When you meet Dr. Richard Kim, you can't help but pick up on the laid-back vibe that reveals his West Coast upbringing. At the same time, his keen interest in helping you return to your active lifestyle is certain to reveal his sharp, inquisitive approach to medicine. Dr. Kim calls upon a rare combination of clinical training and research experience to diagnose your musculoskeletal problems and develop a unique treatment plan.
The most common questions we're asked are often related to our advanced regenerative procedures, including noninvasive stem cell therapies and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections. Here, we've provided answers to a number of those questions. Both of these therapies have been known and used for years; they are not new to the medical field.
Richard Kim Medicine understands that protected health information about you and your health is personal. We are committed to protecting health information about you. This Notice applies to all the records of your care generated by Richard Kim Medicine, whether made by our personnel or other health care provider.
We believe that starting with the least invasive therapy for any disease or condition, before progressing toward more drastic procedures, is a fundamental part of practicing medicine. That's why Dr. Kim begins with a thorough diagnosis and the most conservative options for care.
When your musculoskeletal condition calls for a more robust intervention, the body itself often provides the best raw materials in the form of bone marrow aspirate, lipoaspirate and the platelet-rich plasma (PRP) available from your own blood.The first step in treatment is to meet with Dr. Kim for a consultation, either in person or using Skype or similar technology.

Long gone are the days when surgery was the last, best hope for musculoskeletal injuries and degenerative disorders. Thanks to advancements in regenerative medicine, Dr. Kim is able to address many problems affecting the bones, joints, ligaments, muscles, nerves and tendons without surgery.
In addition to massage and physical therapy, braces, rest protocols and medications, Dr. Kim offers convenient, advanced therapies including stem cell and platelet-rich plasma injections.These therapies facilitate the growth of new tissue to replace what's been injured or worn away. They may improve mobility and reduce pain in people who have suffered with acute pain from an injury or chronic pain from arthritis or a related condition.

I got to tell you. I was sceptical at first and thought it would be better to get a knee replacement but I’m glad I chose the stem cell treatment with Dr. Kim!
At my age of 55 I didn’t think I would recover! I had arthritis and a prior injury to my knee, but with this therapy I’ve gotten most of my movement back and I am able to enjoy the start of my retirement
I’d like to thank Dr Kim for his expertise and the staff for their kindness and patience with me ! Great team!
Would highly recommend Richard Kim for any pain management issues! Sometimes you have to weigh the options and do what’s

Dr. Kim is amazing. He diagnosed an infection that other doctors wrote off as a pulled muscle. If it wasn't for Dr. Kim, my boyfriend would have lost his leg at best and he could have died. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND going to Dr. Kim!! When he says it'll change your life, he's absolutely correct! Thank you Dr. Kim!!

I came to Richard Kim for elbow issues. I did the PRP procedure. The procedure wasn't successful, but the issue I had had to do with payment and office procedures I rec'd from Richard Kim, MD. Kim charges $50 NOSHOW Fee for a missed appt. In fact, in my case, the office supposedly called to 'remind' me of any appointment. They did not call my cell phone -- and since I was away -- any message on a land line was not rec'd. On top of that, I went to his office for the makeup appt two days later and the OFFICE staff stated I had to pay for the missed appt. I explained the above -- the office stated

Dr. Kim is the best doctor I have ever been treated by! I was impressed in my consultation by how thorough Dr. Kim was in evaluating my knees and then explaining the stem cell therapy process. Dr. Kim is a truly caring and compassionate doctor. His treatment plan addresses all of the aspects of your health and wellness. The series of stem cell treatments has been successful and I am able to walk without pain. I can't thank Dr. Kim enough for his knowledge and skill, and for the difference his care has made in my quality of life!

Dr. Kim is a great listener and delves into the root cause(s) of a problem, which is saying a lot because sometimes health issues are more complicated and require testing possible hypotheses and narrowing things down. He has keen clinical judgement. Also, he has a unique understanding regarding how nerves interplay with other parts of your anatomy (plus intervention skills). He does not shy away from difficult cases. He gives patients his dedicated focus, time, and expertise. And, he is a straight shooter. He treats you respectfully. He will do all he can to improve your situation. You owe it to

Dr. Kim and his staff are amazing! After visiting an orthopedic surgeon who was not interested in me because I didn’t need total knee replacements, I was frustrated because I had pain in my knees and wanted to know why and what could be done and I had no answers. I’m so happy I found Dr. Kim! I experienced improvement after stem cell therapy but there was still an area that continued to cause discomfort. Dr. Kim was not happy until he found the problem and then he fixed it! I can now climb stairs pain free and it’s been years since I could do that! I am 70 years old and look forward to skiing

Dr. Kim and his staff are what you would like every medical practitioner or staff to be. They are a group of great people all focused on what's best for the patients. They are exceptional at explaining the entire process, how it's going to help you and what to expect through the entire experience with them. They truly care about helping people live a better, more active life with as little pain as possible. Dr. Kim works as a team not just with his staff, but with other partners in nutrition, sports psychology and physical therapy as a group to get people the best possible outcome. No matter what

For me, Dr Kim and his staff set a hopeful vibe the moment I stepped in to the office. I was anxious to see if Dr. Kim, who came highly recommended, could help me and my 25+ year old sports injury. Over the past 9 months, Dr Kim helped create a healthy environment for my knee. He explained the semi-zealous journey as we continued through my stem cell therapy. Dr Kim's current on the latest studies, which alleviated much of my questions and anxiety during this journey. Each visit, no matter the intensity of the visit, Dr Kim and his staff were calm, patient, and had the greatest sense of humor.
