Dr. Stephanie Kim is an exceptional lipid specialist. From the moment our conversation began, she listened deeply, asked thoughtful and probing questions, and created an environment where I felt truly heard. When I recalled something I hadn't originally mentioned, she welcomed the interruption, ensuring every detail was considered. Her warm and welcoming demeanor made it clear that she genuinely cares about her patients.What impressed me most was her remarkably comprehensive approach. If a topic extended beyond her area of expertise, she didn't dismiss it-instead, she thoughtfully guided me to the right specialists. She also laid out a clear, well-structured plan for next steps, making the path forward both understandable and actionable.Later that day, I spoke with Dr. [...], a highly respected lipid expert and a neighbor of mine. He knows Dr. Kim-perhaps better than she realizes-and he told me I was lucky to have her as my doctor. I couldn't agree more. Dr. Kim is a consummate professional with deep expertise and a truly kind heart. I'm grateful to have been in her care.
I always have great experiences in the clinic Dr Kim is very good Doctor she explained me in details I highly recommend her . Thank you so much for all the care .

Dr Kim is a fantastic doctor. She listens, communicates, and teaches incredibly well and easy to understand. I recommend her to anyone who needs her specialty
Dr. Kim goes above my expectations to inform me of my diagnosis and her concerns about my health. She often calls me instead of her office staff to discuss next steps and clarify test results, all of which I appreciate very much.
I was so impressed when Dr. Kim called me herself the day before my appointment to see if I could come early in the day [...]. She was very fast, efficient, and so polite.
Dr. Kim gave us additional time to discuss a myriad of questions which we really appreciated!

Dr. Kim is a very knowledgeable and personable person and provider. She remembers our last conversation during my last visit. I feel comfortable talking with her and do not feel intimidated when she answers my questions.
I like the way my Dr. explained how my diabetes [has] been, because they monitored the results of my sensors. What I am doing good and what I need to do to better my condition.
Dr Kim is excellent: so thorough, kind and knowledgeable. She truly listens and addresses every concern that is raised. She's the best physician I've been to in decades.

Dr Kim and her staff are all very responsive and caring. The only suggestion is to have someone let me know if the dr is running late
Dr Kim was great.
Online meeting was quick and efficient, and saved me the trouble of commuting to South Lake Union and dealing with traffic and parking. Dr. Stephanie Kim was, as always, wonderful and well prepared.
My doctor is the best. She spends time listening to the challenges. She then explains the affect and impacts on some of the lifestyle decision. She addresses every concern and provide the way forward. She is extremely knowledgeable and always willing to share and educate me on diabetes as a subject
I can't say enough for the service of the care provided by the care provider and staff at this facility. A+++
MD did an excellent job discussing all treatment options, both traditional and emerging.
Dr Kim is the best!
Dr. Kim is fabulous-very knowledgeable and creative and caring. I like working with her.
Dr K showed zero interest in engaging with me in a true discussion about my health. After four visits, I no longer feel comfortable asking her questions because I find her to be dismissive, defensive, and condescending. It's really discouraging and left me emotionally wrecked about the subject. I personally feel that she doesn't take me seriously [...].I don't particularly trust she listens to me and I really am convinced now I need to switch doctors.
Dr. Kim is one of the best providers I've worked with. She is empathetic and listens to my needs and concerns! I feel comfortable to talk to her.
Dr. Kim is so knowledgable about diabetes, she had great insight and ideas, I so appreciate her.
Dr . Kim always reviews my file prior to my visit
Dr Kim is an excellent doctor and I would have no problem recommending her. She remembers her patients so I don't have to start all over. She is knowledgeable, caring and has a sense of humor.

She was very inclusive asking me questions and give me the recommendations. She's an amazing dr. stephanie kim
Dr. *Kim is awesome and very personable and understanding!
We had a very good give and take communication
I didn't expect the doctor to have looked so thoroughly into my medical history. She put many disparate test results and doctor notes together and made sense of the connections among them. I had thought my visit was to go over a new drug that would be administered by this clinic, and instead was given a thorough review of my many slightly abnormal lab results. I'm very pleased.
I was so impressed with Dr.Kim. She explained all my options clearly, allowing for all my questions & concerns. What a nice woman! After seeing so many UW cardiologists who became unavailable or weren't cognizant of my options, Dr.Kim was so much better, and quite frankly, a relief!! Great doctor!
