I had a very bad experience with Dr. Grace Kim, DO, in Las Vegas. I needed written clearance for a psoriasis drug from an infectious disease doc due to TB exposure, despite a clear chest Xray. So I called 3 infectious disease practices. Two were not accepting new patients. Although the third one was accepting new patients, the earliest I could get an appointment was in several months. My attempts were fully explained to Dr. Kim. I also offered to get clearance from a reputable pulmonologist whom I saw several years ago and was seeing again this week. Dr. Kim refused. She did not even offer any guidance or assistance.

Just returned from the pulmonologist who offered to write a letter based on negative test results, an exam, and the fact that I didn't have any TB symptoms. He also contacted another dermatologist on my behalf, explaining the situation. This dermatologist understands the circumstance and agreed that I should be cleared based on the information presented. There was no reason to wait 3 months to see an infectious disease physician and have my painful psoriasis return. I am scheduling an appointment with her and leaving Dr. Kim.

If you want a compassionate and well-informed rheumatologist, stay far away from Dr. Grace Kim.
