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.

Excellent doctor.
Dr. Kim is thorough and professional. I have been seeing him for approximately twelve years. I have had a specialist tell me that I was lucky to have Dr. Kim notice a marker that may have gone unnoticed by many other doctors. I feel confident that I can talk to him and get his professional opinion and undivided attention at addressing any issue as I get older. i am happy to have him as my PCP.

I have been Dr. Kim's patient for over a year now and I am extremely happy with the care I receive. Dr. Kim is thorough in his questioning and his assessments, his staff is very helpful, and I always receive a quick response to questions. During COVID, it has been easy to get a video visit and the referrals that have been provided have been extremely helpful. I am very appreciative for Dr. Kim and his staff.

I have been Dr. Kim's patient for 4 1/2 years. He is always prompt, takes his time with me, and explains things in a very thorough manner. I consider myself very lucky to be his patient.

I went there due to my low pulse rate. I was diagnosed with First degree AV block. Dr. Kim said it was not of concern, and it requires no treatment at this time. That was reassuring. I found his exam thorough, and felt total confidence with this physician.

He was very thorough. It was the best comprehensive visit for my health ever. I am completely satisfied with his care and would highly recommend him for care.He is very professional and knowledgeable about his profession.His family medicine training at the University of Washington was exceptional. I was somewhat worried about my care in the past but not after the first visit with Dr Kim. I lucked out scheduling an appointment with him.

Dr. Kim is my primary care physician. He seems very thorough and knowledgeable. A little lacking in bedside manner, a little brisk with his time. Getting an appointment can take a couple of weeks. Staff is very friendly and competent. Wait time in office is always minimal.
