Patient Reviews
Apr 15, 2024
I went to see Dr. Kim for a second opinion. I was so impressed and thankful that I did. I was getting injections every month for nearly a year and the injections were not working. They kept changing to more powerful drugs. Dr. Kim reviewed my record, listened to my concerns, and instead advised me to stop the injections. 6 months later everything is stable and no injections. What a life saver. Had I not seen Dr. Kim, I would be still getting injections.

What’s a board certification and why is it important that my provider has one?

A board certification represents a provider’s dedication to ongoing training in one or more specialties, including the completion of intensive exams.
