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.

Really nice doctor!
I liked how he listened to everything I said and answered everything. He's very nice and I felt he cared about his patients. Most doctors now don't want to interact with their patients. Just in and out.

Is this a joke? Because…it’s not funny…
Dr. Thomas Kim in my most humble opinion is absolutely horrible at best. He could have cared less. Not at all personable. Came across extremely short-i was in tears and he did ZERO to reassure me and basically tried to make me feel belittled and like an idiot, which he did very well and as quick as he was in the office-he out. I asked for his professional opinion because as it turns out…I don’t have my Ph.D and he told me it was up to me. It’s Friday evening and I get to spend the entirety of my weekend researching other specialists. I can hardly walk and am in an extreme amount of pain-he still offered no options but good news I can find a 24 Urgent Care to bad I can’t walk let alone drive. He is a disgrace to Nevada Orthopedic Spine although the reviews about other surgeons are for the most part outstanding but something in my gut told me to hold off and do some homework and find a Dr. that 1.)gives a hoot 2.)has some kind of emotion 3.)give their professional opinion-out of room

Follow-up appointment with Dr. Thomas Kim.
His friendly and professional demeanor. He greeted me when he first came into the room. He asked me how I been doing. Dr. Kim then conducted various movement and strengthen testing of my shoulder. He question me on my progress and how things been going for me. After the verbal and physical evaluation. He felt from those two things he asked me if the previous shot helped me. I told him it helped a lot. So he had his medical technician come in to give me a shot in my left shoulder. Dr. Kim told me if at a later time I need another shot contact his office to get scheduled. He also gave me another option about my rotator cuff that freeze up on me. He said that would require me to be put under and he would manipulate the shoulder. I elected to wait to see how things went. It was a really good appointment. I was very pkeased.
