Dr. Shim was willing to explain in detail with me the significance of my blood test results. Taking notes while listening to her was a bit challenging as she speaks fairly quickly but I appreciated very much her detailed explanations and suggestions of various tools a patient can use to help evaluate their levels of dietary intake of, for example, calcium, and to help evaluate their patient risk. She laid out clearly a further assessment plan, and then some alternative treatment plans dependent on what the assessment reveals. She was patient explaining to a lay person how these assessment tools are designed. She's seems like a great doc.
