Joseph Kim, M.D., delivers patient-centered gastrointestinal care grounded in advanced training and compassionate listening, serving individuals across North Texas with particular focus on prevention, diagnosis, and minimally invasive treatment. As a board-certified gastroenterologist educated at Haverford College and Temple University School of Medicine, with residency at Temple University Hospital and fellowship at Beth Israel Medical Center followed by specialized therapeutic endoscopy mentorship under David Carr-Locke, MD, Dr. Kim offers a thoughtful, evidence-based approach to every visit. Preventive care is a cornerstone of his practice, including **sherman colon cancer screening** supported by comprehensive options such as the colonoscopy procedure to detect and remove precancerous polyps, as well as flexible sigmoidoscopy when a focused evaluation of the distal colon is appropriate. He performs upper endoscopy (EGD) to evaluate the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum for ulcers, inflammation, tumors, and celiac disease, with the ability to obtain biopsies when indicated. For small bowel assessment, capsule endoscopy helps uncover sources of obscure bleeding or Crohn’s disease. Dr. Kim also provides ERCP for disorders of the bile and pancreatic ducts. Patients seek his care for abdominal pain diagnosis, constipation treatment, diarrhea evaluation, irritable bowel syndrome treatment, and rectal bleeding assessment, with solutions tailored to the individual—ranging from lifestyle strategies and medications to endoscopic therapies. He offers hemorrhoid banding and broader hemorrhoid treatment options when chronic symptoms affect quality of life. Long-term digestive health is supported through acid reflux evaluation, Barrett’s esophagus monitoring, liver disease evaluation, and hepatitis screening and management. When unexplained weight loss raises concern, Dr. Kim conducts thorough evaluations that may include targeted labs and imaging to determine the cause. From initial consultation through follow-up, Dr. Kim emphasizes clear communication, timely access, and coordinated care so patients feel informed, safe, and supported at every step.
