Daniel J Kim, MD

I have been with Dr. Kim for about 2 years now and have been VERY pleased with his care and attentiveness. He is thorough and will listen to any, and all, complaints to determine the best course of treatment. He always responds to messages I leave for him in a very timely manner. I’m glad I switched from my old PCP to Dr. Kim. I also can’t forget to mention the office staff. They are stellar and very considerate when helping me. Couldn’t recommend this office enough!

We went through the process of finding a new doctor to care for our family when our doctors retired. Once we found Dr. Dan Kim our search ended. He is caring, highly educated and skilled. Do yourself a favor and schedule an appointment.

I originally chose Dr. Kim as my PCP because of the rave reviews he had on Unilocal and on Google. Unfortunately, my experiences with him were less than stellar.
At my first visit with him, he rushed me through my general physical and talked *at* me rather than *to* me. I tried to talk to him about what I thought was a food allergy, and after I described what I was experiencing, he said, «if those foods are bothering you, then just don’t eat them.» I was kind of baffled by that. «Yes, of course,» I agreed,“but I’d like to know if I’m truly allergic or not.” His response was: «I can send you to an allergist, but they’re really not going to be able to test for that.» I suggested seeing a GI doctor; but his response was the same: «Waste of time.»
Oh, and he did all of that at the top of his voice in a quiet office. Thanks.
I appreciate a doctor that can tell me the truth without the sugar-​coating; but after getting a second opinion (which suggested I do see a GI to *confirm*), it was clear that Dr. Kim really didn’t have time for me.
The only upside to seeing this doctor was his outstanding office staff.
PS. St. Jude Medical Ctr charges for parking in 30 minute increments, which is just plain mean.

I was looking for a new primary physician and one of my neighbors recommended Dr. Kim, even though he had never been to him. I took a chance and booked an appointment with this doctor. At first it was annoying to call the 1800 number to St. Jude’s to book an appointment with the doctor. St Judes is not a small place. The lady on the phone had to take down all my information just to book an appointment and it took forever. She forgot to get my address and had to call me back too. At least when they called me to remind me of my appointment, it was from Dr. Kim’s office.
Another annoying thing was paid parking in the parking structure! argh! Is nothing free anymore?! I guess. it’s a medical center. When I walked into Dr. Kim’s office, it was huge. I think there’s several other Dr’s that work out of there. There was three separate receptionists and you had to wait for one to be free. It was a huge operation. I was afraid I was going to get lost in the system or I wasn’t going to get personal attention. But the receptionist was super nice. I waited just a few moments before getting called to see the doctor. I only sat in the examine room a few minutes before he came in. Right on time! I have to say, I really liked Dr. Kim. I had a super extensive medical history and he waited so patiently listening to everything. He made really thoughtful suggestions and comments about my situation and never let me feel like I was crazy or a hypochondriac. When I asked for a blood test, that was when I knew I was right finding another primary doctor because he said I had to come back because I had already eaten. I was confused because my other doctor always just took the blood himself immediately. maybe I really don’t have high cholesterol. Hmp!!!
Overall, it was such a pleasant experience, which is quite opposite of what you should experience at a doctor’s office. yay!

I too have been fortunate to have found Dr. Kim. He was very detailed and comprehensive in his assessment of my whole body health and was more concerned and personable than your average physician. The cool thing was that he called and e-​mailed me the results from my cholesterol blood work with a decent turn-​around time. Also made sure I was all caught up on my shots.

Thank you Eunice K. for Unilocaling Dr. Kim. I’ve been coming to him for the past 5 years. He is always willing to listen and answer any questions that I have about any ailments or conditions. He is has a wonderful, caring demeanor that makes any patient feel comfortable.

It was the first time in years… 10, 15… since I’ve had a primary care physician. So, when I went to Dr. Kim today, I had several, vague, long-​standing issues. I was a bit apprehensive about having to explain all of my past medical history because much of it has been unaddressed over the years and I wasn’t able to give much info-​specific information about my symptoms-​from which he could deduce.
He was very patient & thorough and addressed each issue. Whereas, many other doctors just try to get patients in and out as quickly as possible. He also asked me to come in any time, even if there are no available appointments, when I have flare-​ups of my symptoms. Dr. Kim is really concerned about his patients and wants to help us be as healthy and comfortable as possible.
He also has very friendly office staff and doesn’t seem to have LOOOOONG waits that I often encounter at medical appointments.
