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.

Through my own experience , I know Dr Kim is truly an experienced and skilled breast surgeon who clearly explained and answered all my questions with careful consideration of my feeling and special needs. She is an outstanding doctor who successfully removed all my DCIS with no pain and the scar is not visible. She is one of my favorite doctor who I trust, appreciate and love dearly. Highly recommend Dr Kim to anyone who needs an excellent breast surgeon specialist.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Kim?
My initial visit with Dr. Kim was most satisfying. She has a pleasant manner, very knowledgeable and willing to explain in language a layperson can understand. She was also open to my questions and having a family member present(with my approval) after the exam. I left feeling "secure" and confident knowing she would be taking care of me. Her staff was also caring, competent, and professional.
