I thought long and hard before writing this review. My goal here is simply to let others know about…read moremy experience, so they can make an informed decision before coming here. I had a terrible experience with Dr. Kim. Her behavior towards me was completely lacking in empathy and kindness. She did not listen to me, and interrupted/cut me off/talked over me every time I tried to say something, even after I asked her not to. She made very unkind and judgmental comments, such as "And why do you think that's working?" She refused to help when I asked for it. When the appointment was over, she rudely said "OK then let's go" as I was trying to collect myself and my belongings. Zero stars -- do not recommend. Other doctors here may be kind and empathic, but Dr. Kim is not.

I am the caretaker of a lovely 87 year old lady in Renton. Once a month, or so, Dr. Joo visits the…read moreretirement community that she lives in and hosts a Foot Care Clinic for the elderly residents there. Yesterday was one of those days. My lady had an appointment to see him early. Let me say that i really do not like doctors and rarely visit one myself. I have to be almost dead to go. Lol It was my first time meeting Dr. Joo. I found him to be a extremely likable, with a wonderful and pleasant chairside manner. He took the time to talk to her and not about her, as if she were not there. He took care of her problem and gave her a lot of great information to better take care of her health. She left with a smile on her face and hope for improved health. I was impressed with him and will be taking her to see him again in the coming months. Thank you, Dr. Joo, for making our visit a nice one.

This place does not return your calls. I have left THREE voice mails since LAST WEEK and have yet…read moreto receive a call back. I'm not sure why they even have a phone number if nobody ever picks up or returns calls. I suppose if you never have questions or reasons to call, this place might work for you. Although I don't see how you can ever make an appointment if nobody ever picks up the phone or returns your messages! I was calling on behalf of my mom who is a patient there to ask some follow up questions about her test results and have yet to receive a call back so we are in a state where we do not know what next steps are. Maybe she picks and chooses who gets a call back - this is absolutely ridiculous.

I would give this a zero rating if I could. If you want to deal with nobody answering phone or…read morereturning your phone calls this is the place to go. We have had several situations where my boyfriend needed his insulin and they had failed to answer the phone. At one point we couldn't get a hold of them for almost a week, even after leaving countless voice messages.This place is very disorganized and it's very frustrating. Considering that this place deals with patients that need life saving medication, you would think they would at least answer the phone.

Dr. Kim is the best endocrinologist I have had so far and that makes her the third endocrinologist…read moreI have met with. She really listened to my unusual endocrinological needs and found a program that works for me! I cannot stress enough how grateful i am to have her in my team of doctors!

My initial impressions of Dr. Kim was that she seemed very nice and genuine about helping to treat…read moremy condition. During my first visit, she sat down and tried to explain how the thyroid works and etc. However, upon my following visits, she appeared rushed and didn't bother to spend the time with me. In fact, I felt rushed and didn't have the opportunity to ask her the questions that I wanted to ask. On other follow up visits, she would just give me lab results without bothering to check anything else. She basically read verbatim the lab results. These visits were probably less than 7 minutes, in terms of check up time. I was frustrated because she could have just called or emailed me the results but instead asked me to come in so that I would be billed the hundreds of dollars for seeing her for less than 7 minutes. Also, it seemed inefficient and a waste of time. I also asked her to write me a doctor's note to explain to my employers about my condition. Her letter was super ambiguous and basically said nothing. I understand that there is patient confidentiality to adhere to but it basically didn't tell my employers anything about my condition and said that I "may" be experiencing some symptoms. She obviously is treating my condition, why would she say "may"? The letter consisted about three sentences. I was charged about $10 for this "letter." I thought the entire situation was ridiculous since she seemed to try to gauge me on all these unnecessary expenses. She was not the right fit for me. I changed doctors after my fourth or fifth visit. My new doctor emails me my lab results and spends time to answer my questions even though I know she is also busy. There have been times where my new doctor has literally said, "oh you don't need to come in for that, I'll just email you that information." My new doctor also doesn't charge me $10 for doctor's letters. I really appreciate it when doctors seem to consider the patent's best interest at hand. This was just my experience so I don't know how representative my assessment is.

Dr. Pinault is the most caring doctor that I have seen. He is attentive to issues and has…read morethoughtful solutions. I like that he spends time with me and doesn't rush me out the door. You will be comfortable in his office and appreciate his decorations.

Dr. Pinault is a tremendously knowledgable doctor. He is incredibly kind, approachable,…read morecompassionate. He listens attentively, never rushes and enjoys getting to know his patients. Dr. Pinault completes your blood work right in the office. His lab tests are comprehensive including hormones, adrenals, thyroid - among many others. When he receives your results, he will call you (if results show irregularities) or schedule an appointment a week out to review the results with you. He also prescribes medication for pick up at your local pharmacy. It's a one stop shop. He also carries a multitude of vitamins, minerals as well as B12 injections. He cares about the health and well-being of his patients and is determined to help you feel your best. His front desk office manager is sweet, kind and patient. This kind of care beats any general practitioner or doctors office!

The…read morepost-operative pain was minimal, even though he had to move bones around in my deviated septum. The doctor's hospital staff at Swedish Hospital was excellent and supportive, and an unpleasant operation was made bearable by them. Wonderful staff at the office and at the hospital. I wish I had the name of his anesthesiologist, because she was kind and gentle, reassuring to my anxieties, and made it so that I woke up with no nausea or drug hangover. Pain meds were only necessary for two days!

I just…read morehad an extremely bad appointment with him and went online to post a review and found he must not care about reviews. They all agree he is extremely rude. There are comments on other reviews saying that he is sexist and racist! If I would have known I would have never even scheduled with him. My doctor and her office will know after this and not bother to send patients there and I hope word gets around until he doesn't need to do this job that he so obviously hates. Uncaring. Oblivious. Rude. God complex.

A discussion followed whereby he was condescending and emphatic regarding his review... My lung symptoms continued, finally resulting in a full chest CT exam, the result of which was I had a paralyzed diaphragm, collapsed lung, and that lung was full of infection... My compressed phrenic nerve (diaphragm) is now at risk returning to normal (after surgery) because of the time that has passed.
