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.

Dr. Kim is the greatest doctor.
I was diagnosed with stage 3 esophageal cancer and Dr. Kim performed a transhiatal, minimally invasive esphagectomy on me in March of 2023. He is an excellent surgeon as well as a kind and caring human being with the best bedside manner. His nurses, physician assistants, and secretaries are also very wonderful. I couldn’t have ask for a better doctor. I am so grateful for Dr. Kim and his staff for saving my life and will never forget him. The world needs more people like Dr. Kim.

Great surgeon
My time with Dr. Kim was excellent. He is a great surgeon - minimally invasive hernia repair and fundoplication. My initial visit he spent time explaining the procedure and how my surgery would proceed. He followed up with me in the hospital and his staff is very comforting and helpful. My final visit was delayed and delayed due to my health issues and the office staff was amazing in rescheduling, etc.
