My life was so unmanageable before. Never have I been so pleased with any physician. Dr. William shim actually listens and cares about your concerns and together with his patient helps to find the best course of action that actually make a difference. I have had doctors in the past tell me my problem was all in my head, that I could not be in the type of pain that I was describing. It is such a relief to finally have a doctor that is willing to find the source of my problem and together finding a course of action that works best for you. Thank you Doctor Shim!

Dr.Shim, Runs his office with NO help. One Man Show what a Joke, I would not recommend Dr. Shim to my House Pant! He needs to hire some help than maybe he could do his JOB properly and remember his Patients Name or Face . Find A Doctor who cares about 'YOU' not the Money No Bed side manner.
