Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Thorough yet concise in her explanations; good visual aids in office; open to any and all questions. Very good surgical outcome. Personable, quick to laugh, but comes across as self-assured and competent. If someone HAS to peer into your pants, she's the one.

Dr. Kim is an excellent physician. She removed my gall bladder. When I met with her for the first time she made me feel relaxed. Her bed side manner is great and she’s very easy going. She answered all my questions and explained everything so thouroughly. She makes you feel important to her. The day of the surgery she stopped by before starting to say Hi and check if I was ok or had any questions. My procedure went well and she even held my hand as I was being put under.. definitely recommend!!

I am probably the worst patient a doctor could have, and I feel sorry for the ones that have to put up with me. Dr. Kim was so patient, and took the time to explain everything that was going on with me. She actually listened to all my fears, even silly as some of them were, and addressed them. She removed my gallbladder, and did an excellent job. I'm recovering nicely, and any time I have a concern, I can call her office and they get right back to me. Great personality?. Highly recommend?.
