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.

Dr Kim always explains things very well and keeps me on a good schedule of visits and test to manage my eye health.

Very comfortable with his expertise
I recently had cataract surgery and had stents put in for glaucoma. I could not be happier with my results. My vision is excellent, because of the glaucoma, I decided to have the Custom Vision lenses implanted. I knew I would have to wear reading glasses but am very happy to say that is a minimal requirement for me as I am reading very well without them most of the time. In addition, had my pressures checked today and they are the lowest they have been in years. Dr. Kim and Dr. Gallagher make a great team. I highly recommend them.

Glaucoma care
Dr. Kim has treated me for glaucoma for four years. During office visits he is very patient and explains everything thoroughly. He is knowledgeable and when he performs a procedure I completely trust that it will be done correctly.

Re: office visit and after care instructions.
He was very educated person and well knowledgeable Dr. But after my visit I had hard time getting hold of the office personal. I was not given any instructions in regards to storing one of my eye drops in the refrigerator. Have called multiple times with not much success. Have very difficult time due to my current vision problem to even dial someone. Hoping someone will reach me after seeing this review. I was told I would be given instruction in regards to how to get my eye drops refilled. But I was not given any such instruction.

Staff was thorough,kind, very professional but very patient as they prepared me for surgery. Very long wait before surgery though. So thankful for Dr. Kim's expertise in giving me back incredible eyesight. He has great knowledge of glaucoma and cataract surgery. Glad I am living in Florida. Three people recommended Dr. Kim to me. Thanks

Appreciated the Efficiency, CLarity, and Staff too
I wanted to see a true glaucoma superstar, and was not put off by the couple of comments I had read about personality..I really really liked how thorough and professional the entire staff was, I valued the clarity and straightforwardness of Dr Kim... as I want stellar expertise and experience. I left feeling well cared for and with the right and throrough follow up. Felt reassuring and confident that I had seen the right doctor.

Initial Visit
Dr Kim was at somewhat of a disadvantage for this first appointment as the records from my prior doctor had not been forwarded as yet. He was very direct in his preliminary assessment of my situation, perhaps making sure that I understood where I am and what May have to be considered going forward. Another appointment is scheduled for a month from now to run additional tests and review my previous information.
