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.

This review is only about John J Kim. On the day I went to the eye clinic for my annual eye exam ( John J Kim was one of their ophthalmologists at that time )... After the O.T. finished vision tests. John J Kim came in the room. Even though I said hello, he didn't say a word. Quite rude! Bad attitude. Without any warning, he flipped my upper-eyelid upward abruptly, I was in pain and shock. Zero bedside manner. When he talked, finally, his tone was totally unacceptable! IMO, John J Kim is a mean and nasty person. Hope he'll have a taste of his own medicine soon... I subsequently contacted the eye care clinic where John J Kim was working for at that time, but found out that he's no longer working there. Now I realized that he is working somewhere else. So again, this review is only about John J Kim, the ophthalmologist.

Doctor calls me after his office hours to answer any questions I have of my upcoming surgery. He does not look at you as another body in his busy waiting room as he sincerely wants to help you get better.

He answers and explains all questions thoroughly. He has a sensitive nature and doesn't appear to be money motivated.
