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.

Blamed me for him not doing his job
Had a procedure done(2 years ago) where the referring doctor had stated what procedure I needed done, and what needed to be looked for during that procedure. I spoke with Dr.Kim about 2 minutes when he came in the room before I was administered anesthesia. After things were done and Dr. Kim was going over results with me, I asked about one specific thing he was supposed to check for. He said, “you didn’t tell me I was supposed to look for that!” As if in the 2 minutes I spoke with him I should have listed everything he was to look for. That’s his job as a doctor to read my chart and have full knowledge on what he needs to do. I was appalled that he would say that to me. He put in for a blood test to check for the same thing, which is not nearly as accurate of a diagnostic tool. I would not recommend this doctor for your procedure, as he clearly doesn’t have the time to do things properly for you.

I am very pleased with the care I received from Dr. Kim -- thorough, kind, and extremely knowledgeable. I would heartily recommend him and the staff at St. Luke's North for anything gastro related. Dr. Kim and his staff made an unpleasant procedure effortless and painless. I felt very much at ease. I will definitely go back to him if the need arises.
