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. Kim performed a delicate surgery removing radiation necrosis from my 52 year old sister’s brain. Due to her health from fighting stage 4 melanoma, this surgery had to be rescheduled 4 times. This was very frustrating for our family. Dr. Kim showed great compassion, explained everything to us in great detail, and even adjusted his surgical schedule to try to get the surgery done. When my sister was finally healthy enough to have the surgery, Dr. Kim shared in our joy. We knew he was equally as excited as we were to finally get this done and give my sister a chance to have quality of life again. I can’t say enough to express our gratitude and appreciation for Dr. Kim. During this long dark journey with stage 4 cancer, he provided us with security and hope again. He recognizes the person within the patient. I would definitely recommend working with Dr Kim should you find someone you love in need of neurosurgery.

Dr. Kim is an outstanding, intelligent and professional doctor. He is very caring. Our concerns were his concerns. He took his time to answer all of our questions. He is a very genuine and kind-hearted person. My son was a trauma patient and came in on an emergency basis. I thank God everyday for having such an intelligent pediatric neurosurgeon readily available. As scary as the situation was, I trusted in Dr. Kim 100%. I can tell he genuinely cares about his patients.
