About Dr Kim

Hailing from San Francisco, I grew up in the Bay Area and call it my home. Simply, I love the area, culture, weather, but most importantly the people. As a child I moved constantly, since my father was a missionary pastor, so I can easily state that I grew up living coast to coast but still nothing beats the Bay Area. I went to college at UC Irvine and graduated with a degree in Chemistry. Right after graduation I attended podiatry school at Samuel Merritt College. Everyone asks why I decided to go to medical school after podiatry school. Simple answer is I wanted more…more knowledge, more training, but mostly, I wanted to just be able to provide more for my patients. I attended Wayne State University for my medical degree and completed my orthopedic training at University of Washington. Going full circle, I decided to dedicate my subspecialty training towards foot & ankle surgery at Hospital for Special Surgery (ie, Cornell).

I aim to educate my patients in a safe environment while offering them necessary comprehensive care. I understand that many people have anxiety about orthopedic treatment, so I strive towards creating a friendly and collaborative environment and I ensure all my surgical patients have my personal cell phone and email to ensure they have access for emergencies. By combining the latest technology with evidence-based medicine, I aim to give my patients the best orthopedic care in the Bay Area.

I broke my foot in the beginning of September and after two months of misery discovered that it had not improved at all. I demanded a second opinion and ended up in the office of Paul Kim. Because Dr. Kim is a foot specialist in addition to being an orthopedic surgeon, he knew what to do immediately to fix the problem. I’m so grateful for his expertise. I highly recommend going to Dr. Kim FIRST!

I had pain in my left foot for 5 years and no one could find the problem until I went to see Dr. Paul Kim! Within two weeks we were in surgery! After surgery came physical therapy! I am on my way to a miraculous recovery! I am so indebted to Dr. Kim for his wonderful manner, expertise and professionalism! PS.. he wears the cutest bow ties! Thank you Dr. Kim! I am totally indebted to you for my recovery!! I am getting my life back!
