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.

Stay away from Dr. Kim at all costs
Stay away from Dr. Kim at all costs. I was diagnosed with an ovarian cyst in urgent care prior to my appointment with Dr. Kim, which was a follow up about a month after my diagnosis. She came into the examination room and immediately began to undermine my pain and cyst. She has an aggressive demeanor and is not empathetic whatsoever. In fact, she never asked how I was feeling and if my pain had improved. She waived off ovarian cysts as being something I needed to wait and tough out, which is advice she would give me if I 'were her daughter' which felt condescending.I have had recurring ovarian cysts for about 6 years, first diagnosed by UCSF's gynecology department. So I am very familiar with what happens after getting diagnosed with a large cyst. Dr. Kim insisted that I do not need any follow-up, including no ultrasound. She said that I'm just 'extra sensitive' to the pain and that most women wouldn't complain... to which I replied that the cysts affect my daily life and can be so p

Didn't like that she was disparaging of another obgyn because she said he was too 'holistic.' So he's a well respected doctor and because he believes in vitamins he's not to be trusted and it's ok to trash him? Also she showed up to first appointment in khaki booty short and open dr's coat. Very unprofessional. I'm surprised there's no dress codes for Doctors...

This is my first pregnancy, and Dr. Kim has been an amazing Doctor! My mother recommended that I see her since she is also her doctor. I am very happy with her and trust her very much!
