Great professional experience as always.
dr. Kim is an excellent surgeon. However, when you visit his office to use to get up onto the examination table. He wants to see you postop 10 days. Using a stepstool to get up onto an examination table 10 days post op, is precarious, and frankly a little frightening. They do make exam tables that go up and down with the push of a button. His practice needs to invest in those.
He offered assurance that my total knee replacement is ok and my questions regarding my hip were answered. He is always thoughtful & kind. Thank you, Dr. Kim. Paula Spengler
My first appointment with Dr. Kim was very informative and I look forward to having him as my primary care doctor.
Fit me in day I called. Kind and knowledgeable.
Dr Kim is the best. He really cares about his patients. I always feel like he will fix my health issues.
Excellent doctor! Very thorough, explains everything and does not rush the appointment..Excellent bedside manner. I have been a patient of Dr. Kim for over 20 years..
Met him for the time. I liked him enough to get further treatments. He is a professional, explained well what’s going on with my knee and I will have him perform surgery on my knee.
Great staff. Very professional and friendly.
Outstanding experience. He was very conscious of my concerns and answered all my questions.
