At Rhea Medical Center, cataract surgery is helping patients see life more clearly again — without the need to travel far from home. Board-certified ophthalmologist, Dr. John Kim, provides advanced surgical care with the comfort and convenience of a local hospital you can trust.

Meet John Kim, MD
“One of the greatest joys of being an ophthalmologist is seeing the impact cataract surgery has on people’s daily lives. I know that many patients in rural communities worry about having to travel long distances for specialized care. That’s why I feel so fortunate to offer this service right here at Rhea Medical Center.
Helping someone regain their ability to read, drive, or simply enjoy the faces of their loved ones again is incredibly rewarding. Every time a patient tells me how much brighter and sharper the world looks after surgery, it reminds me why I love what I do.
It’s an honor to bring this level of care to Rhea Medical Center, and to help restore not just vision, but independence and quality of life.”
