Patient verified via Press Ganey

Dr Kim has been an excellent PCP. He greets me personally at every visit and knows my medical history well. My understanding is that he will be leaving Pac Med very soon. I wish him well in his new position. If my insurances would transfer to his new practice, I would be going with him for continuity of care. Since it does not, I hope my new provider will be as competent, compassionate, and professional.

Dr. Kim always treats me like a friend as well as a patient. He knows how to make patients feel comfortable. To me this is very important. Without feeling comfortable, I would not be able to share all of my concerns about my health.
