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. Lim
He listens to all the health issues you are having and is very intelligent as what he needs to do. Like order tests or x-rays, or prescribe only the medicine that he knows will help. He cares very much about his patients

Dr. E. Lim gone?
Dr. Lim has been out of the office for months. I’ve seen Physicians Assistant rather than him with no explanations. He’s been my physician for years and has left without any warning. I feel my health has been put into jeopardy because of no communication. I am taking blood thinners and having issues. He was always there and I trusted him. But to not communicate leaving his patients in Limbo is very unprofessional. I would like to know what makes a healthcare provider whom you trust with your care think this is okay. He should have put our care in the hands of another physician before his departure. Now at 77 I find myself in this maze called healthcare, searching for a good primary physician and I know there are many more just like me, disappointed and confused. I wish I knew where he was practicing medicine or if he is. I would most assuredly make an appointment with him regarding my health. I trust his knowledge and care.

Pathetic excuse for staff. Useless, rude and can't do their job. Dr. Lim is never is the office to actually do his job. Cancels appointments constantly and doesn't care about patient's health. Go anywhere else but OSF.

Dr Lim takes time to listen to his patients and discusses throughly his assessment of health and any issues. Explains fully all treatment options.

I just had my first appointment with Dr. Lim and, for the second time in my life, I found a doctor who is really amazing. If you want to get in and out really fast you will be disappointed. But if you want an visit where the doctor has a detailed conversation with you about your health, habits, etc. he is the one for you. He's very thorough and is interested in your good health. Dr. Lim is at the top of my list.

Dr. Edison Lim is truly the best physician that I have had. He has been nothing but awesome as my physician. It is hard to find a professional who actually show that they truly care about their patients. I have recommended Dr. Lim to friends and co-workers who are looking for a quality physician.
