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.

More interested in his Computer than me
All he did was stare at his computer screen then hand me a photocopy of Quest Lab report to have labs done. Once labs were done, he again stared at his computer screen, and said labs look great see you in 3 months, and handed me another photocopied lab form.He did no manipulation of my joints, nor order any xrays or scans. Quality of care was ZERO

I saw Dr. Kim; years ago and he had no interest in me being his patient. I pray I never have to go back to him.

The language and culture barriers are almost insurmountable, but I'm stuck with Dr. Kim, because A.) Rheumatologists in Las Vegas are as rare as hen's teeth, and B.) he's the only one who accepts my insurance. But he's pretty awful.

I saw Dr. Kim 3 years ago because my doctor suspected rheumatoid arthritis. He was incredibly dismissive, refused to answer questions, told me I would never have kids because I'd had RAI treatment as a kid (this is inaccurate), only looked at my hands even though my symptoms were in my knees and ankles. He eventually told me I must want to be suck because I kept pushing. Fast forward three years, I have been diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis and have significant joint deterioration because of his refusal to acknowledge my symptoms and family history. This is a terrible doctor who should not have a medical license.

This doctor truly can care less for the people he treats. Every visit the lack of communication, doctor doesn't even look at the patient and not even reviewing the symptoms or issues. I have seen him for 2 years and changed my insurance due to a new job. My insurance company informed me he is covered but when I went to my scheduled appointment they told me they would not take me since their panel is closed. This doesn't mean anything to me as a patient. The doctor said he would not see me anymore and treated me like a new patient. He doesn't care for his patients to the point he will drop them. Terrible person, unloyal, and should not be in practice

What an insult and waste of time. My visit was awkward and uncomfortable. In my opinion he was cryptic, rude and unprofessional. He said a previous doctor's diagnosis was wrong but would not say why. When I asked for his opinion he said he was not God, but many people think he is God. Unbelieable! when I asled for his opinion

He was unprofessional. This was the first time seeing this MD. He made no attempt introducing himself. He has poor bedside manner. He explained nothing to me about my unknown ANA high value. He asked me very few questions. I informed him of my 24/7 unknown reason for my lower lumbar spine of 1 1/2 months pain. He made no comments as to why. He kept typing from the information given by my primary MD and the new patient paperwork from myself. When MD examined my lungs he did it incorrectly( I'm a registered nurse). He examined my skin and my hands with 2 edema without pain. i at present am being bitten nightly by bed bugs. I feel this is the reason for my ANA elevation and back pain. MD did state "all your labs are normal except the ANA which 25% of the population is elevated due to no reason. MD also did state " I don't think you have lupus".MD ordered labs for lupus and other rare diseases. MD told me "you don't need to make another appointment"!!!! I wouldn't recommend him to anyone

What an inconsiderate doctor. Went to him for over a year, broke out with some skin cancer due to humira weakening my immune system. He dismissed me as a patient, told me I had to see a pain management doctor. Now I just found out he never sent any of my records to my primary doctor. What a flake..

He was very quiet and awkward the whole time. He asked very little questions and made it a very uncomfortable visit. He also didn't explain his thinking or why he perscribed you a certain medication.
