Dr Hahm was excellent. I had been seeing another GI doctor for the last several years on and off for SIBO and Dr Hahm gave more background and explained a lot of it better than I had ever heard from my last doctor. Very knowledgable and friendly.

Doctor made time to meet with me last minute to help me get new insurance approval for higher dose of medicine since I currently have active disease.

Doctor took the time to review my records and to give suggestions and recommendations. Great demeanor and very patient however, I was waiting for a good hour and 10 minutes in the examining room to be seen. Wasn’t sure if it was a surgery day for the.

Dr. Hahm was very kind, knowledgable and compassionate. He takes a lot of notes during the visit which gives the impression he's listening intently. I wish we could do some deeper digging into if there's an underlying reason I have IBS and SIBO. For me, that would be preferable to going straight to trying a new medication with potential side effects. But I also trust his expertise.
