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.

If you could get by on looks alone Dr. Michelle Kim would be a great doctor. However, it takes more than being pretty to be a good doctor. I found her to be impersonal. I was just another chart number. She barely looked at me during my appointment. At the end of my 15 minute visit for my annual eye exam she muttered a few words and left the room. This is definitely not the kind of service I deserve. I I don't plan pm coming back.
