I got an appt with Dr. Kim very quickly, the front desk was very friendly. Dr. Kim acknowledged my concern for how painful the shot in my hand was last time and used a different technique to make is way less painful. I'm so impressed!

I was treated w/extreme care and respect, by both the MD and receptionists. The quality of care I received was both physically & emotionally very high quality.

I waited for 45 minutes beyond my appointment time for the doctor to come in. No apology was given. Had I been this late, they would have told me to schedule and he would not have seen me. Why is it acceptable for my time to be wasted ? I have to pay for parking longer, I have to pay the babysitter more, and my plans have to be adjusted. This is unprofessional and disrespectful.

Dr Kim was very kind and efficient. He explained everything in easy to understand terms. He also removed the glass from my finger the same day instead of scheduling an additional appointment, which I REALLY appreciated. He is amazing. The only thing I didn't like was that when I initially made the appointment I had to wait over a month, while suffering pain.

This visit went very well. As far as recommending, other meetings were too short, not enough information and they would not allow me to call in with questions, I could only use online.

Seemed to favor surgery as opposed to injectable solution

Dr. Kim fit me in even when his schedule was busting at the seams. He was personable, knowledgeable, and informed me sufficiently about my options with breast surgery.

Dr Kim explained in detail the procedure, after care and any possible complications that I may experience as a result of the procedure.

---

Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
Dr. Kim should answer the question about my diagnosis that I asked him a week ago. He also lied in the notes after my visit. My vitals were never checked, but show as being checked. Overall it was bad. Bad enough that I'm looking for a lawyer.

My experience with Dr. Kim was positive and overall great. I appreciated that he recalled my last visit and the history of my concern and seemed to genuinely listen to me and talk with me about my medical options for care and treatment. Regretfully, my experience with the medical assistants during intake was consistently lacking. My perception was that they were just going through the motions and not listening or demonstrating care to me as the patient. I felt that they needed to get the task done of checking me in and taking my initial set of vitals and they weren't interested or empathetic to my experience as the patient. It was dismissive and unbecoming of my experience with other Legacy medical staff and providers that provided me with exceptional care, compassion, and a genuine feeling that they were listening and cared.

I was way early to my appointment and the receptionist opened the door for me so I could sit, she was very nice to me. The dr who was supposed to see me was going to be late, but his PA came and asked if it was ok if she did the procedure and I agreed. She was amazing and very helpful.

My PCP referred me to Dr. Kim. Dr KIM is a SURGEON, so his focus is more narrow than what I was seeking. Dr. Kim had a habit of keeping his eyes closed, as if he was recalling information in his mind to convey to me, about half the time when he was speaking to me, which I found a bit unsettling. He referenced statistics and seems to be very knowledgeable but it felt like he was going over this same info w/ a patient for the millionth time. He could only offer me bone fusing (once my condition worsens) or shots for pain management. The written description of the X-ray test results were extremely technical and since I don't have a medical dictionary I will need to use google to decipher the terms. At that point I may be able to discern if I have any follow up Qs for the doctor about the X-ray results. I would like to learn what I can do to maintain or not harm the function in my hands and take the best care I can for them. Dr. Kim generally referenced my age, and I imagine osteoarthritis in women's hands must be an extremely common condition for him to see. I was not offended by the age reference, and I understand that joints wear out eventually, but would have GREATLY appreciated a referral to a hand therapist or occupational therapist.

Dr. Kim went out of his way to make sure I got the surgery I needed to help my wrist. With COVID it got cancelled many times. I will always be grateful.

Dr.Kim was very quick but thorough. Had only stitches removed.

This provider's office mgr incorrectly deployed a phone message that said the office was "closed due to inclement weather" when, in fact, their office was open on a two-hour delay. The message still said the same thing just forty-five minutes before my (re)scheduled appointment time. They were good about squeezing me in, the next afternoon, for which I'm very grateful, but it made the time with Dr. Kim feel very rushed-less than ten minutes. I was happy with, and confident in, his evaluation, though.

While I choose not to use his services (breast reconstruction after mastectomy) I liked him very much and had I chosen reconstruction I would definitely have chosen him for my surgery.

It was a very comfortable visit. The staff were personable and efficient. Dr. Kim took time with me to remove stitches and to provide advisement about follow up care. Dr. Kim is very easy to talk to and my bilateral carpal tunnel procedure and recovery went very well.

Was rude won't listen didn't even look at my hand. Went based on the previous doc. and didn't see if there are other test to do to figure out what is wrong with my wrist.

Because of the need to wear a mask and the fast pace of his speech, I needed further comments a few times for clarification.

Dr. Kim is a plastic surgeon. He is very direct and does not waste time during appts. This appt was my final post-op for breast reduction surgery. I am pleased with the results, and Dr. Kim asked if I was having any problems, if my back and neck pain had been reduced and if I had other questions. I brought the scar medications I have been using for his input. After examining me, he discussed my scar meds and told me which ones were highly recommended. He took final pictures of my surgery, and addressed my concerns about the inflammation in the lower part of my breasts and a small area under one arm where a drain tube was attached. He explained that everything looked good, that I was healing as expected and the area under my arm could be fixed in a couple months in the office if it hadn't receded on its own. He explained that swelling can take up to 6 months to subside, which made me feel much better. He was very encouraging and wrote an inclusive note in My Health, reviewing our conversation and his findings. Patients should come prepared with questions to get the best results from their visits. Dr. Kim will listen and address each one. Do not be afraid to ask. I like Dr. Kim and have appreciated him throughout this process. If I have forgotten to ask something during an appointment, I message him through My Health, and he responds quickly, usually the same day, within hours. My only complaint about my visits is the timing of nurses taking blood pressure. A patient needs to have a least 5 minutes sitting in one place to get the most accurate reading. I have been to this office 4 times. Each time I felt rushed, and my BP showed it. In addition, different methods of taking BP were used. I took my BP at home after sitting and the systolic was 13 points lower. After I have been seated for several minutes, it is lower still. The BP device I use at home is the same manufacturer as the one in the office, but has Bluetooth connectivity, so I have a running total available on my phone. Being rushed to take vitals seems to be a common thing in doctor's offices, not just at Legacy. Especially with older patients, I think it's important for this process to take a few minutes longer in order for the patient to feel they are being respected and treated with care. Back to Dr. Kim...I would recommend him highly. He did an excellent job reducing the size of my breasts and answering my questions and concerns. I have a piece of my life back. I have less pain and feel better about myself. I am so happy I had this surgery! He gets a gold star. And I loved the Halloween decorations in the office!
