Dr. Kim is highly knowledgable, he came prepared, having obviously reviewed all of my medical records. He knew that I recently had and was over bronchitis and factored that into his review of my test results. It was the first time I had interacted with Dr. Kim an he knew all about me and had discussed my case with my cardiologist. He knew exactly why I was seeing him.

I appreciated that Dr. Kim is willing to use my competitive nature to try and tackle my problem through natural methods first is possible. A shorter return time of 3 months would be helpful to know if my approach (the natural way) is working. If it is, this would bee encouraging. IF it isn't, I'd rather know sooner to discuss other options.

What I like about Dr. Kim if he doesn't treat you like a number, he treats you like a patient. He's not rushing to get out of the office. He sits in answers your questions guide you the right way and even told me some things that none of my past primary or cardiologist ever mentioned.

The results of my heart monitor were lost, but I was not told this until I was at my appointment. If I had been told beforehand, I could have redone the monitor for a week and would not have had to pay for an appointment at which I found out absolutely nothing about my situation - I could have rescheduled. This was a horrible experience, and I can't believe that I am still getting charged for it. This will greatly discourage me from going to any specialist in the future.

Dr. Kim seemed very rushed at this visit like he just wanted to get onto the next patient. I would have liked it if he would have gone through the test results in more detail maybe by printing out and reviewing rather than just saying everything is fine. I tried to ask some questions about the 2 results but he still rushed through them without much detail.

Dr. Kim provided exceptional care. This was my first visit with him but it was obvious that he had studied my past and recent clinical history before seeing me. He did another EKG, examined me, and interviewed me to further determine the best course of care. He was very insightful and recommended further tests ahead of a follow-up visit to go over the results. I was very impressed with him and feel fortunate that I was able to get this level of care.
