About Anthony W. Kim, MD

Dr. Kim, an internationally recognized thoracic surgeon and surgical teacher, leads the thoracic surgery division and program, providing excellence in designing thoracic courses, case studies, and research projects. His area of expertise is thoracic oncology with a focus on minimally invasive thoracic surgery, including both thoracoscopic and robotic platforms.

He has served on committees in several international organizations, including the American Association for Thoracic Surgery, Society of Thoracic Surgeons, American College of Surgeons, American College of Chest Physicians, Society of University Surgeons, and the Association for Academic Surgery.

Dr. Kim is a superb teacher, having been recognized with several honors and awards, including the Francis Gilman Blake Award for Outstanding Teaching of the Medical Sciences at Yale University School of Medicine. As with all our surgical faculty, Dr. Kim carries on the tradition of providing beyond exceptional surgical education, care, and scholarship to students, patients, and medical sciences.

I believe that specializing gives my patients the benefit of true expertise. I'm willing to design a bold program of care to make sure my patients have the best long-term options.

Good

The detailed explanation of the test results and the decision were very helpful

Dr. Kim is a very good lung surgeon. I just heard Kaiser was not able to perform a scheduled lung cancer surgery for my friend after entering the thoracic cavity with minimal invasive procedure, then close up and wait for another method of treatment. I think other local surgeons can learn from Dr. Kim with very carefully designed and executed CT scans to assist decision making before starting a surgery.
