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.

No Communication
She saw me when I was in the after having surgery. It was left to her when I would be released, I was in the hospital at least one day longer than necessary. The big thing is she spent no time in my room, told me nothing about her plan of treatment, I was totally in the dark. I found out she planned on sending me home with IV antibiotics when I called her office to tell her I wanted out. Never discussed it with me, if she had I’d have told her I had too many problems and lived too far away and would agree to that again. Her visits to my hospital room lasted no longer than 2-3 minutes. Would not recommend her.

She took me the same day I requested to be seen With an urgent infection. I feel she is pretty brilliant and knows her stuff. After one week I buy the treatment my symptoms are gone, 1 more week to go. I am very grateful to her and her staff.

She is why people don’t like or trust doctors
She doesn’t get anywhere near her patients. Staff is incompetent at best. Only recommends the most expensive and invasive treatments, one size fits all, even though they have not been proven to be any more effective than much less invasive treatments. But her clinic does provide in clinic infusions and take home infusions which makes her a lot of money . Shame on you doc

She's too busy messing with her phone to have a conversation with her patients. She runs an hour behind schedule. Not acceptable treatment at all.

Dr. Kima is not what I would consider as being hands on, she mostly sits behind her lap top, makes very little eye contact and rarely palpates or touches her patient.
