Dr. Kim's new, modern and tranquil office and procedure suite is located in the beautiful Diplomate Centre building, conveniently located between Grand Central Station and the United Nations.
Dr. Kim was thorough, patient, kind and knowlegeable.
I thought Dr. Kim was very professional, caring, thorough and informative about my condition. He wrote things out for me so that I would remember some of the things that was discussed. He made my first visit a pleasant one. I will definitely keep him on my top list of doctors.
I was running late and the office was still able to accommodate me. Dr. Kim addressed my main issue along with asking about overall health and recommending follow up based on his assessment, including further testing with him, a recommendation for pt, and a recommendation to see another doctor of a different speciality to pursue other issues and further testing. I felt as though he was looking at me as a whole instead of just his speciality. Often, when I visit a specialist, I feel as though they only look at one area, but with Dr. Kim I did not get that feeling. I highly recommend him, especially if you are unsure of the cause of your injury/pain.
