    Dr. Kim was fantastic. She arranged for all I needed. I'm coming from Kaiser and am so pleasantly surprised how wonderful medical care is with Dr. Kim. I did try another doctor but she and her office group lacked kindness. So happy I got a referral and was able to become one of Dr. Kim's patients.

    Dr. Judy Kim is hands down the best PCP I've ever had!! Medicare has a different way of dealing with patients and Dr. Kim is an extremely patient competent and caring doctor!

    Dr Kim is an absolutely wonderful physician - knowledgeable caring and thoughtful. I cannot praise her highly enough.
    Aug 25, 2023
    I was pleased with how quickly I was able to schedule an appointment. The only thing missing was any mention of follow up care.
    Aug 22, 2023
    Attitude is always to think about only 1 thing and not the entire story of the patient holistically. Not a thorough exam or questioning method.
    Aug 18, 2023
    Dr is ALWAYS PRESENT and responsive at every turn!
    Aug 16, 2023

    Jun 30, 2023
    The provider is slow to respond to information and the explanation of the lab results is not clear. It is helpless for patient

    Very Knowledgeable kind and encouraging.

    Jun 16, 2023
    I am a somewhat difficult patient and Dr. Kim exercised a lot of patience with me!
    Jun 15, 2023
    This was my first visit and I am from out of town. The Dr stated she preferred to keep it local meaning that her patients were local. This was not at all welcoming and I really felt pressed to continue addressing the reason for my choice rather than focus on health care.

    Due to vacations my provider was not available. The clinic physician manager was wonderful. She understood the problem I was having and took the necessary steps to help me treat a nasty wound infection.. When I used the medication I had my first localized wound improvement. I have lost 5 pounds in a week due to pain malaise and loss of appetite. Today is the first day I felt well enough to cook and eat. Thank you.

    Very GRATEFUL for the professional care and concern of Dr. Judy Kim !!!
    Dec 15, 2022
    I felt rushed and that Dr. Kim wasn't listening or letting me finish. It seemed she was reading a script. I had to interrupt a few times to get my question/point across which was difficult when I was sick.
    Dec 10, 2022
    Have always enjoy my consult with Dr Judy Kim. Patient kind and a great listener.
    Dec 04, 2022
    Very patient
    Nov 26, 2022
    Dr. Kim is wonderful. I've had great interaction with all my physicians and their staff (including the Endocrinology Surgery) EXCEPT the Endocrinology Clinic itself. I've had my Endocrinology surgeon and primary care physician referring me to the Endocrinology Clinic for undiagnosed issues. Yet the Endocrinology Clinic comes up with different excuses each time why they cannot see me. Please check my record. Too long to write here. Happy to speak with you if that helps.

    Fantastic visit; Remarkable and truly caring provider; "slow medicine" was refreshing especially after last physical was so long ago
    Oct 27, 2022
    Very caring doctor who made me feel heard and addressed all of my concerns
    Oct 18, 2022
    I don't think this provider matches the standards of UCSF. I'm afraid to say that the provider doesn't know enough to be at UCSF. It takes her a while to understand the issue and when she understands it she doesn't know what to do next. I have seen PCPs at other hospitals such as Sutter Health and Kaiser in the past and she seems to be in the same category.
    Oct 08, 2022
    Follow up care within UCSF is still difficult to schedule. Some follow up specialists are scheduled online. Rest need phone calls.
    Oct 04, 2022
    The care provider was very enthusiastic and professional.
    Sep 21, 2022
    Excellent provider. Very caring. Took extra time to talk.
    Sep 20, 2022
    Dr. Kim is an informed compassionate health care provider.

    This was the first time I saw Dr. Kim - she was absolutely delightful attentive focused on problem-solving great listener and I felt she cared even though she had never met me before.
    Sep 06, 2022
    I liked the doctor & she had read my files of previous care.
