Buffalo Hump Pain Gone!

I went to Dr. Kim for a painful buffalo hump on the back of my neck that was growing in size and causing a lot of pressure behind my head. I was referred to Dr. Kim by my pain management doctor for further evaluation. From start to finish, I could tell this was a very caring team of providers and nurses. All of my questions were answered prior to the surgery with my options and step by step what was to take place. The day of my surgery, nerves of course took over. I requested a very early surgery slot due to the fact that I live in the East Bay so it was a 6am. arrival. They were happy to accommodate. The pre-op nurse greeted me with much friendliness and was very thorough with her health questions for me so not to miss anything. Although, I did forget to bring my inhaler being asthmatic. Not to worry, they had asthma medications there also if needed. I spoke with the anesthesiologist prior to the surgery and he assured me that he would keep me comfortable. In a blink of an eye, I woke up pretty quickly a little too fast and started shaking. The super nice nurses held my hand as they gave me meds to help the shaking and asthma medication as it was hard to breathe. I had a bit of a rough recovery going home as I was nauseated and vomiting on the way home. All normal reactions post surgery.

Dr. Kim checked on me twice after the surgery due to the side effects I was experiencing post-surgery as well as the anesthesiologist. The compassion and care was well received at Dr. Kim's office. I would definitely go back to him for any other surgical needs that he could provide to me. I am very happy with the results I received. I feel a lot less pressure on my neck even though I am still very swollen. As the swelling goes down, I expect to feel much better and less pain in my neck area. Thank you, Dr. Kim and staff for taking such good care of me. Highly recommend.
