We were treated with the utmost respect and they were very thorough with information that was provided for the prescribed medication.
I will definitely be going back. The reception was very friendly and they saw me almost right away. I wasn't left waiting long once I got to the back. My X-rays were analyzed quickly and the doctor came right in. I was never left waiting long at all. They were all so kind. Office clean. When it came time for me to get my cortisone shot, the doctor even asked me if I wanted the medical assistant to hold my hand through the procedure. Of course I said no, but just the fact that she offered so that I would be comforted......5 stars easy!!
Verified patient
Great experience with Dr Kim and her assistant, Naloni. The only staff member that didn't wow me was the young lady at the front desk that checked me in and took my payment. Her attitude was not very friendly at all.

Verified patient
I ended up seeing Dr. Bergstrom because of a last minute reschedule, and she was fantastic. Great, clean office space, and all staff were very friendly. The doctor’s visit itself was efficient but not rushed. I left feeling better that day with a clear follow up plan for the long term. I would highly recommend this practice to anyone.
Clean office and very kind doctor.

The office was great! Friendly and welcoming staff, was seen about 15 minutes after I checked in. The girl that saw me first was very nice, she informed me about insurance stuff and told me the doctor would be in shortly. Dr. Kim was so nice, very personable and respectful. She helped me with my injury short term and gave me all the details about the next week leading up to my second appointment. The whole experience was really good and I feel at ease about my upcoming procedure. I definitely recommend this place to anyone who needs it.

Doctor was great. Very informative.
Verified patient
I was anxious , cause I had a bad experience with a podiatrist before Dr Kim was patient, calming , made it a great experience. I had no pain, I would differently tell everyone how great she was.

I "sprained" my ankle just over two weeks ago I went to the ER and later urgent care and had x-rays at both, but it wasn't until I saw Dr. Kim that the fracture was found. She made me feel heard and validated.
Verified patient
Great experience! Nice, clean office. Friendly doctor and staff. Medical assistant might’ve been new and she could’ve been a bit more knowledgeable but overall, I’ll return again.
Excellent from beginning to end!
Verified patient
i am so excited to have located Dr Jihae Kim, DPM, not only was she very kind. She was efficient and listened to my concerns and offered viable options for treatment. The staff was very friendly. Little waiting time and the playlist in the office was a complete VYBE. I will retur and am sharing her details with my friends and family who need a GREAT PODIATRIST.
Verified patient
My ingrown toenail was hurting me so much that I went to see Dr. Kim. She took out the part that was ingrown with ease and she used a chemical to make sure that it doesn’t grow back. It was very quick and pain-free. Now it doesn’t hurt at all. I was so glad I went to see her.
Dr. Kim took care of my peroneal tendonitis that has been painful for many many years. She gave me few options but I ended up doing the laser. It doesn’t hurt at all and I had no down time. As a teacher, I am on my feet all the time so I appreciated that.
Dr. Kim was very thorough with the explanations and treatment plans. I felt like she really understood my situation and tried to accommodate the treatment plan as much as possible. I really appreciated her taking her time with me.
Dr. Kim was very professional and knowledgeable. The warts on my feet have been bothering me for years and nothing was working. She recommended the SWIFT treatment and after a few treatments, I can barely see it. I am so happy I went with Dr. Kim.
I was seen right away for my ankle arthritis by Dr. Kim. She was very friendly and knowledgeable. I have been to multiple doctors already for this and Dr. Kim was very detailed in her explanation. I recommend her to anyone who needs a podiatrist.
I was in so much pain when I went into the clinic to see Dr. Kim. She immediately realized that I had broken my toe and treated me accordingly. She told me what the treatment plan was and what was expected throughout the course of the treatment. I would recommend her to anyone!
The doctor was very informative and competent. She knew exactly what was wrong with my foot and what to do to make me feel better.
I felt like Dr. Kim had the best interest in my recovery. She was very attentive and patient with all of my questions. Even what I thought was a possibly a stupid question, she explained it very thoroughly without judgements.
