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 Doctor
I have been seeing Dr Richard Kim since 1998 for colonoscopy's. I just had my 6th one yesterday. My mom passed from colon cancer in 1997 and I have been getting them regularly. Dr Kim is the nicest caring Doctor through out the whole ordeal from the prep to the recovery room. He always answers any questions and worries I or my family have and takes such good care of me that I don't feel any anxiety. I know he does his job professionally and looks out for me and checks so thoroughly so I remain in good health!

Fantastic Doctor
I have been seeing Dr. Richard Kim for about 6 years now. He's a phenomenal GI. He not only treats me as a patient but also cares like an older brother would. He's very thurroufh with his instructions, directions of how to take medicine and diet. He's also very good and calm manured. His work with his scopes are phenomenal as well. He also takes the time to explain what he found/funds carefully. His brother Frank also works with him at the same practice and he's just as caring. I highly recommend Dr. Kim. Either of them are a good choice.

I have nothing bad to say about my experience at this practice or with Dr. Kim. The attention and care I received was top notch. I would highly recommend anyone going to this practice. As I was sitting in the waiting room, I found it very relaxing to sit and look at the birds flying around in the cage they have along the wall.

Dr Kim was excellent. He came into my room before my colonoscopy and sat in a chair beside me and answered all of my numerous questions. He’s very kind, compassionate & thorough. I’m so grateful he found and removed a precancerous polyp. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him.

I've quite literally never encountered a ruder, more awful person - let along healthcare provider. It's a sin he works with patients as a living. Do yourself a favor and never ever leave your health or the health of a loved one in his care.

My sister has NASH which was diagnosed 1 1/2 years ago. She has had several blood infusions at that time, (1 1/2 years ago) where she came across Dr Kim. Since that time, she has gone down hill incredibly. Every time she has called his office, she was told to contact her pcp. Now after calling his office several times because she was getting so weak and falling multiple times, her son took her to the hospital last night where she is receiving 6 pints of blood. That's right. 6 pints. How could this of happened? Basically she had no blood left. Beware of this Doctor. As I find out, you can live a pretty good life with NASH for many years. In her case no plan was put in to place. Why is this?
