We were greeted upon arrival and checked in. Brought into see Dr Kim on time and both Marilyn and I had a thorough exam and a few things removed and were fine. We are confident Dr Kim did everything necessary. We are very pleased with the care we received.

Everything was well organized and I was in seen on time. The doctor listened to me and after an examination explained everything very clearly. To relieve my anxiousness he said hed follow up in six weeks to make sure that everything was the same. I wouldve given them five stars but everyone I met allowed their masks to slip below their noses and ignored it. I believe in a doctors office this is inexcusable.
