    All the staff and Dr. made me feel as comfortable as possible. They were knowledgeable and answered all my concerns in terms that I was able to handle. They provided information and guidance without causing me any discomfort whatsoever. They were the best team anyone could ask for.

    The office was very friendly, receptionists excellent and helpful. We did have to wait 15 or 20 minutes after appointment time, but Dr. Kim was very informative, interested, exciting to talk to, and the nurse who gave us the shots was excellent and gave us some good feedback on traveling.

    Went to travel clinic for vaccines for African travel. Both the doctor and the nurse spend considerable time explaining everything I might encounter on my trip and the pros and cons of the vaccines I was about to receive. Very impressed with all. [redacted]

    Dr. Kim is very helpful, very considerate, very knowledgeable. And he actually read all my history and talked to my transplant doctor. So he was very prepared before seeing me. And also, he also provides a contingency plan if something happened when I was overseas. So I'm very, very comfortable and actually confident about after seeing him like when I travel overseas. So I think he's one of the best doctors I've been seeing in Boston. So I highly recommend him. Thank you.

    I think what we like most about Dr. Kim is that he had been to or knew a lot about the regions we're going to as opposed to just looking at a chart and saying, you're going here, so I'm gonna give you this. He went into detail about things that you could do in those areas that were high risk. So more than just visiting, what kind of things you're gonna have physical contact with, where you're gonna be sleeping, And I can't think of anything else. But you did a great job. How do I stop this? Maybe this is fine.
