About Me

Dr. Kim is a fellowship-trained vitreoretinal specialist and board-certified ophthalmologist. He cares for the full spectrum of retina conditions, including macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, retinal tears and detachments, macular holes and epiretinal membranes, as well as vein and artery occlusions. In the clinic he uses advanced imaging—such as OCT and fluorescein angiography—to make precise diagnoses, and offers evidence-based treatments including laser procedures and in-office injections when appropriate.After earning his medical degree from the University of Vermont, Dr. Kim completed ophthalmology residency at Henry Ford Health in Detroit, followed by additional vitreoretinal surgery training at the West Virginia University Eye Institute. Patients describe his manner as calm, thorough, and easy to understand. He takes time to outline each diagnosis, discuss risks and benefits of treatment, and coordinate closely with primary-care and endocrine teams for conditions like diabetes. Dr. Kim’s goal is straightforward: protect sight, minimize treatment burden, and help each patient return to the activities they value most.
