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 experience
Dr. Kim removed one of my kidneys last Friday. He was very clear and professional, and explaining the situation. he answered all of my questions . I was up walking around the same day as the surgery. I went home the next day. They gave me painkillers, but I didn’t really need them. . it was hard to get out of bed or a chair for the first day, but I felt significant improvement every single day. it’s now a week later and I feel pretty close normal.

Upon visit, I thought he was great. Little was I to know that he never wrote the Supporting Letter to get my elec. stim device, nor did he even provide the insurance w/anything at all, until Humana called him. Even then, he only sent visit notes, stating that I wanted the device, not that he was asking for an authorization for it. Then I discover his referral coordinator never even contacted the supplier of the device, though I received falsehood after falsehood from her saying she left them messages they never returned. The company verified she never contacted them, period. When Humana & I discovered the total dishonesty from him & his office, he proceeded to get me dismissed from his practice, & then had the further gall to tell my primary that it was rejected because it was "Not the standard of care." I find 30+ med journals & articles stating it WAS the Standard of Care after Pelvic therapy didn't work. Dishonest & deceitful as can be, plus his cover-up of it are despicable

Abused Patient – Jan 16, 2022
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Kim?
I was a regular patient at Northwest Urological Associates for a few years and experienced nothing but utter rudeness and a poor attitude from the front desk and the staff of Northwest Urological Associates. The only reason I didn't change doctors was because I didn't want to go through the hassle. Today, I only called to make my yearly exam and experience the same rudeness and poor attitude that I have for years. I decided not to deal with this anymore. I decided to change doctors.
