Our health & and our lives are in the hands of the doctors! We have to put trust in their skill in their knowledge and where the unskilled and unacknowledged people looking for a silver bullet or a quick fix. It's obvious that Dr. Kim went way above and beyond the time talking to me and explaining to me, the complexities of the human body and the needs for so many different doctors that are in unique and specialty care work. Kudos to him for I know spending the time with me and I'll be back on a scheduled appointment for action against the shoulder and knee pain in approximately 3 1/2 weeks, just have to wait and suffer in the pain until then.

Dr. Kim is a fantastic doctor, and not only understands the problems with my shoulders, but he also understands my pain and how it affects my life. He is an awesome listener and describes all options for treatment for immediate relief and for future treatment and relief. I feel I am in good, professional, and caring hands. I feel I can contact Dr. Kim if and when needed, and he will be there for me. He helped me set up my next appointment, giving me great peace of mind (since it's sometimes hard to get an appointment with him.) Sharp is very fortunate to have such a wonderful doctor on staff! (As well as his nurse.)
