Dr. Elizabeth M Kim MD

"I have been lucky enough to have Dr. Kim as my primary for years now and I have always appreciated her knowledgeable but down to Earth care. Despite the fact that she has many patients with too few hours in the day, there have been several times when she has gone above and beyond to help me because she cares about all her patients. I had a particularly bad diagnosis a few years ago, and she actually called me personally, long after business hours were over, to answer questions and advise me. It really helped me get over the shock of the diagnosis and to be more hopeful for the future. I am grateful to have her as my doctor! I also appreciate her office manager Racheal. She also has a lot on her plate but has also gone above and beyond more than once!"

"I’ve been going to Dr. Kim since I was 5 yrs old, she sees my entire family as well. She’s hands down the best, patient, caring, thorough and really listens well. Her receptionist is equally as nice and always has been for years and years, she knows the health insurance world like no one else. I love how it’s always the same staff when I come in it’s like visiting old friends. They’re well-oiled machine and have their office running a certain way that works for her practice which may not be everyone’s cup of tea but it works well."

"I think she is one of the most thorough and and well informed doctors in the Santa Barbara area. I absolutely love her for the patient and attentive bed side manner she has with her patients. She listens and makes time to hear everything her patients have to say rather than trying to rush you in and get you out because her schedule demands it . You might have a little wait when you arrive for your appointment but it’s only because she gives each patient the full time that they need to feel that they have explained their ailments correctly. Top notch internist , I highly recommend her. And her receptionist is so friendly and personable it’s always a pleasure to see her when I first walk in !"

"I feel Dr. Kim is one o the best doctors in Santa Barbara. She takes time to thoroughly get to know you and cares about her patents. She is knowledgeable and efficient. I highly recommend her if you are looking for a wonderful, caring doctor!"

"Called to get a first appointment, but was told by the receptionist that I needed to come in with my insurance card before they would give me an appointment. I told them that her attitude wasn't great customer service and I would find another doctor. I wonder if the doctor knows her staff is chasing away new patients?"
