I have not had any experience with either doctor. However, I did have experience with the previous TOS team at Johns H. and it was not good.

I was attracted to Johns H because of the excellent reputation of the previous TOS team leader. However, she switched me to one of her proteges. I was assured that the TOS leader would be there to monitor the surgery, but that was not the case. I and at least two other patients of the protege had serious complications. If you decide to go with Johns H, be sure that Dr. Kim (and not some protege) will do the actual surgery.

In addition to my issues with my TOS surgery at JHU, the preop and postop care at Johns H was bad. Filthy conditions, wrong medication, etc.

Be aware that if you do have any complications with Johns H surgery, getting help from other medical providers will be challenging. Because of Johns H's reputation, other providers will be reluctant to get involved.

Good luck.
