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.

Rare combination of excellence
Dr. Kim has that rare combination of excellence in both interpersonal skills and in medical knowledge/ability. The communication from her and all of her staff was consistently thorough, respectful and compassionate. I only wish my family members from other states could travel here for her expertise. I am one of those very anxious, over-cautious and emotional patients but I was always in good hands with Dr. Kim.

Highest Praises. After having had radical kerotomy 4 times 30 years ago catarac removal was potentially problematic a d the degree of difficulty was greatly increased. Dr Kim urged postponement reoeatedly for over 10 years. Surgery could not have gone more smoothly. In a d out in under 2 hours total time. Surgery was completed in less than 15 minutes. I could have had it performed free of charge through VA benefits. So glad my confidence in Dr. Kim was so handsomely rewarded. I could not be happier. Seeing well 2 days after surgery. Do yourself a monstrous favor. Discard your apprehension. See her. You will be glad you did.

Dr Kim should have Five stars. I was so afraid and she made me feel so comfortable and reassured. Very kind , confident, and I knew I was with the best. I will have her again. She made me feel safe and my surgery went perfectly. She is everything you are looking for if you are having this surgery! Thank you Dr Kim!
