During initial visit, Dr. Kim explained the procedure thoroughly and set my mind at ease. Procedure went well, fast and pain relief was better than initially expected.

Dr. Kim has been treating me for about 19 years and I have never met a doctor that is as compassionate and willing to help his patients as much as Dr. Kim has. He has always been very professional but yet understanding of all of my pain. He has never judged or criticized, but has always offered the best treatment I could have ever received. I was in constant pain for about 15 years, every day I suffered tremendously, but then I was referred to Dr. Kim and he has managed my pain for alot of years and he deserves a huge "Thank You" for all he has done and for his continual care for my physical needs. Thanks Dr. Kim for all of your help, You are truly the BEST among the BEST.

I have been seeing Dr. Kim now for 9 years. He is the absolute best. Very understanding, listens to you and takes time with you. He answers all your questions in a way that you can understand. At one point I had injections in my back and he was very compassionate. Dr. Kim is also down to earth. I would highly recommend Dr. Kim. I want to add that the wait time to see Dr. Kim varies being anywhere from 15 min to 30 min. And when they get you back in a room it's anywhere from 10 min to about 20 min. The Physician Assistants that I have seen have all been good to.
