Feb 28, 2024
I have a very serious and a crippling nerve disorder. I have had CRPS for 22 years and it has spread through out my body. We were introduced to Dr. James Kim about 4 years ago. He is the first Doctor who changed my life. Dr. Kim listen’s, cares so much and works a treatment plan that works for you. No pushing pills! He worked with me and my husband and came up with an incredible treatment plan and I have a life again. He truly is one of the greatest doctors we have met and will always highly recommend anyone that has pain to reach out to Dr. Kim. You won’t be sorry. Thank you Dr. Kim from for the outstanding care and for all you do for me and my husband. I truly have a life again!!
