The only reason the wait time was so long was because the office was having a problem getting my referral but the doctor was definitely worth the wait! It's nice to have a doctor who actually cares about his patients and is willing to take his time explaining everything.

The doctor takes time to listen and has good bedside manner. Also explains the diagnosis and procedures. Also gave me options on how to deal with my issue. The office is very clean and calming. I don't mind the 30 min travel either.

WOW!!!! if you are looking for sharply knowledgeable, intelligent, great personal skills which will make you feel like you are at home, look no further. I REALLY MEAN IT. try this doctor and you will understand what i mean. i have never seen such a hospitality, and not just from doctor but from everyone and since i had pain almost everywhere, i felt very relaxed and at ease. I was placed on a very long lasting medication which all of the other doctors couldn't detect, but Dr.Kim on my first appointment gave me med for which i helps me greatly. The office is new and amazingly beautiful. I loved everything about my visit and there was nothing that i could not like. You don't believe me? well try it for yourself, you'll see what i mean.
