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 Lim is very thorough and will find whatever is

Dr Nelson Lim is the best!
I would highly recommend Dr Lim. As a retired nurse, the way a doctor treats his patients is important to me, but the way he treats the staff is also important. We went to several gastroenterologists before finding Dr Lim. He is very patient in his explanations to patients and families. He follows up on his patients to be sure they are doing well. He is compassionate and kind. If you are looking for a GI doctor, you will not be disappointed.

Wonderful! He is thorough, explained what he found in both the colonoscopy and endoscopy performed in Mar 2021. His follow up telemed visit was enlightening and resulted in discussing high liver enzymes and what could be causing it. He immediately issued an order for an MRI & liver panel to coincide with my oncologist's bloodwork order. Dr. Lim is great at what he does but most importantly, he listens to my concerns and takes action. He has been taking care of me going on 5 years and I will continue to see him for anymore issues or procedures I may need. By the way, his assistant Hallie is great and professional too! The staff at the endoscopy center on the day of the procedure were and are the BEST! I highly recommend Dr. Lim and the group of individuals he works with.

I never actually got to see Dr. Lim. They make you book appointments online through ZocDoc but then they cancelled every appointment that I made to see him without any explanation or reason for the cancellation. I tried calling but they don't answer the phone. I can't stay on the phone all day while I'm at work. If you're going to offer online scheduling, you'd better make sure that process is a good one. ZocDoc was great about at least trying to resolve. It was the office that has the problem.

Dr Lim takes the time to listen to your concerns and will make sure to investigate all possibilities leading to the symptoms your are having. He seems to value your time by not making you come in for unnecessary follow ups and has an amazing bedside manner.
