Dr. Kim is a great physician. Unfortunately, the Medical Group has never been able to be a well organized office in terms of seeing patients close to their scheduled appointment time unless you are the first patient scheduled in the morning or afternoon. I have been coming to this practice since the mid 70’s when saw Dr.Foster. In fact my actually appointment for my annual exam was two weeks before this recent appointment . After waiting 45 minutes after my schedule appointment time. I had to leave and reschedule.
Mar-2024
Waited nearly an hour for the Dr after seated in the exam room
Mar-2024
Everything went well
Mar-2024
