What truly defines “World Class” Often we hear the term of World Class Patient Care & Ability. What earns that recognition extends way beyond. When you have any medical need it is so vitally important to trust only the very best. Dr. Kim is absolutely the very best. She also is an amazing highly personable person. After numerous years of care under Dr. Kim, I simply wish it was possible to add additional stars to this review. You deserve the very best. Dr. Cockerham is that medical professional shinning star.

Dr. Cockerham is amazing. She gives a personal touch and truly cares about her patient in a way that is unheard of now days. She diagnosed and helped me without hesitation and continued to follow up over the weekend when it wasn't expected or required. She is the best and I would highly recommend!!

Dr. Cockerham and her team are excellent. She’s given me (and continues to give me) great care. She’s very thorough. She explains the plan for care very thoroughly with me. She goes over my test results with me, explaining what they mean in plain language. She takes plenty of time to answer all my questions and ensure I understand everything. She’s a great doctor. I trust her completely. I strongly recommend her.

Very pleasant visit. Everyone is nice . Dr. Cockerham is super kind and knowledgeable. She enrolled me for a clinical trial, which gives me a hope for the future. She also makes sure I can contact her when I have questions. I am lucky to have Dr. Cockerham as my ophthalmologist.

I had my 1st appt with Dr. Cockerham and for the first time in a long time, I have hope! She took her time with me, gave me a thorough eye exam and wanted to understand what problems I was having with my eyes. Dr. Cockerham is an expert in her field of Ocular plastics; her pictures of before and after eyelid surgeries were fantastic! No scars and they all looked like they were born that way with her gifted hands after she performed surgery. My eye Doctor recommended I see Dr. Cockerham because “she really does wonders,” and my actual eyes were suffering from the lids not closing properly among other problems. I’m looking forward to putting her plan for my eyes in motion! Her office staff were also friendly and efficient!
