I think Dr.Kim is a fantastic doctor. He couldn't be more caring. I'm always so concerned about going blind and he's very reassuring. We talked about new medications being evaluated that would mean a longer period between shots. That's always makes me happy. That's why we always make a generous annual contribution to his research fund. There's no one I would trust as much as I trust him.
