I have been seeing Dr. Kim for 4 years regarding a work comp injury and he has been great helping me with treatments for my back pain. His staff has been wonderful helping out with the appointments and problems dealing with work comp authorizations/denials. my work comp case finally settled and I'm continuing to see Dr. Kim with my private insurance. He and his staff are the best.
