I feel very blessed to have Dr. Kim as my Cardiologist. I have complex medical issues and he understands them and gets it. Dr. Kim also placed my stent in my left descending artery back in August 2013 and I have been very pleased with the results. Dr. Kim's is very understanding, listens, doesn't cut you off like some Doctors do and can tell he is one of those Doctors that cares about helping the patient get better and is not doing what he does just for money. Those type of Doctors I refuse to go do. I feel really blessed in having Dr. Kim as my Cardiologist.
