Patient Reviews
Aug 10, 2023
As many opthamology appts as I have had at UCI Dr Kim, his resident and student were by far the best. They were not dismissive and really focused on my care and a path forward to the point I wish they were the only ones I'd be seen by for all my future appts in regards to my eye issues.
