Comments: Paul H. Kim, MD has all the traits that patients, their loved ones who accompany them (and the team that works with them) hope a doctor will have. He was specific, thorough, unrushed and warm in matter as he examined my friend Bob Iles’ injured knee. He asked questions, described the nature of the injury and described the procedure that would fix it. During the discussion he showed us the X-ray of Bob’s knee and even drew a helpful diagram to illustrate the procedure to be done. Also, after the surgery he was available by phone and email when Bob had questions. As a former journalist who now speaks at healthcare conferences on connective communication I was gratified to find such a skilled, empathic doctor.
