Dr. Kyong Kim, DO

Dr Kim doesn't know how to deal with patients ..Stay away from him

I have been in a wheelchair for 22 years, it is fair to say I have met a great number of doctors. I walked out of my appointment with Dr. Kim in under six minutes. 'Rude' does not do the man's behavior justice.

Been seeing dr Kim over 10 years. He is amazing. He cares about his patients and the staff is all great !

Dr. Kim and his staff have treated me with the utmost kindness and consideration. I appreciate the valuable advice and treatment that he has provided to me. Dr. Kim is an outstanding doctor.

He was not as bad as everyone is saying. I think people interpret his behavior as non caring, when it is just a cultural difference.

I have been a patient since 2011 for failed back surgery. Didn’t actually see dr Kim for a year and a half after being in the er and at that time dr Kim first words was “are you seeking attention?” Turned out I had two autoimmune diseases. Every 3 to 4 months there is a new dr so they never get to know the patient. After not seeing Kim for well over three years,“ because another dr left”, I was told I tested positive for an illegal drug and was released. It’s a false positive, He didn’t care.

Check out other sites for reviews of this doctor. His sense of self has changed dramaticly, from the time he published his biography. I have been under pain management since 1994. NEVER, EVER, from ANY doctor, have I been treated so rudely. No smile, no handshake... just a preconceprion, that I was not worth treating. His examination, was long and excruciating. My body was throbbing for days. He doesn't have a clue about Adhesive Arachnoiditis. He was just mean!

Dr. Kim was never in the office a Dr. Vo who was new was doing the treatment. Dr. Vo was doing the best he could. However the policy of waiting two weeks before I was accepted and then two more weeks for a face to face appointment and then two more weeks before my injection, was unbelievable. Then my records were lost and I was billed for cost that were not authorized by my insurance which took a month to resolve. This office is the worst medical office I have ever visited in my life.

Dr. Kim is an extremely knowledgeable physician, who naturally is going to be cautious with new patients seeking medication. After the initial evaluation and proceeding to therapy he is very gentle and kind. His procedures have been virtually painless, from epidurals to IV's to refilling my pain pump. I highly recommend him and his staff.

I had come from Seattle Pain Center, which was closed in July, and I have legitimate chronic pain-from chronic pancreatitis. I also have a pain pump in my abdomen which dispenses medication. His manner is very cold and I was treated as if I am an addict, which I am not. Has an attitude of distrust, is operating out of fear. I am not the only person who came from Seattle Pain Center who was treated this way. Requires a psychiatrist appt. for treatment. Do not recommend.

I have seen Dr Kim for over 7 years. He has helped me to open my mind and change my thoughts on chronic pain. He doesn't want patients addicted to pills. He is a very kind man who is serious about his profession and is dedicated to helping people. I can't explain in words how dr Kim has helped me and my family. Kyleen blank
