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.

So thankful for Dr. Kim
I was referred to Dr. Kim for problems in my right shoulder and both hips. He listens intently and responds to any questions I have. I needed a shoulder injection and his staff worked quickly to get the approval. I will see him again soon for his expert care regarding my hip pain.

I think he recommended a measure that was kind of unnecessary. It was like taking an extra and another can be an extension. So, it was just like I took it anyways but I didn't think it was necessary for us to find like the condition that I had. That's all.

We had a great experience, the only complaint was that there was a loooooong wait in the room for the Doctor to see him. our appointment was at 10, but he wasn't seen by the doctor until almost 11.

The Fellow and student were very friendly, yet respectful, when they came into the room to speak with me before calling in Dr. Kim. When he came in the examination room, I asked some questions about the procedure which he answered to my satisfaction and when he started the procedure, he told me what to expect each time. This was very helpful and I was able to relax.

Dr. Kim was nice, knowledgeable and kind. He would be better if he could be much friendlier and was a little bit smiley since I was not feeling well at the time of visit. Thanks!

I was very happy and glad that I could make an appointment on October. It was not sports related but wanted to see Dr Brian Kim since my wife saw him while ago for knee injury.
