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.

I had my knee surgery done by Dr. Donald Kim, and I’ve had no problems whatsoever. Yes the wait was longer than I expected but at least l was in the doctors office. But I was very pleased with my overall experience.

Has the rudest staff ever! I paid my $35 dollar deductible on 2/13/17 and I'm on my way to the bank to get a print out to prove it so they will stop harassment and billing. Had another appointment with them and they demanded a $265 co- payment I told them my co-payment was $35.00 and she said insurance said $200 and another $65.00 I said no that's not write I paid that she said to prove it. Then she said your wright you just pay us $96.00 and we are good. Would not trust them at all.

I tried to set an appointment 4 times and the 4 times I was put on hold when it was my turn The receptionist hangup on me. I tried to explain to her that I already been on hold for 46 minutes she said you have to wait for your turn. Totally rude and unprofessional. I wish I would it met Dr. Kim as he is probably a very good Doctor. Eric
