    I have seen Dr. Stephen Harper for one consultation and two procedures. He is very skilled (and…read morefast!) He has a wonderful manner about him and makes me laugh. A VERY good quality considering the delicate nature of his work! Highly recommend him and his practice.

    I strongly caution others against using this practice. In my experience, I was met with a lack of…read moreempathy, poor communication, and zero accountability following a serious surgery and its complications. I had a sigmoidectomy in 2021 and have continued to suffer significant consequences since then and am now disabled for the rest of my life. The surgeon who performed my procedure, Dr. Soo Kim, went on vacation the following day without informing me (I would have chosen another day if I had known), leaving me to be cared for by unfamiliar providers throughout my 12-day hospital stay. During that time, I developed a staph infection. One of her colleagues then reopened my abdominal incision and manually removed the infection with his fingers! Despite my asking for pain medication beforehand and requesting that he explain what he was doing so I could understand the process, neither request was honored. The experience was excruciatingly painful, frightening, and handled without the compassion or communication a patient deserves. A few weeks later, I developed C. diff due to the antibiotics for the staph infection and had to be rushed back to the hospital by ambulance. When I finally saw Dr. Soo Kim after her return from vacation, her response was dismissive: "Oh well, it was a dirty surgery." In the months that followed, I continued to experience extreme pain and difficulty with bowel function, yet I felt my concerns were minimized and ignored. She made me feel like it was all in my head and that I was fine. I left the practice and found another physician, who discovered a stricture caused from the original surgery. As a result of these complications, I ultimately required three more surgeries, an ileostomy bag, and removal of my rectum. To this day, I struggle with intense pain, spasms, and lower anterior resection syndrome, which has severely affected my quality of life. I also want prospective patients to know that this practice performs flexible sigmoidoscopies in the office without sedation, which I found to be barbaric. Based on my experience, I would urge others to seek care elsewhere if they have the option.
