I have been coming to Eye Health NW for over 10 years now and recently came back in hopes of getting Lasik Eye Surgery. Before my appointment, I spoke on the phone with Aimee who was very helpful in explaining the options for laser vision correction. After some testing and consultations with Dr. Kim I found out I was eligible for Lasik and everyone helped me to get my procedure scheduled quickly. The procedure itself was quick and easy. Dr. Kim took excellent care of me during my follow-up visits and after 10 days my vision had already improved to 20/15! I could not be more thrilled with my procedure and the entire staff at the SE Clinic and Eastside Surgery Center. I highly recommend.- Yelp Review
Your only regret will be not having it done LASIK sooner. Dr. Kim and his entire staff are awesome. I was terrified of the surgery part but it was really quick and they did everything to make sure I knew what to expect and to assure me it would all be ok. I love my new vision!- Yelp Review
I went to Dr Kim after getting a eye exam to get new glasses and they said my eye pressure was high. Turned out they were right , pressure was over 40 and should be in the teens. After taking pictures of inside my eyes it turns out I have Claucoma. Luckly it was caught early and I don't have much damage. As we were trying to find the correct eye drops to bring down the pressure , I was laid off and lost my insurance. And to make matters worse I was having bad reactions (eyes swelling closed/dry eyes) to the drops. Doctor Kim keep seeing me at no charge as we looked for a combination of eye drops that would work for me. These drops are expensive and I could not see him and pay for the drops, so not only did he not charge me, he help find progams that help reduce the prices of the drops. This man cares (rare in todays world). He also did my cataract surgery and explained it very well so I understood what was wrong and what was going to happen. I felt very comfortable going into surgery. After wearing glasses for 50yrs I can now walk in the rain without having to look at the ground to try to keep my glasses dry and my night vision is back. If not for Dr. Kims "bed side manner" and how he explains things, I would not have had the surgery and would still be wearing glasses and would not be able to drive at night. I never met a doctor who cares about people as much as Shane Kim.- Vitals Review
After 40 years of glasses, and having a very difficult eyes to fit with trifocal glasses and not being able to ware contacts, I am now glasses free! Dr. Kim explained to me explained to me about a great new concept of replacing the lenses in my eyes. I had bad cataracts and astigmatism. By replacing my lenses with the new Toric lens I would be able to see instantly. And he was right! While I do need glasses for very small print or items, I can read the news paper without glasses. I also see much clearer at night when driving. I give him 5 star rating! - Vitals Review
I am not sure just what was going on with the rant of the first review. I found Dr Kim to be exceptionally professional, friendly and willing to listen to all my concerns. I have a history of a retinal tear which was treated successfully but which did leave some residual macular problems. Dr Kim discussed my visual potential at length prior to my cataract surgery. I never felt rushed. He answered all my questions, outlining both the advantages as well as the disadvantages of surgery. He never promised me 20/20 vision, and I would rather doubt that he promises that to any of his patients. Dr Kim did cataract surgery on both of my eyes and the results were excellent. My vision is very good despite the retinal issues that I already had before ever meeting him. I found the entire process to be very upfront and straightforward. The services that he provide were above reproach. I would highly recommend this doctor to anyone.- Vitals Review
Two years ago I saw Dr. Kim about Lasik surgery. He walked me through the whole pros and cons. As it turned out because my corneas were thinner than normal, he recommended PRK over Lasik just because it was safer. The recovery time was longer and more painful, but I would do it again in a heartbeat. There were many things I appreciated about Dr. Kim, but I am the most appreciative that after two years he is willing to do an enhancement to my original PRK surgery at NO COST. How many doctor's would do that? Usually you are only guaranteed a year. Dr. Kim told me yesterday when I saw him that "hey, I'm not going anywhere and if any of my patience need enhancements I'm going to take care of them, even if it's 5 years later." I should also add that when I originally began to look into Lasik surgery I had gone to a clinic over in Tigard. They ran me through all the tests and never said one thing about my corneas being borderline too thin for the Lasik surgery. They had me all signed up for the Lasik surgery when I decided to get a second opinion. And boy am I glad I did. You only have one set of eyes in your lifetime, and I was willing to pay a little more to have the surgery done by a doctor like Dr. Kim that chose to explain why he wouldn't do Lasik surgery on me. My husband had Dr. Kim perform Lasik surgery for him this past month. He is very happy to be without glasses and his recovery was very speedy! As far as the staff goes, everyone was, and has been totally professional and helpful. Couldn't ask for better service anywhere.- Yelp Review
