    Dr Lim was great. Genuinely cared about me and my visit. Very helpful in fully explaining my condition and listening to my concerns. Responded to my questions after my visit very quickly and answered everything I asked for. I would definitely recommend Dr. Lim to anybody who needs a hematologist.

    Dr Lim has has knowledge about her patients, AND willingly shares her knowledge readily. Complex "issues" are explained in layman's terms and there are no questions that are not answered. Dr. Lim takes the time for questions and I have never felt rushed. Any time a facility, such as University of Utah, makes me feel as though I am the only person in the world that they are helping...I can't help but thinks this is the best "place" to be!
