Liked his personality, easy to talk to. Reviewed my records before he saw me. Spent a good amount of time with me. Only complaint was the front office staff. I arrived an hour early, unbeknownst to me. The person who checked me in did not say anything to me about it. I waited a half an hour and then went up to the counter. I was then told that I had checked in an hour early. I thought that was inconsiderate of the person that checked me in.

Dr Lim has the most wonderful personality…so important for patients like me who need to see a rheumatologist frequently per year.

Dr Lim is the only doctor I've ever seen that will actually ask how you're feeling & follow up by asking you to share anything that happened that was fun & made you happy & he listens. This is aside from health questions, he's my favorite doctor. Most of the time doctors are rushed.

Dr. Lim is great at what he does, I just don’t feel like he listens to me. I ask questions and I feel like he usually brushes me off. He’s not rude or anything, but often I feel like he’s just going through the motions, but not truly hearing (or caring) about what I’m saying,
