Lake Washington Dermatology

I’ve had a great experience at this practice every time I’ve visited. Dr. Patel is wonderful.. very kind, professional, and thorough. I recently had a mole removed, and the procedure was quick, painless, and stress-free. The admin team is always on top of things. I’ve also brought my son here, and the care was also fast and efficient. I’ll definitely continue to come back! Highly recommend.

As always, my appointment with Dr. Kim was a great experience. She is always on time. She is extremely thorough and professional, but she treats her patients with care and humor. I wouldn't think of seeing any other dermatologist.

Dr. Kim is very professional, yet also personable. I have been going to her for years, as did my husband. I respect her and trust her to provide excellent care and to give great advice on how I can care for myself and prevent problems. The office staff are friendly and efficient so appointments go smoothly. Thank you!

I like Dr. Kim a lot and feel she is an excellent doctor who knows her subject matter thoroughly. However. The entire staff continues to be masked up and I'm seriously considering finding another dermatologist. I have no idea what anyone looks like, I haven't seen Dr. Kim's face in four years, I could pass them in the street and be oblivious to them. I'm not here to argue the effectiveness or medical value of masking. We could do that for hours and convince neither of us because we're all dug in on that issue one way or another. What I am here to say is that the "people" side of medicine IS important and that can't happen through masks. I used to enjoy my visits to Dr. Kim's office and my chats with her as she's super bright and positive and we could kid with each other and have a connection. That doesn't happen anymore and the masks are a reminder as well of a very difficult time when everything was fear and suspicion and distancing. Health care in the US has become an assembly line and the patient is the widget. We barely get 10 minutes with a doctor before we're hurried out so the next patient can take our place. And now we have masked robots as the line workers. Enough is enough.

Dr Kim has always taken good care of me. She is thorough and she listens. I have great confidence in her skills.
