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.

My revision rhinoplasty/septoplasty experience with Dr Kim was fantastic. The results are 100% natural looking and are exactly what we talked about in my consultation. The surgery was not an easy one, but Dr Kim explained what he would do in easy to understand terms; his extensive knowledge of the nose and his extensive surgical experience were evident in how he described the process. It was clear he had dealt with probably every situation related to rhinoplasty countless times and that I was in the best hands you could ask for. You don't want someone practicing on your face. I did a ton of searching for my revision surgeon. Most surgeons have mixed on-line reviews; Dr Kim doesn't and it's clear to me now why that is. Dr Kim is a specialist and I'm so happy with the result. I traveled from out of state for his services and don't have one regret. His team in his office and at the surgery center are fantastic; the whole experience start to finish was exactly what you'd hope.

Once I knew my breath was limited I wanted to make sure that I got it fixed right the first time. Dr. Kim was absolutely amazing. His whole team made me feel so comfortable from day one. They talked to me, shared their thoughts, addressed all of my concerns. Were very respectful of all my questions. For the surgery itself, they set very clear expectations of what they could guarantee given what they knew from pre-op vs unknowns that are found during time of surgery. My surgery was more complex than was anticipated. Hoever, I woke up and was 100% satisfied and have been since then. I had the pleasure of being one of their first surgeries after the shelter in place shutdown happened, and through the whole process I was so nervous about going and getting surgery at this time. But they took extra diligent care of me as they went through the new process the procedures. They were patient with me with my questions. I felt safe and knew I was in the best hands at all times, both with Dr. Kim

Dr. Kim is is a virtuoso of the medical world. An artist, an architect, and even a perfectionist as much as he can be. He strives for exceptional work but is realistic, which results in natural, beautiful work. He was my surgeon for my revision rhinoplasty. I now have a beautiful nose that fits my face but one that is also strong and natural.

Dr. Kim is an amazing doctor. I went to him for a rhinoplasty and septoplasty, and I could't be happier with the result. He really went the extra mile to ensure that I was comfortable and well-informed. He really is the best of the best, and I'm so happy with my new nose. Thanks Dr. Kim!
