I saw Dr. Thomas Kim for post surgery follow up care. I felt like I was really heard & received the best care!

This is a repeat of a review I just put on Google (for those looking at both sources): I was…read morereferred to Dr. Alfrey for surgery recently (March 2026). The preop appointment was fine and answered my questions around what the procedure would consist of. My day at Marin Health started well with great preop care by the nursing team. I think the surgery went well, though I had to deduce this on my own as everything after the surgery, in terms of communication by the surgeon, his care team, or the Marin Health staff was inconsistent or absent. This includes no post op conversation with anyone at all, no response to any MyChart messages asking if the surgery went well and if the tumor was removed as expected, and no wound check until 12 days postop - which is surprising given the size of the incision, surgical staples and tension sutures that were utilized. I was unable to reach the surgeon or his staff when the wound site worsened at day 6, and when I finally did reach them (after repeated calls that were not returned), they simply said "Go to the ER if you are concerned." I did that, and the ER staff were great - and also surprised to see that there had been no wound check scheduled. It turned out the wound needed additional care and they provided it. When I saw Dr. Alfrey at the 12 day mark, he shared no information about my surgery, seemed completely disassociated from my actually being present in the exam room (he was teaching a PA), and was monosyllabic in answer to my questions. I hear he is good technically in surgery, so that's something. His patient communication skills are subpar and in no way could I recommend him to anyone I care about. I truly hope this is an outlier experience. I have been a long time supporter of Marin Health but will do a good bit more research before scheduling with them for anything future - it's not worth it to risk that kind of experience. My letter last week to the hospital leadership about the above went unanswered, which leads me to posting this review online so that others are aware.

Dr. Alfrey was my doctor when I was admitted into the hospital at Marin General. He was arrogant,…read moreunkind, he dismissed my pain and he misdiagnosed me. I had just undergone a massive surgery that I had to fly to Atlanta for. It took a team of very specialized surgeons to do the procedure. I believe because Dr. Alfrey wasn't the surgeon who did the procedure, he was annoyed to be dealing with me. It turns out I had a post surgery infection but instead of putting me on antibiotics, he sent me home and a week later I went septic. While I was under his care in the hospital he was incredibly rude, condescending and dismissive. My surgery was extensive and complicated, yet Dr. Alfrey refused to read my medical reports even when I directly asked him to. Instead, without telling me, he took me all off all pain medicine only days after this extensive surgery. The entire nursing team and others were alarmed. They helped me request a transfer to another doctor. It was only at this point that Dr. Alfrey finally decided to read my medical history. He then sent me home and told me I was fine, when actually I had a serious infection. I ended up back in the hospital with even more serious complications. At that point I was septic, and spent another 2 weeks in the hospital and a month of home-care to fix the damage caused from dismissing me the first time I came in. If you find yourself assigned to Dr. Alfrey, it's so important to know that his arrogance and callousness is an open secret. **All** of my nurses in the hospital shared with me that he has a reputation for being difficult and uncaring with patients. They also mentioned he has a reputation for his patients getting post-surgery infections! Given his very senior position in the hospital, he must have some special surgical skills. But if you find yourself dealing with Dr. Alfrey, I think the question to ask is, --is he actually genuinely interested in your case? He's probably not going to care about you in a human way. And if he decides you aren't interesting (or if you are a woman and he decides you're hysterical), I believe you may get dangerously, dangerously bad care. Given my experience, I would run. It was very scary. I will never forget the terrifying feeling of being trapped under his care. I have never experienced anything like it and I've dealt with many doctors over the years given my condition.
