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.

Great appointment!
Very thorough examination and explanations from Dr. Lim and Yolanda.

Good doctor!
I am very pleased with Dr. Lim and his staff. My surgery went smoothly. I was nervous before that but the staff's friendly and helpful attitude calm me down before the surgery. Thanks.

My experience with Dr. John Lim was excellent.
Dr. Lim was very honest and helpful in describing ways to help my eyesight due to having cataracts in both eyes. He was friendly, professional and caring. His office staff made me feel very comfortable and they were caring as well. Yolonda was very detailed when I asked questions, which was very helpful to me. The cataract right eye surgery I received was a great experience and I look forward to going back to have my cataract left eye surgery very soon. I am a very satisfied patient.

Very impressed with Dr Lim
He's very knowledgeable. Presented clear explanations. Recommended a self treatment plan that should solve my issue. No one else had recommended this approach before. Highly recommend.
