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 gives me more information than any of my other doctors/specialists.
Always so kind and caring. If you have problems he is ready to help. We old people all have problems.

He was amazing! I’ve never had a doctor ask me about the doctors I’ve seen previously and be willing to communicate with them. He had definitely done his homework prior to our appointment.
