I would drive hundreds of miles to see Dr Kim, if necessary. My husband & I would never go elsewhere.
Dr. Kim was thorough in discussing issues and options. He was caring and listened to our concerns, providing his professional insights.
Definitely recommend
Dr. Kim was very good.
I had went to the ER recently for a kidney infection and Dr Kim was able to see my CT scan and we discussed how to prevent that from happening again. Also when I had reported last month to Dr Kim's office about my concern I had a UTI. A nurse from Emory called me and went over symptoms with me to watch out for and from that conversation I knew when it was time to go to the ER. So I am very grateful for that Emory employee calling me and going over that with me.
Dr Kim is the best. He always has been great, but this time he went well beyond what was expected.
Dr. Kim always goes that extra mile, listens to his patients and players hard and do his best of his ability.
Dr. Kim is the best, and I would highly recommend him without any reservation.
I have been a patient of Dr. Kim for over 20 years. He is remarkable as he remembers details and suggests care appropriately.
Excellent
The Dr that my son and I met for the first time through the video was amazing!He took the time to answer my questions, gave me advice and actually cared and listened to my concerns. I did not feel rushed and I had his undivided attention.
All good experience
Always enjoy my medical discussions with Dr Kim who is always attentive, prepared, thorough and kind!

They are really good.
Dr Kim is why I come to Emory
Dr. Kim is caring and thorough. I am quite pleased with him.
He diagnosed the issue quickly
I have already recommended family and friends to this practice.
He does not listen to his patient. It felt like he already formed his opinion and made his decision prior to seeing me. He also made inappropriate comments such as "dude just go to work life is hard enough". I felt it was very unprofessional because first of all I'm not a dude. Secondly, if I'm expressing how my medical condition is debilitating me to the point I have to call out sometimes that means it is serious concern. Also, who is he to tell me to just go to work? This is my body and I know my ability and pain level better than anyone. Lastly, I felt he was very passive aggressive and rude, I didn't feel as if he cared at all about me, my health, pain, concern, or request. He's absolutely the worst physician I have seen in my life. He needs to practice listening, not prejudging, bed side manner, and punctuality.
Dr Kim ALWAYS takes his time with me and explains everything. I always am so thankful for his excellent care.

One of my best primary care experiences to date.
I've been coming to Dr Kim for well over a decade. His bedside manner was very poor and unprofessional in talking to me about the cancer . My oncologist has never handled me with such insensitivity and callousness. It was totally uncalled for. I was so disappointed in him. I'm looking for another ppc. Not ideal in the midst of what I'm going through but I never want an experience like that again.
