Dr. Edward Kim, MD

I starting going to Dr. Kim over 10 years ago due to a history of prostate cancer in my family. He talked me into a urolift procedure along the way. Was going about every 6 month until about a year and half ago when he told me to come back in a year. I now have stage 4 prostate cancer. AND a different doctor.

Dr Kim was very pleasant as he assured he would be right there. He examined my history as he assured me my bladder problems will be eliminated.

scheduling excellent, front desk staff excellent,Dr. Kim arragont and not on a patients level. He puts himslelf above the patient. He wouldn't answer questions and treats the patient as inferior. I am disappointed that UTMedical Center keeps him on staff after so many complaints. UTMC you can do better than this guy.

Dr Kim totally dismissed my dad at his urology visit. Totally demeaning bedside manner. My dad said he wouldn’t go to him if he were the only doctor in town.

I had a lot of pertinent information to provide, and the resident was exhibiting a proper and much-appreciated bedside manner by listening to me, but then Dr. Kim cut us both off and rushed me out the door. At no point in time did I feel Dr. Kim was empathetic with the new and unusual urological issues I have been experiencing since last fall that lead to the referral. I felt very diminished and unvalued. I expect more from UT Medical specialists.

Dr Edward Kim genuinely cares for his patients best interests. He is very professional, knowledgeable and experienced. If you want a Doctor that will give you your best options and expertise call Dr Kim. His assistant Fredda is also very caring and well trained. I trust Dr Kim with my life literally.

I had kidney stones about 8-10 years ago and Dr. Kim took care of that issue for me. I have another kidney stone now and am going to him because of the service and professionalism he showed before. He is very knowledgeable and treated me well. I wouldn't want to go to anyone else for this type of treatment unless Dr. Kim just wasn't available. Very glad he is still practicing in the Knoxville area.

Absolutely worst doctor experience ever. Always students in room with Rr. Kim and he has no control and/or doesn't care how his students talk to you. It happened more than once. And Dr. Kim seems to have no concern or appears to have very little interest of listening to your consers . Would never recommend Dt. Kim office at University of Tennessee hospital Alcoa Hwy Knoxville Tennessee

I have never in my 68 years experienced the disrespect, abusive treatment and contempt for my well being as I have at University Urology particularly from the female staff.

Excellent physician, and very nice guy. He and office staff work efficiently. I appreciated not being asked the same questions by 3 different office staff like some practices do. He explained my condition well and provided me with the current important facts and statistics to think about when considering the different treatment options. Highly recommend.

Always rushed. Does not spend time with patients, pawns off patient care to residents, unfriendly and always more concerned about writing papers than taking care of his patients. Prostate cancer was missed because he did not do a physical exam for 3 years ( let the residents do it, and did not check for himself). Can't get him to answer questions and seems very unconcerned.

He lets residents or someone he is teaching procedures to, perform prostate exams on his patients and does not follow up with him doing the exam. A cancer was missed by him not doing the exam for the past 3 years. He always seems rushed, does not take time with you.

I have had the worst medical experience in my life with Dr. Kim. He violated my trust. Had no respect for me as a person or patient and caused me many months of discomfort.

This one star review is the reflective of Dr. Kim and not the entire University Urology Team as everyone, but him is pleasant. On my first visit with Dr. Kim he struck my wife and I as rude, however our research told us he was the best in the southeast United States for varicocele repair. After the first visit the procedure was scheduled and completed, he stated there would be mild/moderate pain/discomfort for approximately a week, but recovery was quick. This description of the procedure by Dr.

Very knowledgeable, professional since I have been seeing him my bladder cancer has not come back before Dr Kim my prior Doctor might have spent more time talking with me but the results were not there.

I accompanied my sister to her appointment, first time, referred by her urologist 2 hours away. NO bedside manner. Dr. Kim would hardly look at her, grilled her with questions, and seemed to get frustrated with her when she did not know the answers. He made her feel stupid. I work for an orthopedist so told her that it was just frustration because he needed information that she couldn't give, in order to give her the best treatment. In reality, his lack of care for her feeling was troubling

Hands down the worst Doctor I've ever been to. His staff seems nice enough, but he ignores the patient when in the room and is incredibly rude. The several times I saw him, he brought in a laptop and never even made eye contact with me. Just seemed like he wanted to get out of the room. I don't know if he's going for some too cool facade, but judging by the other reviews on here it's not working.

DO Not GO TO THIS MAN!!!!!!!!! I had to have a kidney removed because of him, He destroyed my kidney, The dr that ended up having to remove my kidney said he didn't see how he is still aloud to be having surgery on anyone,I live in pain every day because of this man not only did he destroy my kidneys he destroyed my daily living, So please, please don't see him, This man should not be doing surgery on anyone cause he doesn't know what he's doing and he doesn't care if he damages your body

Felt comfortable with the doctor and his surgical expertise. Nice man. Did not appreciate a resident assisting in my vasectomy without permission, though. Dr. Kim did one side and the resident did the other. The first snip didn't hurt at all, but the second one was so painful that I almost jumped off the table.

I would not recommend this man to anyone. He literally made jokes with a trainee about my condition while in my exam room.
