I've gone to see Dr. Kim 3 times in the past 3 years. My first time he was exceptionally thorough. 2nd time not as much. 3rd time not at all. He says "Oh your 30, your eyes don't change much." Does a quick check and sends me on my way, no pressure check, doesn't look behind the eye, no dilation, no glaucoma check. Just checked my sight. I think I can say I have spent more time in the waiting room (which is always packed btw) then in the examination room. Also, depending on his mood, he could be quite dismissive to your questions. This is truly fast-food ophthalmology.
His staff could be more polite as well. I asked for a copy of my prescriptions, and she wrote down the one for contacts and told her that I need one for glasses as well, I got "Really? Ugh... hang on a moment" because Dr. Kim had already brought in his next patient. So sorry to interrupt your texting session.
Finally, and while this may not bother some people, I got totally skeeved, The machine you end up putting your chin and forehead against, he doesn't have the disposable paper sheets that you simply tear off after a patient uses it. Nor did I see him or any staff member tear open a towelette to clean it. He goes the tissue route, because I'm sure the practice is hurting, and those paper refills probably cost uber bucks, anyways, tissue aside, the forehead rim is extra greasy. read more
