Dr Kim is the best. He has always been very concerned with my issues.

I'm not sure what the problem was this time. Typically Dr. Kim is amazing and very thorough and his explanations, but he just seemed distracted and in a hurry this time. I left with questions unanswered and feeling very unsettled and disappointed. My confidence has declined a little bit, but I know everyone has hurried and bad days, so I am definitely not going to look for another provider Because most of the time that I've seen him he has been wonderful.

Good explanation of tapering off eye drops. Wish we could figure out why I have double vision in one eye.
