My visit with Dr. Kim was really amazing. He was attentive. He knew where I was traveling to, what I needed to do, what I needed to check, what I needed to, you know, to observe and any signs of anything that would happen in terms of infection and what kind of precaution that needed to be done. I saw Dr. Kim for the first time and I was absolutely really impressed by his knowledge and not only that, I mean, his concern and the information that I needed that would safely get me to where I'm traveling to, which is Kenya and everything that I needed to do [redacted]

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.
