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.

It's hard finding a doctor like Dr. Lim these days
He's my primary doctor. He doesn't rush. He's thorough and he follows up. You leave your appointments feeling like you truly have someone in your corner. I wholeheartedly recommend.

I recommend Dr. Lim
It is hard to reach my primary at VMG and Dr. Lim was able to see me. He was prompt and thorough gave me the required prescriptions and necessary follow ups. Easy to communicate with as well. Not many like him these days so you are in very good hands with Dr. Lim.

We took my 87 year old mother to see Lim because she was suffering due to a fracure in her spine and a mole on her side. He did not even get her out of the wheelchair for examination. Told us the mole was nothing to worry about although it turns out it's squamous cell carcinoma so we delayed in treatment for four months. He also prescribed Oxy for her which did nothing for her pain, then suggested hospital admisison and NEVER ONCE followed up. Stay clear. He is worse than useless.

Dr. Lim is impossible to reach. Despite repeated calls, and having to go through many automated voice prompts, I have been completely unable to reach Dr. Lim, my primary care physician. Staff who respond (within 48 hours) is lower level assistants who usually are unable to give clear answers. Even these staff members acknowledge many complaints from patients unable to reach their own primary care physician. NAPC's goal seems to be to totally insulate doctors from phone contact with patients.
