Every encounter with the staff was wonderful, they always were willing to help and go above and beyond what was required. The only complaints would be the length of time to get treatments, which was the fault of my wonderful workers comp insurance company, and the painful exams, which could not be avoided.

I am a long time patient of Dr. Kim's and have been very satisfied with all aspects of the care that i have received at his facility. I am especially grateful to the staff for their patience as my recent shoulder surgeries were authorized by Federal Workmen's Comp. This insurer is very difficult to deal with and often requires additional follow up that typically isn't necessary.
