We have been going to Dr. Rhee for many years. He is extremely professional, kind and excellent doctor!
Today when we went to our appointment my husband when in the waiting room began to feel weak.
Dr. Rhee and his staff were very sensitive to his situation and showed compassion and helped my husband due to a health issue.
We just want to thank Dr. Rhee and his staff and let them know how much their kind words and actions meant to us.
At times we feel helpless in situations like this and believe we are blessed to be a patient of Dr. Rhee. We also want to recognize and thank the staff for their kindness and understanding also!
