    I wanted to share my experience with this practice because I think it could help others know what…read moreto expect. This whole practice is bizarre. I was searching for a primary care physician near our new home and saw some good reviews on Google, so I decided to give it a shot. The initial call went smoothly, but I was a bit confused when I was told there was no way to send my previous medical records before my visit. It made me wonder how the doctor would know anything about my medical history prior to meeting. When I asked if I could email my records directly, I was told they didn't have an email system for that. I tried to fill out the basic intake questionnaires through the link they sent me, but the site crashed a few times, so I barely got any information submitted. I showed up before my 10 AM appointment, but even though I had already uploaded my insurance card, they asked me for it again. The front office staff was nice, but they looked super busy, and the lobby was packed. Seating was limited, and people were often trying to create space between themselves and others by "saving" the chair next to them, which made the VERY small lobby back up quickly. I ended up waiting for over an hour and noticed that people who arrived after me were being seen first. Eventually, a rather unusual person took my vitals, put me in a room, and said the nurse would be right with me. Then, he came back and told me to face the iPad for a "virtual" visit with the nurse. A friendly woman popped up on the screen and started asking me questions. Although I didn't like the iPad intake, the person who took my intake was very kind. After another wait, the physician came in and mentioned that she typically treats older patients but can work with younger people, too. Thanks, I guess? Even though the whole situation felt a bit off, I could tell she was doing her best given how busy things were. I didn't mind waiting because I know healthcare can be unpredictable and everyone has questions. However, I could tell I wasn't important, and my "annual exam" felt like a waste of time for both me and the staff. The doctor asked me the EXACT SAME questions the iPad nurse had already covered, and I was a bit disappointed that no one asked about my medical condition that requires blood work until I brought it up at the end. She said they might not be able to do the additional blood work during this visit but could fit it into my "follow-up" when I came back for my results next week. I found that a bit frustrating but didn't want to hold her up, as she seemed rushed and a bit scattered. Typically, a doctor or nurse will call with results, but this place tried to force me into a recheck to receive my results, which seemed scammy. Since I was there for an annual exam, I really hoped to discuss some specific tests based on her recommendations, but that didn't happen. Instead, she asked if I ride a bicycle, and when I said I didn't, she felt the need to tell me that if I ever do, I should wear a helmet. Thanks again, I guess...?The doctor left the exam room in a hurry, and I was still standing there, feeling confused by the oddest medical experience I've ever had. The whole place was just strange, informal, and cold. Clearly, this wasn't the right place for me to establish routine care.

    Felt bad for a few days and got over there, thankfully they have x-ray machine and I found out at…read morethe same day about my bronchitis

    One word: Superb…read more I'm not one to be easily impressed. So when I say I found Dr. Kim's approach to be thorough and impressive--that statement Carrie's tremendous weight. She's a brilliant individual and physician, and I thank the heavens for her! She's a truly exceptional physician in several ways. To begin with, her reassuring bedside manner is imbued with the kind of warmth, natural ease and calm confidence you would hope all physicians were made of, but rarely are. She makes it incredibly easy to discuss matters with her, and at no point in the appointment did I detect the doctor-patient power differential. It was a very healthy communicative dynamic where I felt completely at ease, heard, seen, understood, acknowledged and validated. She genuinely wanted to understand my experience and the struggles that ail me. She assumed nothing and listened with great care and attention, asking all the pertinent questions. She didn't miss a beat, not a single one. She's exceptionally bright, insightful and possesses a diagnostic prowess that is uncanny. She took the time to properly assess my current ongoing issues, and as equally and thoroughly went over my medical history, labs and other diagnostics, and delved into my childhood ails. Suffering from a series of complex health issues turned chronic, that none of the many top-notch doctors I had seen prior to her even came close to addressing; she, however, was able to give me the sense of clarity and empowerment I needed. She was able to inform me as to what the actual underlying issues, concerns and future implications were, how they were addressable and can be overcome, and presented me with clear options for treatment approaches for best outcomes, and explained here's why. She reintroduced peace and ease to my mind, heart and body. She even held space for me to be able to express my very real, well-founded fears and frustration, and took the time to address them with immense sensitivity and subtlety in her verbal and non-verbal language, and succeeded in putting those fears to rest, whilst rendering me with the courage to face what is to come with resilience, and an a positive attitude and outlook. She's truly inspirational. I felt an immense admiration and respect for her ability in being able to cultivate that response and courage within me. Most physicians miserably fail in this area. She excelled. The finesse in her emotional intelligence and agility makes most others physicians look like emotionally-dense amateurs. Her integrative, holistic approach came as a huge relief because it meant she was examining everything through multiple lenses to gain a well-rounded perspective for an effective, life-affirming cure. She openly discusses her thought process and the modalities she's employing in her assessment and treatment approach with you, so you're in the know. This enables you to begin developing an understanding of your bioindividual health dynamics. Her approach addressed me in my entirety as a whole person--my physical, mental, and emotional health, and psychosocial, energetics and spirit-affirming well-being, that honored me being authentic and true to who I am. By the end of the session she had throughly explained to me the likely root causes of the disease processes and manifestations, and what led to compromising my gut, digestion, metabolism, immune system etc. and where I am currently within the trajectory of my chronic disease manifestations. I felt the burden and disappointment I had been carrying around from being failed by prior medical approaches prior to meeting her almost completely lift off my shoulders by the end of the appointment with her, and left feeling I could finally take a deep breathe with ease again, as the stress and tension my body had been carrying around began to release and dissipate. I finally felt I'm in the right hands, receiving the right care and the right solutions were underway. My inner knowing was that I'm on my way to regaining my health, vitality and functionality, and with that, finally being able to reclaim my life and joy in a very real way. I left feeling empowered, grateful and hopeful. Above all, it was the most validating experience a person struggling with chronic illnesses can receive. Thank you Dr. Kim! You're a Rockstar! P.S. I've been in communication with Dr. Kim and with her front desk, Meredith, with follow up questions and received prompt responses from both. Dr. Kim offered further effective solutions to address and ease my suffering.

