Dr Kim came by my infusion booth as I was in pre-chemo infusions. We discussed the reduction of Benadryl from 50 ml to 25 ml due to my extreme reaction to the higher dosage. He expressed that the installation of the new port should occur ASAP (the 1st port didn’t heal and was removed). He’s so very cordial and easy to talk to.

Dr. Kim made time to see me due to an urgent issue. He was concerned and did everything to get me the help I needed to stop an infection. When I got to West Hills UCLA hospital, I learned that Dr. Kim had spoken to the surgeon that would remove my port and clean the wound. I was so grateful that he’d done that because everyone there had a different idea about what should be done. I’m glad that the surgeon was following what Dr. Kim had advised.

This was a brief, follow-up visit for an ongoing condition. Blood was drawn just before the dr. came in. Dr. was very focused, to the point, and did t waste time on any extraneous stuff, as usual. I trust his expertise. As always, my lab results will be available in the portal soon, and the dr. said he’d alert me if anything was out of whack. Bit of a wait today in the treatment room, but since I was 2-3 minutes late due to traffic, I can’t really complain.

About a week before this visit, I received a testing kit from a lab to bring to my appointment today which will test for residual cancer cells in my body. The patient information paper inside was prefilled by Dr. Kim’s staff; all I needed to do was bring it to my appointment and get my blood drawn. I am so grateful for Dr. Kim’s meticulous care; he is one of the finest physicians I have ever known. I trust him and am thankful that he has taken care of me these past 8 years.
