Dr Kim was courteous and took his time with the exam. He explained what he saw immediately. He was open to discussing my concerns or my need for further treatment. He communicates well with me. Explains terms I may not understand. Makes sure I understand whether the matter is major concern or minor concern. Very friendly and very capable. I am blessed to have him for my doctor.
