Dr. Shim was concerned about the problems with my hands, and gave me prescriptions for the medicines she thought would help me. She also gave me instructions for exercises I can do to help my hands.

This is one the friendliest offices that I've been to. From the font desk to the X-ray and exam rooms everyone was awesome. Dr. Shim explained everything thoroughly in terms of that I could understand. Looking forward to smashing and cutting my finger again. ( just kidding).

Not a fan of the AI being done during my visit. It stated that I agreed to have it done and I actually checked NO on the Mychart check-in and nobody asked me. That's my only complaint. I will make sure I specify during all of my visits that it is not my desire to have AI dictation.

I checked in at 8:20 for my 8:30 appointment, was called back right on time, and was finished by 9:03. Everything ran smoothly, and I never felt rushed. Dr. Shim is exceptional. She listens closely, takes time to explain things in a way I can understand, and answers my questions openly. I especially appreciate that she gives candid advice and doesn't sugarcoat what I need to know. Her honesty makes it easier for me to trust her guidance and make informed decisions about my care.
