Shoulder rotator cuff evaluation was as expected. Dr. Kim is very professional and I have complete confidence in his care.

This was my first visit with Dr. Kim and I liked him very much. He explained everything to me, listened to me, and was able to answer all my questions.

I would never recommend this Dr. And Ive never felt like this before. I honestly felt like he didnt listen to my concerns. He knows how to do his job but his bedside manner leaves alot to be desired unfortunately.

Dr Kim was personable and took the time to thoroughly understand my concerns. He was able to diagnose my issue by running me through a series of motions to hone in on the exact problem. Excellent care.
