Edsel Kim, MD
About Me
I aim to provide the very best medical and surgical care for my patients. This not only involves the technical aspects required for good outcomes in the operating room, but also taking the time to listen and understand their concerns in the office. This leads to personal, compassionate and efficient care through a team approach with both the physicians and staff.
Dr. Kim graduated from New York University School of Medicine. He completed his internship in general surgery and residency in Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery at the University of Michigan. He stayed on to complete a fellowship in facial plastics, reconstructive surgery, and anterior skull base surgery at the University of Michigan. He focuses on endoscopic sinus surgery, endoscopic skull base surgery, thyroid/parathyroid surgery, rhinology, and advanced skin cancer treatment and reconstruction at The Oregon Clinic Ear, Nose & Throat - West.
