Houston Hernia Center, led by Caroline Kim, MD, FACS, provides hernia evaluation and surgical treatment in Houston, Texas, and surrounding areas. Dr. Kim is a board-certified general surgeon whose training includes general surgery residency and a burn surgery fellowship, with prior service as a U.S. Army Medical Service Corps officer.

The practice treats several types of hernias, including inguinal, umbilical, epigastric, femoral, incisional, ventral, and recurrent hernias. Its services include robotic hernia surgery and repair techniques using mesh or, where appropriate, approaches without mesh. Many procedures are performed in outpatient facilities, allowing patients to return home the same day.

The center also offers information about treatment options, costs, animated procedures, and patient experiences. It reports conducting FDA- and IRB-approved clinical studies for which eligible hernia repair expenses are covered, and provides 0% financing for patients without insurance. Located on Greenhouse Road, the clinic schedules appointments by phone and serves local, national, and international patients.
