Dr. Grace S Kim

This office is run so poorly… I have never been so frustrated with another dr. Office ever!!!! The Dr comes in, starts discussing my medical issue leaves never comes back and sends in her assistant. I have tried to pay my bill 3 times in the last week to no avail. Needless to say I am getting a referral for another endocrinologist

The office staff is horrible. It took them three (3!) weeks to correctly reorder a medication I was already on. They couldn’t get it right. I spent countless calls with them trying to explain it thinking it was clear only to have my insurance call saying they were not calling in what I was already taking so it had to be denied as what they were calling in was not covered. SIGH. More calls to explain something basic only to be dismissed, spoken rudely to and then hung up on. I reported this to Dr. Kim. No apology. Nothing. Which means apparently that behavior to patients is acceptable. As a patient you need to be your own advocate. Sadly, you can’t rely on this office to stay on top of things on your behalf. It is too bad as Dr. Kim is nice.

Dr. Kim is a very caring doctor & is very knowledgable on how to help her clients. She has a good blend of friendliness & professionalism. Her staff is also caring & ready to help. I would highly recommend Dr. Kim!

Dr Kim treated my mother who previously had 30+ years treatment with her partner. Her sole focus during the visits (3) was to change her medications which were extremely expensive, very new and actually caused my mother's blood sugar to rise to extremely high levels instead of managing her diabetes as her previous medications always did. When concerns about the rise of her blood sugar was communicated with Dr Kim and the effects on my mother, she never once contacted us to see what needed to be done or if my mother was better. My mother died very shortly after the last visit with Dr Kim. The drug manufacturer showed more concern than Dr Kim regarding my mother's condition and her reaction to the new drug. Prior to the change in medication, my mother's type 2 diabetes remained in perfect control for 30+ years. I was present with my mother during her 3 visits with Dr. Kim.

This doctor has no bedside manners. She uses words like "freaking". She is not interested in discussing the issues a patient has. She is only interested to prescribe medicine. She would not even listen to my issues. Once she heard an opportunity to prescribe medicine, she would not even hear about other problems I have. The office staff was 15 minutes late with the appointment. Stay away from this doctor.

I have left messages. No one gets back to me. It’s very frustrating and very unprofessional.

Dr. Kim is okay. But this is the worst-run doctor's office I've ever experienced. They sent the lab order to the wrong lab. They charged the wrong copay amount, and make it a hassle to even just request the money back. They forgot to send the lab order for my next appointment. They left me a message saying "Please call us back," and when I called back, they could not answer why they asked me to call them back. Several people who answer the phone, two in particular, have no clue how their office is run, and this has caused several very long emotional phone conversations just to clear up.

I thank Dr. Kim every time I talk to her, not just for good manners but, because I truly am thankful for her. I was referred to Dr. Kim 14ish years ago to help me lower my A1C. I wanted to have a baby and needed my blood sugars in an extra safe range. Dr. Kim helped me achieve my goal. My daughter just turned 12 and I am happy to say my A1C is still better than ever, which is saying a lot considering I have been type 1 for 38 years. Dr. Kim is the best. She listens, she cares.

I have been a patient of Dr. Grace Kim for 5+ years. Dr. Kim has taken time to get to know me as a patient and as a human being. I have never felt rushed when I have been in her office. She is thorough and speaks in terms that a non-medical professional like myself can easily understand. Her team is incredible as well - -so positive, responsive and kind. Her office staff sends a recap of my video meeting with Dr. Kim along with my follow-on appointment date in the mail for my convenience.

Every visit she listens to my needs. Goes above and beyond always. Makes me feel like my plan is individualized. Not lumped in with all other diabetics. I trust her and value her recommendations for my diabetes care.

Dr. Kim is Awesome! She helped me get my weight and A1C down, and now I am considered Pre-diabetic with an A1C of 5.6. She explains everything and lets me bring in articles to discuss differing options.

very professional and personable and very current on latest treatments as well as an excellent communications style!

I started seeing Dr. Kim almost 2 years ago and I am very happy to find a doctor like her. She is very professional, caring and listens patiently.

Dr.Kim is an extremely knowledgeable and attentive physician. She gives all her patients a personal treatment plan and cares about their all around health, I would highly recommend!

Dr Kim is very knowledgeable about Type 1 and can look at my CGM graphs and know exactly what to modify. She’s friendly and cares about my well being. I am extremely grateful to have such a great endocrinologist.

Dr Kim has provided me with outstanding care and ongoing education for over 10 years. Under her guidance I have “lost a first grader” (a lot of weight!), resulting in stellar lab results. She is an excellent communicator, often mentioning new research, and will not hesitate to send me to one of her specialist partners should something look odd to her. I know I am in good hands at her office. Dr Kim has provided me with outstanding care and ongoing education for over 10 years.

