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!
