Dr. Moses Kim, M.D., Ph.D. Receives ‘Physician of Excellence’ Award in SP Robotic Surgery from Surgical Review Corporation

Dr. Moses Kim, M.D., Ph.D. Receives ‘Physician of Excellence’ Award in SP Robotic Surgery from Surgical Review Corporation LAGUNA HILLS, Calif. / Nov. 24, 2021 – Moses Kim, M.D., Ph.D., urologic and robotic surgeon-oncologist and Chief Executive Officer of Orange County Urology Associates (OCUA), has received a trio of distinctions for his leadership in single-port (SP) robotic surgery in Southern California.

First, Dr. Kim was awarded a ‘Physician of Excellence’ distinction from Surgical Review Corporation for his body of work advancing single-port robotic surgery. He has now performed more than 100 single-port da Vinci® robot procedures and has trained dozens of surgeons.
Dr. Kim also secured a ‘Center of Excellence in Robotic Surgery’ (COERS) / ‘Master Surgeon’ accreditation for his clinical programs at Hoag Hospital in Newport Beach and Irvine, and at Orange County Urology Associates (OCUA).

Third, Dr. Kim was awarded a ‘Single-Port Robotic Surgery Training Epicenter’ distinction from Intuitive Surgical for training many surgeons on the value of the technology and surgical instruction.

“We are an epicenter for single-port training, helping other surgeons from world-class organizations learn about SP robotics,” Dr. Kim said. Here are some examples:

Dr. Kim was one of four robotic surgeons nationally featured in a summer-long series of SP Roundtable presentations with other national leading SP surgeons. The series was featured on The Urology Channel.
Surgeons from USC and Scripps visited Dr. Kim to learn about SP robotics.
Dr. Kim gave a presentation on single-port da Vinci® robotics to surgeons at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles in June, 2021.
Dr. Kim has been invited to speak at the World Congress of Endourology in Germany.

“The Master Surgeon/COERS accreditation means that I belong to a group of vetted surgeons who have all undergone a standardized review system that ensure we are all up-to-date and offering only the safest robotic procedures,” Dr. Kim said.

On Feb. 27, 2020, Dr. Kim became the first oncologist-urologic-robotic surgeon in Southern California to use the da Vinci® SP technique for removing a cancerous prostate (prostatectomy) at Hoag Hospital Irvine. This is a technology that few hospitals have yet acquired.

Testimonials

“The office, staff and doctors are absolutely wonderful. They are very caring. The staff makes you feel very comfortable and they are very helpful. Dr. Spitz is a great doctor. It’s a great group.”

“Not only was O.C. Urology professional, they went out of their way to make sure I had a good reaction when taking care of my problem. They gave great care and followed up when necessary.”

“This is my first visit to this office. The staff and employees are friendly and accommodating. My first visit I felt so relaxed, because of the friendly environment. Dr. Tebyani was so friendly and honest. He would advise patients on only what is necessary. He is more after the well-being of the patient instead of their wallet. I would definitely recommend this office to anyone who needs medical help. Thanks.”
