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.

How can I rate Dr. Kwak-Kim and her staff anything but 5 stars? I can't. After 6 miscarriages and years of suffering without answers, she finally provided the answers that countless other doctors and fertility specialists before her could not. Thanks to her work and treatment, I now have 2 beautiful and healthy children, ages 15 and 12. Forever grateful!

Dr.Kwak Kim and Margaret Sullivan are angels from God. I’ve always prided myself on being healthy, eating clean, and staying fit so when it came time to have a baby I didn’t know why I was having such difficulty. After 2 different endocrinologist, 3 failed IUI’s, 4 failed IVF’s w/ 8 embryos I knew there had to be another way. I found Dr.Kwak online. Her treatment plan really works however the IVIG is key. At first my insurance did not approve it but once they did, I got pregnant on my own without IVF. It might be an intense protocol with a ton of medication and other doctors will not agree with that sort of protocol however I am holding my daughter in my arms as I am writing this. Please block out the noise follow the protocol and take two deep breaths and relax because it works and I am a testament to it. Stay positive and don’t give up. If there is a will there is a way.

I started seeing Dr. Joanne Kwak-Kim in the late 1990s for unexplained infertility. My husband and I both had blood tests, we found we had a number of other immune system issues that were causing me to not stay pregnant. I was treated by her through 5 IVFs. Dr. Kwak-Kim is an MD of Immunology, Reproductive Endocrinology and and OB/Gyn. We have a 14 year old son now thanks to Dr. Kwak-Kim. She is a miracle worker.

I don't have enough words to thank Dr Kwak-Kim for what she has done for me!!!! I have a healthy baby boy with her invaluable help!!! In the past I've had 4 IUIs, 2 failed IVFs. After multiple tests for me and my husband all looked well, still after 5 years of trying to conceive, but no baby. Dr Kwak-Kim noticed my genetic and blood cloth issues. With her vitamin and medication protocol I got pregnant in 4 months. She extensively monitored me afterwards and recommended what to do!!
