Dr. Kim has very good bedside manner. I started with Dr. Kim because he was a glaucoma specialist which I am being watched for. He performed my cataract surgery. I was very pleased.

Dr Kim did a great job on my eyes. As I said to him - WOW - 63 years of wearing glasses with high astigmatism and now no glasses. WOW
