Dr Youngwu Kim was direct, kind and helpful, and she is clearly expert in her field. This was an initial meeting for me and I do not need follow-up care at this time, but we agreed she "has my back" and I will return as needed. I left the meeting with a clear understanding of my issues and options, very relieved to have Dr Kim to return to when needed.

Except for having to wait a while to see the doctor, I had a great experience here. I came in for a post-delivery check up and all of my questions/concerns were addressed. Everyone was super nice and understanding. I didn't feel rushed or like my care mattered less than others. I'd highly recommend Dr. Kim!

She was amazing. She listened to me. She understood what was wrong. She suggested how I could change my medication to work. And I didn't understand things, so she kept re-explaining it. And she's perfect. I mean, I couldn't find anybody better than this woman doctor. Perfect.

She listened to me and she was honest. She talked through how medications for my other medical issues are affecting the issue I was seeing her for and why. No one else has taken the time to think about any possible correlation with the issue and that was refreshing. She also pointed out additional side effects I could experience which was helpful.

This appointment was a result to one from the previous week (different office) where I didn't feel comfortable with the visit or results. This appointment was the complete opposite. I felt comfortable, heard and treated. All my questions were answered. And this facility was clean! That's an important aspect to me. Although a busy area, and a little further away than one of the other locations, I would visit here and this Dr 100x over.
