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.

Listened. gave me ample time. Explained his reasoning.

I rarely write reviews, but in this case I'd be remiss if I failed to write Dr. Lim a review. This kindness and thoroughness were exceptional, far exceeding any expectations that I had. For being just one of many at the hospital today, Dr. Lim made me feel like I was his only patient. I'm running up against the character limit but Dr. Lim earns my highest recommendation.

I became a patient of Dr. Lim's recently. Having met many neurologists, I believe I am authorized to critique both his "bedside manner" and most of all, a knowledge unsurpassed in his field. This opinion is boasted by other neurologists who know his work and recommend him highly. When I left my appointment with him, I was most confident in his diagnosis. He is a young and well-equipped physician most able to handle issues with an open mind and the ability to think outside the box.

Dr. Lim was very kind to my son. He listened to him and he prescribed the correct medication. He has a good reputation from Lahey Medical Center in Burlington. He recognized right away what was the problem with my son even before the tests results had come in. At first I was worried about this but now I realize that he is really a good physician.
