Tae (David) Kim, MD, is a UW Health surgeon who specializes in colorectal surgery. Dr. Kim diagnoses and treats a broad spectrum of diseases that affect the colon, the rectum and the anus. He cares for patients with benign (noncancerous) and malignant (cancerous) diseases. Dr. Kim treats colon and rectal cancer, anal cancer, and digestive diseases such as diverticulitis (colon inflammation), Crohn's disease (digestive tract inflammation) and ulcerative colitis (ulcers or sores in the bowel). Dr. Kim also performs surgical procedures to repair anal fistulas (abnormal tunnels between the anus and the outer skin), hemorrhoids, fissures (small tears in the anal skin), rectal prolapse (when the rectum starts to push through the anus) and other abnormalities in or around the anus and rectum. After listening to his patients’ concerns and goals, Dr. Kim educates them about their conditions and treatment options. His care philosophy focuses on ensuring that patients understand and are actively involved in decisions about their care. He offers personalized recommendations and guidance, working with patients and medical specialists as a team. I encourage my patients to stay actively involved in their care and the decision-making process so we can decide on a treatment path together.
