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. Kim is an excellent doctor. When I was in the hospital, he thoroughly diagnosed my condition and treated it successfully. He was caring and forthcoming. He was by far one of the best physicians I have had. I truly appreciate his care and will continue to see him.

If I could I would give him negative stars! Sent to him from my doctor for infusions. It was already approved and all he had to do was do it. Well he insisted on seeing me then said he had to get authorization (That my other doctor already completed) Well weeks went by and he did nothing except leave me in major pain. They would not even return calls. Finally I changed infusion centers and they scheduled me the next day. Now if Dr. Kim was the last doctor on the planet I would not use him!

My brother had an appointment with Dr. Kim for a second opinion after being diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic colon cancer in which I accompanied him . I was extremely impressed with Dr Kim and his vast knowledge and resources. Dr. Kim was compassionate and took time to answer all our questions. I will definitely recommend Dr. Kim to my family and friends. My brother was so impressed with Dr. Kim that he changed from his current oncologist to Dr. Kim for his care and treatment.

Poor follow up practices. Staff always discombobulated not knowing what is going on. Team clearly sends a message of disorganization and confusion. Very disconnected with patients, not sure judgement can be trusted.

Very displeased with his lack of compassion and desire to inform the family when he treated my sister with stage 4 cancer. He was very insensitive to her emotions, pain, and concerns. He did not want to complete any forms pertaining to giving her quality care, ie..Prior Authorizations or just asking staff to check to see what her insurance covered, whether travel and hotel for a 2nd opinion. We called ourselves and insurance paid 100%. The worst experience I have had after 20 yrs working with dr
