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.

Caring and goes out of her way
The office was able to fit me in quickly for an appt after being seen in the ER for a kidney stone. After reviewing my CT, Dr Kim said I wouldn’t be able to pass it. She added me to her OR schedule 3 days later so I could recover before going to Hawaii for spring break. Was able to enjoy our family vacation without pain or having to pass broken up stone fragments. So grateful for Dr Kim

Would not return nor recommend
I had anticipated a good appointment with her. I was hopeful. She quickly dashed any hopes I had for finding a fit for myself here. I had a truly negative appointment a year ago with a red headed male doctor here. She is not the doctor for you, if you want to be heard for Interstitial Cystitis, as a woman. Many in this field feel it is the same as OAB which it is not. She is in that school of thought. No bedside manner, completely closed off. Maybe they are corporate owned and are treated badly themselves. I’ve been to many Urology & Urogynocology Doctors as I’ve moved quote a bit. Still searching in this Portland, area but have recently been given great referrals by a great Gyno. Keep trying! Stay strong and move on if you have IC.

Glad to find good surgeon
Positive experience with Dr. Kim and office staff, who answered questions about options and left me confident about surgery. Only a short wait to schedule the procedure. Minor error with post-op date, but quickly corrected. Oregon Clinic location is convenient, with easy parking.

Poor bedside manner and dismissive. Won’t return.
The appointment with Dr. Kim was one of the worst I have ever had. I was referred to her as I have had recurrent symptoms for an extended period. I am extremely disappointed and angry about the experience for the following reasons: she was dismissive, contrary, and generally portrayed a very I don’t care attitude; she expressed an exasperated, heavy sigh when exiting the room, as if she was annoyed or we were wasting her time; she refused to consider all of the symptoms and do testing to definitively rule out possible causes; she acted as if she knew it all and didn’t have time to listen to my husband or I; she didn’t examine me, just made her assumptions and based her entire course of action on those assumptions; she didn’t review my current meds before prescribing new ones. It is sad, frustrating, and disheartening to have a doctor that is lacking in bedside manners and common decency. I will not be returning or referring anyone else to her.

Highly recommend
I highly recommend Dr. Kim. I went to her after going to another urologist who rushed me through my appointment, gave me few options, and didn't seem invested in my care. Going to Dr. Kim was like night and day. She was easy to talk to, listened to my concerns, explained options, switched a medication I wasn't tolerating well, and had me come back in one week for a voiding trial, which was successful. (The other doctor wasn't going to do the trial for 3 weeks, so I would have had to struggle with a very uncomfortable catheter for two more weeks.) I'm very grateful I found Dr. Kim.

She made me feel comfortable and explained options for treatment of my conditions. She is also well informed about the avainable medical treatments and warned me of a medication another doctor had given me which had negative warnings.

Dr. Kim, is outstanding. She made me feel more like an active partner in My own treatment rather than just a patient. She made it clear that I would be in treatment for as long as I live, unless I chose not to be. I like that matter of fact attitude and I will continue with her and her staff for as long, as long may be. Thank you Dr. Kim and staff. Your professionalism is greatly appreciated.
