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.

Very conscientious physician
I have been a patient of Dr. Kim's for almost a decade and she has always been available for questions. I highly recommend her.

Dr Kim fully addressed my concerns. She was aware of my history, test results nd medical issues. She devised a comprehensive plan and communicated next steps clearly. As a physician myself, I deeply appreciate her thoroughness and thoughtfulness. She is very pleasant, very professional and uber competent. Highly recommend.

Dr. Kim is very knowledgeable and takes time to explain various treatments and the pros and cons of each. It was a video visit and Dr. Kim was very accommodating when I had to reschedule. Very helpful in arranging infusion appointments with facilities (in and out-of-state) that would accept my insurance..

Does her research; effective

I have a rare endocrinology problem that can cause unusual issues in pregnancy. Dr Kim did thorough research into how it would affect me and my specific pregnancy, and has been effective at encouraging and enabling me to make the changes needed to have a healthy pregnancy.

I have been following Dr Kim's treatment plan for a few years already. Everything is good. Clearly states the imaging and labs to be done or skipped until the next appointment I trust her professional judgment.

I first saw her a year ago. She was wonderful. Caring, great bedside manner. I saw her again 2 days ago. She was brusque and impatient. Maybe she was having a bad day, but I was very surprised and pretty disappointed. I felt like she thought I was wasting her time.