    PROS: Dr. Kim is one of the most genuine, kind, gentle, and…read morenon-judgmental doctor out there. She is not a pediatrician but majority of her patients are kids. I have been taking my little one to her since 4 months old. We went to her because we did not feel comfortable with vaccinating our baby at such young age. She explained to us her vaccine plan and told us that she would support us no matter what we choose for our baby (vaccinate or not). In addition to prescribing medicine, she also has knowledge about alternative remedies that when used correctly have worked for us. I am also personally seeing her for my Hashimoto's. I have been able to reduce my antibodies significantly since seeing her. I also like that she offers alternative lab testing which allows you to see a more holistic view of your body's status. The lab work that she recommends (but does not force on her patients because of the cost) looks at the levels of various minerals and vitamins that most conventional doctors do not check. However, those are vital to check at least once a year to gain some assurance that your body is in balance and there won't be any issues down the road. CONS: I have noticed that she is not very clear on how some of the remedies should be used. Often times I've had to look them up myself and do some personal research. It was a bit frustrating at the beginning but I was still happy because she gave me options and through my own research, asking her questions via e-mail (she is very responsive), I am able to make my own informed decision on how to treat my baby's illness at the time.

    When you call to ask then general questions, they will not provide without forcing you to provide…read morepersonal private information such as name, address, etc. The "nurse" I selected instead of customer service says it is the company's policy to obtain personal information from the caller before they can answer ANY questions even when the questions are not related to any person or person's medical condition or treatment. Can you believe this? She did apologize that this is the company's policy (to obtain personal information from the caller). Sounds like a person not using her brain and just following orders clearly for anyone looking to discuss a particular patent and applying it to any situation or anybody. Before you can say a word, the protocol is "your name and date of birth"? And they will keep repeating that and not allow you to speak. Imagine this: Me: "What are", interrupted already Patient First: "Name and date of birth" Me: "Do you treat XXX" Patient First: "Name and date of birth" Me: "Will all doctors treat xxx if I come in on XXX" Patient First: "I won't tell you unless you give me your name and date of birth and address" Me: "What?" "How about if you open on weekends and I can just walk in right?" Patient First: " It's my job to obtain this info before I can answer anything as we are told to DOCUMENT every call" Maybe they need to document to avoid lawsuits related to patients but in doing so with little training, they are also risking more legal trouble potentially by being in violation of privacy laws by intentionally collecting personal info of callers who are not patients and are not asking questions about patient medical account.

    I have had the occasion to visit the urgent care far more frequently than what I wish I had to, but…read moreI can say that every time I've been to this location I have been treated kindly by everyone who was working, I've been treated throughly and I was seen in a reasonable amount of time. In one instance I was diagnosed with pneumonia and the doctor asked me to follow up in a few days to ensure that the medication was working and that my symptoms were improving. Never in all my life have I had an urgent care doctor ask that I follow up with them, usually it is just instruction to follow up with my primary care and/or my pulmonologist.

My absolute favorite doctor Dr. Lim has left the practice so I've been hopping around whoever has been available and have found each person that I have met has been incredibly kind, smart, and sensitive to whatever issues I am facing at the time. The back and forth communication between the app is amazing and has saved me hours of my life .. and the ability to make same day appointments is life changing. They have a children's practice as well, which I am highly considering switching to as I can see it being easy to schedule sick and well visits, get doctors notes, etc. My company used to pay One Medical Group as a benefit but it is so good that I continue to pay out of pocket. I am so glad that Amazon has purchased the company to make this type of quality health care more accessible for all.

Even better, my wait time was only about 10 minutes to get that lab work. And I checked the app ahead of time to figure out lower volume times to visit--yay, technology! My lab tech kept me smiling through the short appointment and let me know when I could look for results through the app or from my primary care provider. All together, this is an excellent practice and well worth the annual fee.
