“My experience was wonderful! Walked in and immediately got taken back for my appointment, zero wait. I get super anxious at doctors, but Dr Kim has such a great demeanor and explained everything clearly to me. I felt very comfortable throughout the entire appointment, and he is definitely knowledgeable. I'm so happy that I went and I'm hopeful about my treatment plan he created.”

About Dr. Matthew Kim

Matthew Kim, MD, is a member of Summit Health's Ear, Nose & Throat (ENT) team. He earned his Bachelor's degree from Yale University and his Doctor of Medicine from Columbia University. Dr. Kim completed his internship in General Surgery and residency in Otolaryngology at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital / Weill Cornell Medical Center and Columbia University Irving Medical Center. Dr. Kim decided to pursue medicine in high school after unexpectedly losing his grandfather to a medical illness, inspiring him to make a positive impact in health care. He chose otolaryngology because it involves how we experience the world and interact through hearing, smell, taste, and communication via facial expression and speech. As an ENT, Dr. Kim specializes in treating nasal and sinus issues, including difficulty breathing through the nose, acute and chronic sinus infections, and nasal polyps and tumors. ?I also find it rewarding to collaborate with neurosurgeons to treat pituitary tumors and ophthalmologists for conditions involving the eyes and lacrimal (tear-duct) system,? he says. Dr. Kim's treatment philosophy centers on empowering patients to understand their medical condition and make informed choices to maintain health and wellness. He takes pride in helping patients understand their issues and working together as a team to resolve them. ?Trust is the most important thing in building a doctor-patient relationship,? says Dr. Kim. ?Open communication and honesty are key to successful outcomes.? He enjoys fostering long-term relationships and helping patients navigate uncertainty or medical difficulty. Outside of patient care, Dr. Kim loves traveling, outdoor barbeques, and anything related to coffee, especially mastering the art of espresso. He is excited to educate the community about nasal and sinus issues, from allergies to chronic sinusitis to nasal tumors and cancers.
