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 is an excellent Gynecologist!

Dr. Kim is quite good and very communicative. He is also very knowledgeable. Because he is good he has many patients so time allotted to talk to him is limited.

I could tell there was a medical suggestion that he didn't agree with, but since it's a future decision, I appreciated that he explained his point of view then said we can revisit the subject. I felt he was good at explaining the procedure before and during.

Dr Kim has a great way of explaining difficult concepts to help me decisions about the best forward. My health concerns do not fit into the normal range so it requires "out of the box" thinking. Dr Kim has done a great job with thinking through options with me. I am hopeful that my future procedure will go well with the care that Dr Kim has paid to details and preparation.

C-section
Dr. S Kim was very good, attentive and caring for my delivery in C-section for my baby and his team as well to make our miracle of life to be here with us. Thank you so much for him and his team to perform a great job on the surgery on our baby’s birth. My husband and I really recommend him and his team for any family out there to make your miracle of life to come true.

Dr. Kim and the Cedars OB/GYN team have been my doctors for two pregnancies and I could not recommend them more! All of the doctors are so professional, warm, and caring. They are very quick to respond to any questions and take time during appointments to make sure your needs are met. During both pregnancies, I saw a different doctor in a different network during the first trimester and the difference in care was very apparent. If you want to feel supported and cared for during your pregnancy, Dr. Kim and the other doctors in this office are for you. With my second pregnancy, I had to be referred to a specialist who was within the Cedars network and the care was also above and beyond and the doctors worked seamlessly together so that I never felt like one didn't know what the other was doing. This office is an exceptional option if you have an HMO and want to keep everything in one organized network with access to amazing physicians.

It was my first time meeting this doctor, but he was very friendly, and courteous. He introduced himself professionally, explained the different possibilities and outcomes to my last minute emergency surgery. He answered all the questions my mother and I had to the best of his ability, and spent a good amount of time with us, making sure we felt calm about the surgery I would undergo. Overall I would highly recommend this doctor.

Great Doctor and great group in this office. They are all patient and will take the time to answer all of your questions, not to mention follow up with you when you call or email in a timely fashion.
