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.
My visit with Dr. Edward Kim was a very pleasant experience. This was a routine eye exam. He listened well and his explanations or recommendations were clear and easy to understand. I highly recommend Dr. Kim.

Extremely thorough, friendly, caring, extremely knowledgeable. Before my cataract surgery there was lots involved because I had worn Boston semi hard contacts since age 16. I couldn’t wear them so the shape of my eye could go back to normal for a correct refraction so he could choose the best lens for me. He worked with my opticsion by cell phone to give us options so I could see during this process. He chose perfect multi focus lens that gave me distance, computer, close vision for 10 yrs

Dr. Kim is fantastic. I have been going to him for a few years now dealing with Sjogren's Syndrome that cause severe dry eyes and he is very good about trying different things until it works. He is professional and attentive which is great.

This office and Dr. Kim, Dr. Jacobs and theaters I have dealt with are as good as it gets. Incredible staff, well organized and the latest technology is available to care for your eyes. A truly new experience in eye care.
