Dr Kim always takes his time and listen very carefully about the symptoms I have even when there is no change and when is change he's documenting to the insurance company so I get approved for procedures and treatments as necessarShow morey. I used to get hip injections every 6 months or so with very good result until recently had a surgery and now I don't need it anymore. I'm still getting nerve blocks for my arm nerve pain. Dr Kim excellent care give me at least 6 months of controlled pain of 80% better. Without his care and treatments my life would be miserable and I wouldn't be able do a lots of things I'm able to do like even get out of bed everyday.
Dr. Kim is an excellent doctor! He is always attentive, and truly concerned with how I am doing. He genuinely cares. And, while he is very personable, he is also very analytical, with regard to diagnosing of the source of my paShow morein, and how best to treat it. I have been his patient for over three years. He is helping me to deal with the chronic pain I have in my lower back. I wish I did not have the pain -- but, since I do, I could not ask for a better doctor to "have in my corner" than Dr. Kim!

Great doctor and staff
Always willing and ready for my visit! Both Dr Leano and Dr. Kim Are Awesome Doctors! They listen to my questions and always are very compassionate to my issues!
I have seen Dr Kim for many years,and I have had good results I’ll recommend him to anybody with back problems.
every one in the office was very polite and helpful. The doctor was very thorough.
Dr Kim came in the room with a page of type written notes prepared to discuss how my medication’s were working out. He was thorough and to the point. He listened when I asked questions and answered all my concerns. I asked for him to schedule a epidural, and he immediately agreed and said that there was only one spot to schedule me in before Christmas. He ran to the scheduler’s office and booked it before it was given away. Dr Kim’s attitude, professionalism, and promptness made my appointment a success.
I absolutely love and respect both Dr Leoni and Dr. Kim. They make sure all your questions are answered and you understand all explanations. The reason the the three stars? The wait time is extremely excessive. I have spent up to an hour and a half past my appointment time in the lobby! It almost makes me feel as if my time is not valuable. The staff are also phenomenal . They just need to perhaps work on time management.
He always makes time to listen!
Everyone very friendly, courteous professional and funny!
On time. Nice people. Very professional. Had problem with changed time (not informed) but easily straightened out.

Very prompt and efficient appointment. Dr kim went over all my treatments thoroughly and made adjustments, etc. It was a rewarding experience.
Very kind and helpful
Dr. Kim is a great doctor. I have never had a bad or stressful experience with any doctor at Capital Pain Consultants. Dr. Kim is respectful, listens and never hurries you out of the room. If something isn’t working with treatment he isn’t afraid to try something new. Capital Pain Consultant have literally changed my life for the better since I started going there. I would highly recommend Dr. Kim or any doctor at Capital Pain Consultants.
Excellent
Everyone in office kind and thorough,
Pleasant and Knowledgeable. Good Listener. Gives excellent “Trigger- point “ injections. Supportive and caring.
Took a month t o respond to receipt of my x-rays. Not happy.
I appreciate Dr. Kim's willingness to listen to my concerns, and to respond them as best as possible.
Good experience, Dr. Kim is a great doctor, however the policy of reducing everyone's pain meds to the bottom threshold I do not care for it is not caring for all my pain, which is why I go to pain management to keep my pain under control.
Very understanding
I love both Dr. Kim and Dr. Leano. Both are so kind and thoughtful and genuinely care about their patients. The whole office staff is excellent.
