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.

Appointment with Dr. Lim Today, March 29, 2024
Telehealth
The visit was excellent. Dr. Lim was pleasant, direct, and very informative. It turned out that I had nothing to worry about given my recent blood work and abdominal ultrasound, and he advised of that promptly. We also discussed follow-up measures (like avoiding statins) and the call ended with him telling me I needed nothing further from him. I would certainly recommend Dr. Lim without any reservation whatsoever.
