in the same area my surgery was done. And now my spine is all hunched over like an old lady and she told me there is nothing she can do. The worst part is I asked her for a simple referral so I could go to Mayo and be evaluated there. She refused to give me this simple referral even though all it takes is a one phone call, and she doesn't even have to make it. All she has to do is direct her secretary to make the call. I don't think it's fair that anyone shoudl have that much power to condem me to a life in bed. Maybe she's just trying to hide a botched operation? It's looks bad on the statistics after all. I wouldn't recommend anyone use Dr. Kim, or Kim Neurosurgery, for anything. She is heartless, cruel, and drunk on power.
