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.

Great surgeon!
Great bedside manner, took time with us and never made us feel rushed. Professional, knowledgeable and caring. He even made us laugh which was very welcome at a stressful time. Husbands transplant went great. Incision was perfect.

Saved my life...Received a transplant with in a year and half after kidney failure. I am almost 7 years in without any issues ever and even my scar has faded.. Dr. Lim was with me every step of the way, from beginning (candidacy testing) to transplant and after. Providing the best care possible. He even gave me his personal cell number if any concerns or issues arose. Who does that? He is professional, knowledgeable, warm, understanding and patient, compassionate, and just brilliant in every way.
