Dr Kim is the best. I wish he was my family doctor. He explains everything so well and is very concerning.

I left feeling concerned about a retinal tear and having upcoming cataract surgery. I don't understand why something isn't done prior to my surgery.

Dr. Kim repaired my left eye back in 2012 so I was very happy to have his input on the issues with my right eye now.
