I love the care team
Nov 14, 2024
I just wanted to say that Dr. Kim was absolutely amazing at explaining everything and being very kind and considerate to my son and I, along with her nurse that was in our room. I became quite emotional when we found out what was happening and they couldn't have been kinder or more understanding. I will forever remember that. So thank you to the nurse that was in that room with us that day and Dr. Kim.

The doctor was very thorough and answered all of my questions. Everyone was incredibly nice and helpful. My only complaint would be that the doctor jumped right in explaining different scenarios and when surgery is necessary in front of my daughter, which scared her. Luckily, my daughter is very smart and into the sciences so she quickly understood when I explained why the doctor shared so much. Otherwise, we are very impressed and grateful for such a caring doctor and staff.

Absolutely love the new format of the new head shape clinic and the collaboration of all the teams together. Definitely reassuring to see such great teamwork, many sets of eyes from different disciplines looking at each kiddo. Fantastic!!

Dr. Kim is one of the best we've worked with at Children's! My daughter and I felt honored to be a patient of her's. Her team was also amazing to work with!

Hello, so I just wanted to correct one of my answers. I think I put a three instead of a four. We meant to put all fours, the best possible answers for our experience with Dr. Kim and the other medical staff that helped us, the medical assistants, the nurse, and Dr. Kim are ordinary professionals and we are so grateful that they're helping us with our son's medical needs. So we just feel very lucky to be working with them. Thank you very much. Bye.

There is nothing more frightening as a parent than entrusting your child's well being to another person. From the very start, the staff at Children's hospital and Dr. Kim specifically has provided us with information and exceptional care of our son. We are forever grateful for the expertise of the doctors at Children's Hospital and the lengths that all staff go to in order to support the children they serve as well as the family of the patient. Thank you so much for all you do!
