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. Charles O. Kim, Jr. came very highly recommended by my internist and gym friends. Within 24 hours, upon referral, Dr. Kim called on a Saturday morning to schedule a consultation for early Monday and his proactive stance was evident right from the outset. When the diagnosis confirmed a 7.1 cm malignant liposarcoma obstructing the right kidney and ureter, Dr. Kim pre-arranged with a general surgeon imminent surgery. On the day of the surgery, Dr. Kim’s presence in the operating room was reassuring. After the general surgeon successfully excised the tumor, Dr. Kim’s own brilliance and skill shone as he seamlessly reconstructed a replacement ureter, using the appendix, and saved my right kidney. Dr. Charles Kim is truly an amazing surgeon and his commitment to his profession is unparalleled. A caring and thoughtful thinker, Dr. Kim is extremely modest, and quick to give others credit. I found him to be a good listener and respectful of his patients. Thank you, Dr. Kim.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Kim?
I researched prostate surgeons thoroughly, with the help of a research urologist friend. I thought I would go to one of the recognized top 4 in the nation, since I had family and close friends near 3 of those 4 surgeons. Dr. Kim gave me no pressure, just clearly answering the many questions I had developed. His answers SURPRISINGLY changed my mind. The brilliant results, my treatment while in-hospital, and the follow-up care were world-class, by opinion of my friend. Much Aloha, Michael
