I felt very involved in the process. Most everything was explained to me before it was done. There may have been a reason why he did it, maybe for the unknown =less painful, but when the piece was pulled out of my shoulder, the doctor did not tell me. It was unexpected and it did not hurt or anything just unexpected. That's all. He was a great doctor. I had great nurses and fantastic attention from all medical staff.

Dr. Kim was well prepared, diagnosed & educated me about the sources of my cervical pain & eloquently educated me & my husband. He then came up with a commonsense plan to alleviate the chronic pain. I have a follow up appointment planned.

I have been seeing Dr. Kim for nearly 10 years (I think). He, and the entire staff, have been phenomenal. The nursing staff is top notch! Competent and compassionate. Dr. Kim and his Team have made, and continue to make, a huge difference in my quality of life! It is much appreciated!

Hi, I really enjoyed Dr. Kim. He's been very helpful to me as I don't want to be on any opioids and I have chronic pain that can't be cured. So I'm very happy with how he treats me, how he talks to me. He's always right on top of things. I'm very happy with him. [redacted].

My experience with Dr. Kim has been phenomenal. He is one of the best providers that I think is in New England and I would recommend him to anybody. I have seen him more than one time. He has done procedures on me more than one time and he is just the best of the best in New England.

This care provider was very straight forward. He grouped me with other people that have my condition. He never cracked a smile. He wasn't personable at all. Keep in mind this was a consultation and the first time I've ever met the man. I am going to continue seeing him. He is different from other doctors I've seen that does not make him a bad doctor. [redacted]. I'm hoping that he doesn't hurt me.
