Yes he did a good job [...]
My caregiver is awesome
Excellent
Good
Dr. Kim has both saved my life, but he has also provided my body with the opportunity to "re-learn" how to function - my legs - to stand, walk, climb stairs to this point. He shows an incredible amount of care, listening, and support. I am so very grateful!
