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.

Role Model of a Good Doctor
I have the utmost respect for Dr. Cho Rok Kim and her incredible expertise in her field. Her experience is evident in every aspect of her work—she approaches diagnostics with great attention to detail and ensures that no important factor is overlooked. Her efficiency and ability to get straight to the point are qualities that make her stand out as an exceptional doctor.What many people may not immediately understand is that her direct approach is not rudeness but rather a reflection of her dedication to providing the best care possible in the most time-effective manner. To truly appreciate the value she brings to her patients, it's important to recognize that her no-nonsense style is simply her way of prioritizing what matters most: your health and well-being. Once you understand her culture of care, you'll see how deeply committed she is to helping people and delivering results.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Kim?
Dr. Kim is very thorough in examining her patients. She sometimes speaks fast but I never felt rushed or not respected. I’m very satisfied with her care as I want to know the exact cause of my illness and symptoms when I get sick. I was impressed when the necessary referrals and tests were ordered so efficiently that I was able to get tested and seen by the specialist when I was still experiencing symptoms. It was a very positive experience that I could appreciate as it is not unusual for patients to wait for long, perhaps too long, before getting seen by a specialist with all the necessary test results in our current healthcare system. I would highly recommend Dr. Kim for a primary care physician.
