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 medical experience

Dr. Kim made each visit a pleasure. His knowledge in hand issues was excellent. The entire staff was responsive and always upbeat. I was often escorted to a room within minutes of appointment time and on my way in 30-40 minutes. Dr Kim made the visit comfortable with is dry sense of humor. One of the better practices I experienced in 70 years.

Executes to the Standard of Excellence
I experienced a patch of melanoma requiring facial surgical removal and multi visits to repair the two inch by one inch deep hole on my nose. There are no guarantees in plastic surgery particularly when you damage skin almost a full inch deep. Dr. Kim did a phenomenal job getting my nose back. I am only 2 months into healing but Kim and his team could not have done any better.

Realistic and Caring
Dr. Kim is honest with whether a cosmetic surgery will yield the results of what your described expectations are. He will or won't recommend a surgery based on your particular body or skin type.

I highly recommend Dr. Kim
I have had two procedures done by Dr. Kim and I can't praise he and his staff enough for their professionalism, kindness and bedside manner. Dr. Kim called me before my procedure to see if I have any questions or concern, and he then called after the procedure to see if I was okay. I highly recommend Dr. Kim for your plastic surgery procedures.

Wonderful Dr. and staff
I had a lipoma removed from my back 2 weeks ago. Dr. Kim was able to do it under local anesthesia and the result was great. The office staff is wonderful and Dr. Kim was very kind and explained everything perfectly. I highly recommend his practice.

Surgeries with Dr Kim
I have had 2 procedures done with Dr. Kim. Breast reduction and arm lift. The first time I met him he made me feel so comfortable. He puts youAs the patient first insuring you have all the knowledge you need before committing to the surgery and are comfortable with everything. He calls before your procedure and after. He has a great sense of humor and when the nurse couldn't get an IV in my hand he did it himself. What Dr does that? You will be so pleased if you decide to choose Dr. KIM for your procedure.

Transformation
Dr Michael Kim and his entire staff are absolutely wonderful. Dr. Kim transformed my body within a few hours. It started with a few consulting appts where dr. Kim explained every thing that was going to happen in great detail. After the procedure, Dr. Kim and his staff took care of me and made sure I was healing properly and continued to answer any questions I had. I would give them 10 stars of allowed. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Implant Removal
Dr Kim is straight to the point; he understood the assignment and it was a quick/easy process. The entire staff in the building was friendly and on top of it. Gentle nurses that care and a Dr who did an amazing job removing my implants, removing scar tissue, and did a great job with stitching it up. Highly recommend using this office and doctor.

Brilliant and caring
Dr Kim recently performed a lower facelift for me and I can not be more pleased. There was swelling, but it went away within weeks so that I was able to go on a girl's trip. One of my friends commented on how young I looked. Not only is Dr Kim a brilliant surgeon, but he is kind and considerate and takes the time to answer questions and follow up with you until he is sure that you are completely satisfied with the results.

I have been going to Dr. Kim since 2012, he is the greatest and very good at what he does. If you don't need a procedure he tells you that. I can honestly trust him and would recommend him to everyone.

Very Satisfied Paient
Dr. Kim did a lower face lift on me. I'm 74 years old and had large jowls around my mouth and extra skin under my chin, I called it my turkey neck.I am now 6 months out from my surgery and I am totally satisfied with the results! My friends and family tell me I look 10 or 15 years younger. And it looks very natural, not tight looking, everybody says I look great!!I absolutely recommend Dr. Kim. He and his entire staff made me and my husband fell like we were important and not just another patient. They are very professional, caring and friendly!

Went in to have keloid removed and I was very impressed from the very beginning. Dr Kim is very compassionate and made me fill very comfortable, not to mention the excellent job he did. I can't say enough about his team who is efficient, professional, compassionate and who's main concern was the care and comfort of the patient, way to go ladies, you rock.
