Patient Reviews
Jun 17, 2019
Dr Lim is a compassionate brilliant surgeon that gave me my life back. I suffered from trigeminal neuralgia and could not find a drug that would help my pain. The side affects of the drugs prohibited me from taking them. I had double vision, liver damage, and stomach cramping to name a few.. Dr. Lim saw the problem on my MRI and told me he could help me. I broke into tears. I was extreme Depressed and felt like my life was slipping away with the pain I was experiencing. Dr Lim gave me hope. I had micro vascular decompression surgery on April 3, 2019 and on June 10, 2019 I was playing on the beach with my grandchildren pain free. I thank God and Dr. Lim for my life back. Dr. Lim is a wonderful, patient, highly skilled surgeon. Kendall Sharpe
