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.

Beware!! Do not have surgery by Dr Kym or this office. I had to use another Dr to have two more surgeries from Dr Kym messing up badly. Office staff are very very unprofessional. Honestly use another orthopedic Dr. You will wish you did.

After seeing several specialists throughout the northwest I was beyond grateful to finally find a spectacular surgeon who would end years of hip pain. Dr. Kym is a very down to earth and personable surgeon who listens and who explains information in a way that makes sense. He is also patient to answer all questions you may have. I highly recommend Dr. Kym and his wonderful staff. He has changed my life and I can’t be more thankful.
