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.

Horrid
Horrible. Wish I could give zero stars. Will reference weight and when you request him to not, he will laugh. Does not listen and has horrible bed side manner. DO NOT GO WITH HIM AT ANY COST.

I saw this doctor for an adrenal issue, and he was very nice then. I developed a thyroid nodule that was found during a different exam as an incidental find. It was at that moment when I was referred that he appeared to see nothing but dollar signs. I got the ultrasound to confirm, and he tried to pressure and rush me into a biopsy that I didn't want. The hospital made a mess of my ultrasound, and when I asked for a new ultrasound sound, no one could help me, and I was on my own. It's his way or the highway. They are greedy, and if they find out your insurance will pay, they will run up all kinds of tests to get more money out of you. I was told in. my radiology report that I don’t need any additional follow-up for my adrenal gland cyst. When I saw him about two weeks after that test, he scheduled an MRI to “check up” on it. They don't care about you and will schedule appointments for you without bothering to call you. I would not waste my time with this doctor or MUSC endocrinology. You can find better care somewhere else.

awful
bad bedside manner. Copied and pasted Dr notes for 3 years. No confidence in diagnosis.

I had been seeing Dr. Kwon for my cancer and PCOS. Once the cancer was removed, he no longer cared to help me with my hormone imbalances (PCOS). In my appointment, he was constantly interrupting me and blaming me for my issues. He wasn’t listening to what I was explaining and he eventually kicked me out and said he wasn’t going to be my doctor anymore. He “couldn’t help me” and referred me to his female client claiming “she might have more compassion for you”. He also told me to “stop yelling at him” when I was crying and calmly trying to explain my health issues. Very unprofessional comments made about my body as well. If you have the choice, choose anyone but him.

He was ok . I think there was trouble with communication on my part , very difficult to understand. Not willing to consider other opinions. It’s his way or nothing . Won’t go back

If I could put ZERO stars I would. Do NOT waste your time. This doctor is BEYOND rude, arrogant and insensitive. To be told, “you can have good lab results or feel good but you can’t have both” and to be told “you’re not Superman, if they ever create a pill that will turn you into Superman I’ll take it first then call you” is unbelievably irresponsible!! I didn’t drive over an hour to be insulted and offended. I just want help. He is AWFUL