My referral came from my PCP & Cardiologist and Dr Vaughan told me that Dr. Grace Kim was VERY GOOD and VERY NICE!!! My Dr new how important it is to me to have a relationship with my health care team, as I will be dealing with my still relatively recent diagnosis for the rest of my life. He was more than right! My first introduction to Dr. Kim's office was her staff on the phone. My referral was sent over on Thursday and Friday am I called to check on it and they were working on my file and were going to call me to set an appointment! The staff was very kind, friendly and helpful. The office was easy to find and good parking. Upon my arrival for my appointment, I found checking in very efficient and quick. I hardly sat down and I was called into exam room for my appointment. Now...normally I am calm and roll my sleeves up to get the job done when it comes to taking care of myself and my health. This day because I new my health had taken a turn and was a big change for me, I was extremely anxious , maybe fearful. I was worried I wouldn't have enough time to share what was going on with my body and what I had done to deal with it...which obviously wasn't enough anyone. I was defending my efforts because I wanted Dr Kim to know I was really paying attention and wanted to get better...listening and trying to help myself. I was full of energy, found myself talking fast and wanted to get everything out that had happened over the last 5 years and show what I had done to improve my condition. Dr. Grace Kim stopped me and asked me why I felt a need to be defending myself. She assured me that she saw my efforts in my physical shape and past blood test results. She said I was in a safe place and she assured me that I would feel better and she would be there for me to do that. Oh my goodness!!! The kindness that poured out was amazing. As we discussed my case, I saw her professionalism, intelligence, care and concern. I find Dr Kim to be very confident (not arrogant, as I had experienced with endocrinologist). She is very friendly! She makes you feel like you could be a part of her family. I am very grateful for this wonderful woman! Thank you Dr Grace Kim and staff.

Dr Kim deserves 6 Stars. I have been seeing Dr Kim since she joined the CDE Medical Group. She has helped me treat my type 1 diabetes. I meet with her several time a year and we go over my Dexcom CGM numbers that works with my Tandem insulin pump. Then we discuss and tune the delivery of my basil and bolus settings. Her knowledge and experience has helped me manage the challenging diabetes that I live with every day. (not an easy task) I ride an 800 pound motorcycle daily, this is the greatest risk in my life, not my blood sugar being to low or to high. This is awesome. I lived and worked on the peninsula until 3 years ago. I moved to Grass Valley and I will continued to see Dr. Kim. I'm grateful and I feel lucky to have a a Doctor that is delivering professional caring medicine. Thank you Dr Kim and The Office Staff

I am a 76 year old diabetic. I have been seeing Dr. Kim for over a year. I am very pleased with Dr. Kim’s program to correct my diabetes. She realized that medication was not enough to fix the problem. As a retired business man, I really admire Dr. Kim’s ability to get me to buy into a series of life changes to address this serious health issue. My A/C is now down to 6.2. It’s unfortunate many leaders don’t have Dr. Kim’s vision

My visits with Dr Kim are informative and not at all stressful

A very companionate human being. She listens very carefully to everything I tell her and is totally knowledgeable. She takes her time with me and explains everything in detail. I would recommend her in a heartbeat!

Dr. Kim is one-of-a-kind. She is warm, compassionate and sincere and deeply cares about each of her patients. Dr Kim is in the right field. Her personality and commitment is what every parent should expect. If I can use the word "perfect" as an under title for Dr. Kim, it would not be fair because that title would not do her justice. She is so much more than that. She truly is a gift sent from above. Thank you.

Dr. Grace Kim is an excellent professional and displays an exceptional knowledge in her practice. She cares about her patients and is a great listener.

Dr Kim is very knowledgeable. She's very personable and allows you enough time to voice your concerns and will answer your questions in detail. In addition her office staff is great!

Very Professional and Very Knowledgeable.

Dr. Kim a very special compassionate well informed in the latest Medical brake throughs in Endencronolgy. From my first visit she insured me We would get my Diabetes under controll. After one month I felt a total change in the way I felt. She changed my medication which I followed to the letter she is responsible for lowering my A1c from 8.2 down to 6.2 with in 6 months. She really knows her stuff to put it mildly! Thank You Doctor Grace Kim for giving me a second chance for a longer and prosperous healthier lifestyle.

I fully agree. Dr. Kim is a very friendly, compassionate physician, who works hard to understand you and your health problems. She then discusses with you various actions to undertake to control your current health issues, so that you can live a fuller, happier, and longer life.

Dr Kim has been an amazing physician. She always has strategies to help improve my health care and she always has realistic but high expectations of me. She helped me get my health in order to have a baby. I don't dread going to the endocrinologist like I used to. She has been my doctor for about seven years now and I'm always grateful.

We were hesitant to go to San Carlos after my husband's doctor stepped down for health reasons, but once we saw Dr. Kim we both liked her and decided it's worth a few extra miles to see her. She is always striving to make things better for the patient and lowering or stopping meds that aren't needed anymore. We are both really happy with the results my husband is getting since seeing her.

Dr. Kim is a wonderful endocrinologist! She's intelligent, professional, and personable. Yesterday, I had my third appointment with her. I asked her to explain osteoporosis, how my test results compared, what it all means, and to educate me on the therapies. She took the time to inform, and answer all my questions. In this day, when physicians have limited time to spend with patients, I appreciated her time, and relaxed, courteous manner. I also appreciate her cautiousness in prescribing drugs,

I started seeing Dr. Kim when Dr. Gavin had to retire. I've only seen her twice, but feel she is really there to help me. She has already started adjusting some of my meds that she thinks are not needed or require lower doses. She really seems to care about her patients, which is very much appreciated.

Dr. Kim is one of those special doctors who is not only well-educated, but listens to me, and shows me sincere understanding and compassion. She encourages me to manage my diabetes--without scolding--and offers excellent advice on how I can improve my health. I am so glad that I found her.
