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.

After being diagnosed with possible lung cancer I was sent for a pet scan 20 days before my scheduled office visit. I called the office 3 times requesting results of the scan as I was very anxious about the results. Each time I was either told they would give Dr. Kim the message or he usually reviews results during visit. I told his staff please not make me wait the almost 3 weeks and Dr. Kim or anyone from his staff was sympathetic enough to give me a return call. I highly recommend you consider using a different more professional, more sympathetic surgeon. By thebway, A different Doctor called and reviewed my pet scan results within 24 hours and unfortunately I do have lung cancer and possibly tongue cancer which allowed me to immediately get an appt with an ENT doctor about my possible tongue cancer.
