    Dr. Sunghoon Kim is a surgeon who cares for both adults and children. He specializes in repairing chest wall malformations, such as pectus excavatum (in which the breastbone sinks inward) and pectus carinatum (in which the breastbone protrudes outward), as well as in treating slipping rib syndrome (when cartilage on the lower ribs moves abnormally, causing pain). With expertise in surgically treating palmar and plantar hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating on the palms of the hands and soles of the feet), he is one of just a few surgeons in the world to offer T3 endoscopic thoracic ganglionectomy, a minimally invasive procedure to treat hyperhidrosis with minimal to no compensatory sweating. Kim's research focuses on developing devices to treat a range of medical and surgical conditions, including pectus excavatum and carinatum, stomal prolapse (when bowel protrudes through a surgically created opening in the skin) and hydrocephalus (abnormal buildup of cerebrospinal fluid in brain cavities). Kim earned his medical degree at the University of Michigan Medical School and completed a residency in surgery at UCSF. He completed a fellowship in pediatric surgery at St. Louis Children's Hospital, an affiliate of Washington University in St. Louis. He also has a master's degree in molecular biology from the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston and a master's degree in chemistry from the University of California, Berkeley.

    What is the definition of Pectus Excavatum?

    Pectus excavatum is a medical term that describes an abnormal formation of the rib cage that gives the chest a caved-in or sunken appearance.

    When should I see a Pectus Excavatum doctor near Oakland, CA?

    There are various reasons why you may want to see a specialist, such as: 

    • Your primary care provider recommends it. 
    • Your condition requires expert knowledge and specialized care. 
    • Your symptoms persist or worsen despite treatment. 
    • You need specialized testing or procedures. 
    • You want a second opinion.  

    What should I consider when choosing a Pectus Excavatum doctor near Oakland, CA?

    It’s important to see a provider with expertise in your specific condition. Each provider profile in MediFind’s doctor database includes information on which conditions they treat, years of experience, research contributions, languages spoken, insurance plans accepted, and more.  

    How does MediFind rank Pectus Excavatum doctors near Oakland, CA?

    MediFind’s rankings are based on a variety of data sources, such as the number of articles a doctor has published in medical journals, participation in clinical trials and industry conferences, as well as the number of patients that provider sees for a given condition. Note that MediFind’s provider database is not based on user reviews, and providers do not pay to be included in the database. 

    What types of insurance are accepted by Pectus Excavatum doctors near Oakland, CA?

    Most profiles in MediFind’s doctor database include a list of insurance plans accepted by that provider. However, it’s a good idea to contact the provider’s office to make sure they still accept your insurance, then doublecheck by contacting your insurance plan to confirm they’re in network. 

    How can I book an appointment online with a Pectus Excavatum doctor near Oakland, CA?

    MediFind offers direct scheduling for certain providers using the “Request Appointment” button on that provider’s profile. If the schedule option is not available for a provider, tap the red “Show Phone Number” button on their profile to get their contact information. If you prefer to find providers who offer online scheduling, select “Schedules online” under the “Availability” category of the filter feature on the left side of the Pectus Excavatum doctor search results page. 

    Why is it important to get a second opinion from a different Pectus Excavatum doctor?

    Second opinions are an opportunity to confirm a diagnosis and its root cause, learn about alternative treatment options, or simply gain peace of mind. Many people, especially those with serious diagnoses, get second opinions so they can understand all their options and make informed decisions, so don’t hesitate to get one if you have any doubts or need more information or clarification regarding your care. Note that some insurance plans require second opinions, while others don’t cover second opinions, so be sure to confirm with your insurance provider first.   

    How can I prepare for my appointment with a Pectus Excavatum doctor near Oakland, CA?

    Prepare for your appointment by gathering the following items: 

    • Copies of medical records (dating back at least one year) 
    • Your medical history, including illnesses, medical conditions, surgeries, and other doctors you see 
    • Family history of disease 
    • List of current prescription drugs, over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal remedies or supplements including names and doses 
    • Allergies to medications, food, latex, insects, etc.  
    • List of questions and concerns 
    • Your insurance card 

    You might also contact the provider’s office to see if they offer transportation or childcare services or if you’re allowed to bring a loved one for support or to take notes during your visit. 

    What questions should I ask my Pectus Excavatum doctor?

    Here are some sample questions: 

    • Can you explain in simple terms what this condition is and how it’s treated? 
    • What symptoms or side effects should I watch for? 
    • What tests will be involved, and when can I expect results? 
    • Are there other specialists I need to see? 
    • What’s the best way to reach you if I have follow-up questions? 

    How can I learn about the latest clinical trials and research advances my Pectus Excavatum doctor may know about?

    MediFind’s Clinical Trials tool asks you a series of questions to help you narrow down your search by health condition, age, gender, location, how far you’re willing to travel, and more. Each question you answer filters down the number of trials until you find the ones that are most relevant to you. 

    MediFind’s Latest Advances tool features summaries of recent articles published in medical journals. We use cutting-edge technology to scour medical publication databases for the latest research advancements on any given condition, then we simplify this information in a way that’s useful and easy to understand. 

    Can I filter my search to show male or female Pectus Excavatum doctors near Oakland, CA?

    Look for the filter feature on the left side of the Pectus Excavatum doctor search results page. Select “Female” or “Male” under the “Gender” category to search for female or male providers exclusively. If the “Any” option is selected, it will pull results for both male and female providers. 

    Can I filter my search to find a Pectus Excavatum doctor that offers video calls?

    Look for the filter feature on the left-side of the Pectus Excavatum doctor search results page. Select “Offers telehealth visits” under the Availability category to search for providers who offer virtual appointments (video calls).
