Patient Reviews
Jan 11, 2024
Due to sudden changes in my vision I was referred to Dr Kim at Advanced Retina Care. I spent 30 years of my life in an allied health profession so I knew this was potentially a very serious problem. From my first contact the entire team that Dr Kim has assembled was nothing less than exceptionally kind and professional, which helped to calm my nerves. The exam was more thorough than anything I have previously experienced. Everything was explained thoroughly as the team dialated my eyes, did vision tests, and took digital photos on high-end equipment. They were always checking as to my comfort and keeping me informed during short waiting periods, and always with a reassuring smile. When Dr Kim entered the process she was so reassuring and informative, a with a genuine concern for patients. She took the time to address every question. I left with a solid care plan with my anxiety dissipated and thanking God for Dr Kim and her incredible team.
