Dr is always rushed and in a hurry. Never time for conversation or questions and follow up questions to what he says. Forget most stuff want to ask cause he so fast and hurried and trying to get all your questions in Cause a lot of stress trying to understand and question things as he headed out the door literally

I have been seeing Dr. Kim for years, and I hold him in the highest regard. Happily, I am now in remission from the uveitis flares that played me for years. Throughout most of that, I saw Dr. Kim. I believe his expertise, Communication skills, and compassionate care Taught me how to care for my eyes and preserve my vision. I continue to see him for annual check ups, and I am always pleased to see him. Wonderful physician!
