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.

Definitely Not
Removed a skin cancer by excision, didn’t get it all. NO APOLOGY, just “I heard”. Bandaged with cream & cursory care instructions for two weeks. Infection ensued. My problem….2 weeks of antibiotic cream, then two weeks of corrective chemo cream therapy by me. Two weeks of waiting, THEN return to doctor to see if everything is okay. So I’m in pain & inconvenienced because she didn’t do her job & get all of the margins.

My 15 year old daughter had an appointment with Dr. Kim for hair loss. She didn't diagnose anything and wasn't sure about her "diagnosis". After I explained what happened prior to the hair loss, she recommended takinge Biotin, or if I was comfortable, my daughter can use Rogaine!!!! We ended up paying $135 for an unproductive visit.

I highly recommend this Dermatology office. Dr. Kim is an amazing Dermatologist she is knowledgeable, thoughtful and wants what's best for her patients. I wouldn't consider going to anyone else! I am so happy my doctor referred me to her! She took care of my acne, and I have never looked better. The office also has a friendly staff greeting you in the lovely waiting room. Dr. Kim is an A+ doc.

I have been looking for a practice where the doctors perform the Botox for you. I found Dr. Kim in Newport Beach and I must say..What a difference. I was so happy with my results, I can say my eyes are not uneven as they were when I used to have my Botox done at a Medispa. I am so thankful to have found Dr. Kim, she was very thorough on explaining the process. I will definitely be recommending her to my friends.

I have been seeing Dr. Kim for several years now. What I like about her is her thouroughness in explaining to me my treatment options. She is approachable and it is obvious that she has my well-being first and foremost on her mind. I would highly recommend her for any dermatology issues or concerns.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Kim?
I was quite disappointed with Dr. Kim's willingness to explain why I visited the clinic, her diagnose, and giving me the treatment that I needed as well as how the medication never really helped to begin with. It became clear to me that going to an ivy league school doesn't really matter. She gave me bunch of medications that didn't really work/expensive and she didn't really explain what they are for. Also, got the same exact meds I got from another provider 4 years ago. I won't be going back.
