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.

Best surgeon ever

Rudest Doctor and most dismissive ever met
I wouldn’t take a street dog to see this physician. Beginning conversations was fine with physician. But when I wanted to know more details about his diagnosis and decisions for that treatment he became like a very angry said don’t question my advice I’m a doctor I explained him just want to understand very rude wants to just bill your insurance company for expensive procedures

Great Surgeon!
My doctor, James Thomasch, sent me to Dr. Kim regarding a tumor found on my kidney. I had two tests done both came up as renal malignant suspect. When I met with Dr. Kim, he was cute, friendly, patient, and very knowledgeable. He went over my CT scan images with me, explained everything clearly, and answered all my questions. After all, was said and done, we agreed to a robotic, partial nephrectomy surgery. I spent two nights in the hospital to recover. The first five days after surgery were very painful, but things started to get a little better. It's been five weeks since my surgery. I'm still sore and tender where the main incision is, but the wounds have closed and are healing nicely with no infections. Dr. Kim and his staff, and the nurses who cared for me, did a great job. They checked on me regularly and made sure I had everything I needed. The hospital food was good too. For anyone in need of a Urologic Oncology Specialist, I highly recommend Dr. Kim.

Dr Kim removed my prostrate two years ago. Dr Kim is the best. I have and will highly recommend Dr Kim. I’m completely back to normal. My PSA has remained at 0. Dr Kim’s personally and bed side manner only add to his expertise. He is by far the best Dr I’ve ever had.

Dr. Simon is the best surgeon that I have ever seen! I had a very large tumor on my kidney that other surgeons said was impossible to remove. Dr. Kim was not intimidated by it at all. He removed it expertly and I am doing fantastic. He is confident and competent. He was reassuring and made us feel completely at ease through the whole process. I highly recommend him and would completely trust him with any procedure going forward. He is a class act and one of the best things to ever happen to me!

Dr. Kim removed my cancerous prostate. I was 69 years old at time of surgery and it was the first surgery and also the first time I was ever put out. It was one of the easiest things I have ever been through. I owe it all to Simon he is the best. I would not be here today except for him. Thank You Simon my Man.

The attention and care Dr. Kim gives his patients is exceptional. Dr. Kim performed surgery on my father. He was attentive to the needs of both my father and the family. He was so concerned that my dad had his surgery, he stayed late to perform it when promised. Dr. Kim's dedication is unmatched.

Our urologist referred us to Dr. Kim. We were told he takes on really difficult cancers. What a wonderful and caring doctor. He performed a complex bladder cancer operation on me and I did great. He gave us his cell phone and asked us to call him if we had any problems or questions. There are very few doctors like Dr. Kim. He saved my life. I will be forever grateful to him.
