Dr Kim is very intelligent, thoughtful and concerned. He listens to everything you say and asks appropriate questions. I wouldn't think of going to anyone else except Dr Kim. Metro is very lucky to have him as one of their doctors.

Dr. Kim is a gem! I don't know what I would do without him.

Patient Rating
3/5

I didn't feel that I got any hope in my condition with this doctor. He was very frank about it, to tell me that I had no hope. At least a little hope would keep my spirit up. I'm very disappointed. I would not recommend this doctor at all.
