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.

Consumate, excellent professional
Dr. Kim performed a very complicated and delicate surgery, fusing T6-10 due to Stage 4 metastatic breast CA. My wife is alive and walking. Thank you for many years of training and experience. I would highly recommend Dr. Kim to anyone needing neurosurgery!

Dr. Mark Barnard – Sep 06, 2022
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Kim?
A disgraceful horrible human being with no bedside manner whatsoever. I was shot and paralyzed through my rib cage, he performed a spinal fusion on me and left unnecessary bullet shrapnel in my body which caused me immense pain for a year and a half till I got a second opinion and a competent surgeon who removed the bullet shrapnel which relieved me of the suicidal pain I had experienced for 19 months. This man is a dangerous man, he proceeded to tell my family and I that would never walk again and that I had been shot through the stomach, when in fact I was shot through my rib cage, I asked him “did you even read my medical records?” It’s been 23 months since I was shot and I am almost walking again despite this horrible human being’s diagnosis saying I would never walk again. I wonder how many other people he has said that too and they believed him and they just gave up or committed suicide. This man is a smog, cold, narcissist. Stay away at all costs!

Pamela Foster in Mohnton, Pa. – May 04, 2017

I had severe sciatic nerve pain down both legs to the point of not being able to walk but a few steps without the pain forcing me to sit. Dr Kim performed 2 laminectomies. L3-L4; L5-S1. I spent one night in the hospital. I was sent home with the usual supply of pain killers, muscle relaxers , etc... BUT I NEVER TOOK ONE (NOT EVEN A TYLENOL) since I have been home. It has been 3 weeks and I have had no sciatic pain and nothing more than slight soreness around the incision. Excellent work!
