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.

Dr. Kim has done wonders for me, I could not walk without a walker and that was very painful. After my surgery I was in no severe pain anymore and have been very well. I am so thankful to him and his nurse words can’t give them enough credit. I love them and recommend them to everyone that has any back pain at all. Thank you for giving me my life back!

Had herniated discs in my neck. Kim had me jumping through hoops and many different tests. 5 months later he said he could operate but with a 50 to 70% chance of helping me. Got a second opinion and the that Dr said it was obvious that I need fusions in my neck. He operated and my pain is gone. So I fooled around for 5 months in pain because Kim was reluctant to operate. Would not recommend.

Horrible bedside manner. Not too willing to help if the surgery that he performed does not work.

He was amazing. My back has not been this good since in 10-15 yrs. He cleaned up my scar tissue and tightened my old scars and it looks like I have only had one surgery instead of 5. I can not praise and thank him enough. You must follow his instructions and only do what he says you can and it makes a world of difference. I would recommend him to everyone in need of back surgery. I want to thank you again Dr. Kim, you and GOD were my miracle workers. GOD BLESS
