Dr.Yim has always been kind
Dianne — May 23, 2024
May 14, 2023
My husband had a large brain tumor, and we talked to 4 different neurosurgeons prior to choosing Dr. Benjamin Yim. Dr. Yim is a neurosurgeon as well as a vascular surgeon, and he performed a procedure called embolization the day prior to scheduled brain surgery, to cut off blood supply to the tumor which in effect softens it and allows for faster removal with less bleeding. The surgery went well, and my husband is improving daily. Dr. Yim explained everything thoroughly, answered all questions, was responsive, and made this harrowing experience as easy as possible. I thoroughly recommend Dr. Yim if neurosurgery is required.
