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.

He is willing to listen and explains all aspects of your issues thoroughly. Very pleasant and shows compassion towards his patients.

Dr Kim is a special lung cancer specialist in Corona. When I found out about tumor, saw a specialist. Dr Kim did the biopsy and saved my life with early cancer detection. He is very special and exceptional.

While my father came to Dr. Kim for his COPD, Dr. Kim treated the whole patient and patiently explained the COPD treatment options in the overall context of dad's other health issues. Unlike many medical specialists these days, Dr. Kim took the extra time to answer all of dad's questions. As a result, I have already verbally recommended him to several people, and I am happy to do so in writing now. Thank you so much Dr. Kim for the outstanding care that you provided to my father!
