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.

She’s incredible
I had surgery with her Nov 7.,2024 . I had to make a huge decision on whether to have a hysterectomy then whether to keep the ovaries or not and she was more than patient and was willing to educate me to help me make the best decision for my body. Surgery went well and I am on the way to recovery . I wouldn’t trust anyone else !

I switched to Genesee Valley OBGYN during my pregnancy. The staff at Genesee Valley are amazing and are very thorough in the care you receive throughout pregnancy. They are all very kind and answer any questions or concerns you have quickly. They are always quick to respond regarding any testing or results of testing that may be done. Dr. Lim recently helped to deliver my beautiful healthy daughter. She was incredibly kind and patient and helped to make you feel at ease. It is truly evident how much she cares and I am very thankful for her help throughout my pregnancy and delivery. I highly recommend her and her care!!

Dr. Lim saved my life 22yrs ago. She was the on-call doctor and it was by the Grace of God she was there. I will never..ever go to anyone else. My daughters go to her and love her just as much!! She also was there for every birth of my children.

Would not recommend. I’ve seen Dr Lim twice now and will not be going back. First time spent 5 mins in the room for a relatively serious issue and upon follow up she brushed me off too. Billed for the wrong visit as well, which I had to fight through insurance since it was way more than it should’ve been.

I have been with Dr. Lim for 20 years. As a young doctor back in 2001, she got to the bottom of a rare condition I had. I will never forget her calling me at home at 9:30 pm after researching the issue tirelessly until she found a solution. Her persistence paid off. The result of her fix was a successful pregnancy. As a result, my daughter was born safely. She is now in college studying to become a medical professional, herself. Dr. Lim is one of the happiest, friendliest, and most personable doctors I've ever met. She is unassuming, has zero arrogance about her, despite her intelligence, and is actually enjoyable to visit with. She sincerely loves her job and genuinely cares about her patients. I couldn't recommend her more.

I would not recommend Dr Lim as my experience (removal of a large fibroid) was poor. It was supposed to be a fairly simple 2 hr surgery which turned into a 7 hr surgery because she did not realize the full size of it. I needed 2 blood transfusions after it was all said and done. And of course, she laid the blame on me, the patient, as the cause of it because I wouldn't take the fibroid reducing medicine beforehand (lots of nasty side effects). And she knew that all along.
