Dr Kim is top notch in my book. Very knowledgeable and kind
Dr. Kim was thorough in his explanations; however, I felt that he was talking down to me.
Always responds to questions immediately.
All went well
All Great
Dr. Young Kim always listens and answers questions. He also explains things well.
Dr. Young Kim is excellent.

Great communicator. I learned new things. Very clear directions for future.
Eye injections are always pleasant because of the personalities and compassion of Dr. Young Kim and the entire staff.
I would like to switch my provider to Dr. Kim. The whole appointment was easier on me, is that possible??
My first time meeting Dr. Kim. He and his staff ware very professional and nice.
I like Dr. Young Kim very much!
I feel very fortunate that Dr. Kim has been my eye care specialist for approximately 15+ years (or more). I've lost track of time. I am EXTREMELY GRATEFUL to Dr. Kim and I do want him to know this.
Asked me how much I understood and explained in a way that did not make me nervous. Helped my anxiety about the situation.
Extremely grateful to have Dr. Kim as my retina specialist.
Always complete, pleasant and appropriate.
Dr. Kim interacts quickly but effectively to give injections after nurses due the dilation and prep work.
