via Google Dr. Kim is the kind of doctor who truly wants to do the best he can for you. Due to my chronic illness I have been to many doctors and I know how hard it can be to find one who listens and does everything within their power to help. Not only does Dr. Kim do this, but he also has done the research and obtained the experience to efficiently come up with innovative and creative solutions that others may not have thought of. If you are looking for a doctor who cares and can make a impactful difference in your health journey, Dr. Kim is a good fit for you.

Venatay Tjhangvia Google Dr. Kim has really helped me with my various symptoms that were triggered by my auto-immune disease such as Hashimoto's hypothyroidism and food allergies. Thanks to him, my thyroid is under control, my food allergies were treated with allergy drops and I no longer am allergic. I also had asthma that is now so well controlled that I no longer need my inhaler, even when walking past cigarette smoke.

Angela LaBattevia Google I'd like to talk about Dr. Kim, his ears are probably ringing now but I hope in a good way. After several conversations with Dr. Kim, this is what I've learned and think it's important if you are looking for an excellent doctor, not just a run-of-the-mill individual with an MD degree.
Dr. Kim went to medical school as all doctors do and graduated. However, not like all doctors, he recognized the minimal nutritional education received during medical school severely limits the ability of a doctor to keep his patient healthy if he knows virtually nothing about the requirements needed to maintain a healthy body. So Dr. Kim went to school again to further his knowledge on Integrative Medicine, which combines conventional medicine, treating the symptom, and functional medicine, a biology based approach of finding the root cause of disease by looking at the nutrients needed to maintain a healthy body. Doing this, in my eyes, says "Oh, yes, this is a guy that wants to actually cure you not just give you pills for the rest of your life."
During the course of my 67 years, and medical career, I've worked with hundreds of physicians; however, I've never found one doctor who is as kind, compassionate and calls patients on a weekly basis to check on them, as Dr. Kim!! Yes, Dr. Kim would call me once a week and our 30 minute chat would always go over. I never felt rushed; he always made me feel like me and my health was so important to him. By the way, I attached my photo so you could see I am healthy, take very good care of myself and wish to live into my hundreds. Background on me: I am very active, hike 4 miles every morning, eat healthy, stay away from sugar, processed foods and I lift weights. I've always thought of myself as very healthy until I got SIBO (small intestinal bacteria overgrowth) and it severely impacted my quality of life and made me feel like I was getting old!! There were many times I couldn't hike or even eat for 2 to 3 days at a time because my belly was so messed up!! My intestines would hurt so badly from bloating I could hardly walk, my hair was falling out, patches on my face wouldn't heal. It was horrible and the regular doctors were of no help at all!! Because I worked in medical research, I did a lot of homework trying to heal myself but didn't have enough knowledge (neither did regular doctors). I started researching Integrative/Functional Medicine Doctors and chose Dr. Kim. I chose Dr. Kim because he was Chinese and I lived in Taiwan as a child and knew he would be smart and wise. I made a good choice because he is smart and wise. He explained the disease in detail, the treatment and after suffering through it for probably 2 years prior to seeing him, he cured me in 5 months. He is a SMART man, extremely kind and very positive. One of his best qualities is he gives you hope and backs it up with results which I saw quickly after his treatment started. I did have set backs due to myself breaking down and eating too many carbs. He always encouraged me and never got frustrated with me, as I learned SIBO is all about the bad bacteria and what feeds it. I owe so much to him; he gave me back my healthy life and happy mental status, how can you repay that?
If you are having health problems, even mental health problems, I know Dr. Kim can help!!! I highly recommend him!!! He really is a great human being and physician.

Sadie Youngvia Google I have spent the last 5 years of my life being unable to get out of bed about 80% of the time. I have been fortunate to have a wonderful GI doc to walk me through Crohn’s diagnosis, liver surgery, diabetes, and on and on, but after going through every med either causing side effects that were unacceptable or not working, I was truly thinking I would never have a quality of life that counted as living again. Enter Dr. Kim. I saw Dr. Kim years ago in Georgia to help with debilitating, decades long, jaw pain to great effect. When he decided to start a distance medical practice, I knew I had to try to work with him to get my life back. Dr. Kim listens, is thorough, believes your experience with your illness, and is willing to think outside the box and walk with his patients in a way that is absolutely unheard of in today’s medical practice. He speaks honestly, but he still gave me hope, and he gave me what feels like a miracle in Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN). While my initial reaction to this drug would have caused most doctors and me to toss it to the side as a loss, Dr. Kim found a way to help my body tolerate the drug. I am several months into my LDN journey now, and I. Have. My. Life. Back. Do I feel perfect? No, but I have gone from having an occasional good day to having an occasional bad afternoon. I am back to doing the things I love in life, and there will never be words to express how grateful I am to Dr. Kim and to myself for daring to hope one more time. He is not the doctor you go to first, but if standing in my shoes sounds familiar, please, please give him and yourself a shot.

Peggy Staudtvia Google During the time I have been treated by Dr. Kim, I have seen his absolute dedication to my treatment. His compassionate care and follow up are unique in the current medical landscape. He has treated me for significant pain after I broke my pelvis in five places and instructed me to regain a healthy lifestyle again.
