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.

After waiting over a month to see what i was told was the so called best. As usual I get dismissed by a so called professor within the Houston Methodist group and simply because this so called surgeon thinks I may have scar tissue just because I've had other surgeries due to cancer, even tho there is no tests done to even see if i have scar tissue. Assumption is a fine line...I just wondwr how many other people this doctor has dismissed. Thank you for wasting my time and money

Dr. Kim, Leo, Libra and the rest of his team are wonderful. Dr. Kim performed a toupet Nissen Fundoplication on me in Nov, 2018 to repair a hiatal hernia and the remnants of a badly performed hernia repair surgery by a different surgeon 3 years ago. He has been very thorough, listens to my concerns, very caring and has a fantastic bedside manner. Leo (APN) has been great and has been there for me every step of the way. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND DR. KIM

Dr. Min Kim is highly skilled in the latest technology providing the least invasive surgery options. After having little options with local doctors intimidated to provide care for my large complex type 4 hiatal hernia, he was able to perform Robotic/Laparoscopic surgery without any complications. His advanced expert skills and his professional and caring demeanor make him a physician I confidently recommend to those in need.

I am 2 months post op from a Heller Myotomy for achalasia. Dr. Kim was incredibly professional and prior to the procedure and even recommended I meet with another surgeon in Houston to discuss a less invasive procedure. Ultimately I went when Dr Kim and the surgery was a home run.

Wait was almost 2 hours which I feel totally unacceptable. Surgery plan was unacceptable as much too aggressive. There were other possibilities for surgery and he took the most aggressive way which would have ended up with patient in more breathing troubles than am experiencing now. Going to get another opinion. Would not use Dr. Kim. He also ignored all my questions or gave very vague answers.
