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.

Dr. Shim has made my experience in his office comfortable. While he is my Dr. and we talk about my state of health I enjoy the chats we have about about subjects, which makes the visits more enjoyable. I appreciate how he asked me how i felt about him recommending me anything taking into consideration my concerns or questions.

My life was so unmanageable before. Never have I been so pleased with any physician. Dr. William shim actually listens and cares about your concerns and together with his patient helps to find the best course of action that actually make a difference. I have had doctors in the past tell me my problem was all in my head, that I could not be in the type of pain that I was describing. It is such a relief to finally have a doctor that is willing to find the source of my problem and together finding a course of action that works best for you. Thank you Doctor Shim!

Dr.Shim, Runs his office with NO help. One Man Show what a Joke, I would not recommend Dr. Shim to my House Pant! He needs to hire some help than maybe he could do his JOB properly and remember his Patients Name or Face . Find A Doctor who cares about 'YOU' not the Money No Bed side manner.
