I went in as a last minute appointment. Made a quick appt as little as 3 hours. My primary was not available today but Dr Kim was. I am tempted in switching her as my PCP as I really enjoyed the visit. She was very tentative. Went above and beyond in terms of helping me out. Instead of just doing rh basic test she did blood work that will definitely answer my question for today's visit. Truly appreciate herand her team.
