What a wonderful and pleasant visit. It's such a great feeling to finally go to a medical office and be greeted by a warm and caring staff. And thanks to checking in on line, I was seen by Dr. Kim in just 5min. after arriving. Way to go!

I am usually not fond of Dr. visits due to impersonal treatment and feeling that I was no more than a number on an assembly line. But, I must honestly say that my visit to Dr. Kim's office was very pleasant. Great reception, and a genuine hands on approach to analyze and treat symptoms. Thanks Dr. Kim.

Verified patient
Dr Kim was great. They probably were double booking patients due to an illness for another doctor because our wait time is usually not as bad as it was today. But we were happy with Dr Kim.
Verified patient
Excellent!

I am a continuing patient of Dr Kim. The entire office and medical staff are professional kind caring and appear very competent. Dr Kim is impressively professional, kind, caring and through. I will continue to see Dr Kim for any future ENT concerns I have and would highly recommend her to my loved ones and friends.
Verified patient
The visits are extremely quick. Probably 2 minutes long but I do think she does an adequate job. I don't like that she's typing while you talk.
Verified patient
Professional, answered all my questions.
Verified patient
Dr. Kim was very professional, capable and pleasant. She was able to accurately diagnose my daughter's condition and treat it right away. The only negative aspect was the extremely long wait time for our second visit and hopefully that was just a fluke.
Verified patient
She is very efficient and courteous
Verified patient
Dr Kim herself was very professional and I am glad I got to see her. But I waited over an hour to see her and when I went to make my next appt for 3 weeks, the earliest available was 4 weeks. So frustrating.
I felt like the appointment was very rushed.
Dr. Kim was great! I'm having issues with her office staff on the phone, though. An [soundings like] older woman who answered my call, does not know what an email address is. My first call, after I asked for an email address to send my sons school audiologist report to, she directed me to the website after I repeated myself to make sure she heard that I needed an email address. I went to the website - nothing. So I called back, went thru a few people - apparently they were trying to get me to the same lady, which I did NOT request, I JUST WANTED AN EMAIL ADDRESS, YOU HAVE ONE OR YOU DONT. This lady STILL gave me the wrong info. She said guilleromsocalearnosethroat.com...I said you need and @ sign, she still didn't get it and put me on hold for the -what seemed to be like - thousandth time...so I just hung up. When faced with a SIMPLE question, please either say we don't have an email or just give me a proper email address. I don't have time to wait while you are frazzled trying to find an email. :( My son has a follow up appointment today, let's hope it's better than the phone call...this is our second time here. Wish me luck! ;)
Verified patient
I appreciate her honesty and allowing me to see the results of my tests. She is professional and listens to what I have to say. She asked me if I had any questions. She takes the time to explain what needs to be done.
Verified patient
Dr. Kim was terse and thorough. She was able to run more diagnostics than our pediatrician and allowed time for me to ask questions. She also seemed to know a little more about pairing medications than I had heard before, so that was nice. She was not very warm to my daughter, but she wasn't cold-shouldered either - just doesn't seem that into babies.
Dr. Kim is professional and efficient and gentle with necessary procedures. She listens to her patients and provides information to assist with the healing process.
Verified patient
Professional and complete. Dr. Kim listens!
Verified patient
Very courteous and professional.
She is terrific and so is her staff? My only negative thought is I got there very early, I had a 2 o'clock appointment and they took somebody before me that also had a 2 o'clock appointment.
Verified patient
She was thorough and very professional loved her
