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 is excellent!
Dr. Kim is very professional and caring, I will highly recommend him! My family and I were his patients for some years until last June when he left Advocate Medical Group on 111th in Palos Hills. I wish I could find where he is practicing now to continue our care with him.

Wonderful Physician
Dr Kim is always attentive and present during visits. I never feel rushed. He is thoughtful and professional. He takes time to discuss options of treatment. He explains everything clearly and thoroughly. He is empathetic and comforting. I would highly recommend him.

Dr Kim himself is AMAZING. however, the service at the office is awful. We have waited between 45 minutes and 2 hours to see him in the past (we've seen him for 5 years now) and never complained. Today my wife went in, was 7 minutes late, and they wouldnt let her see him. It is not like we can call the office direct, like we could before, now it is all automated through the advocate system. Terrible service. And we have loved seeing him but this will be the last time.

Dr. Kim shares his medical knowledge of conditions with facts and is honest. It is refreshing to have a Doctor tell you about your medical condition with honesty. Integrity is such an important part of medicine. He is thorough with his consultation with you and follows through with any additional testing he feels you may need. Answers all questions again with his medical expertise and takes the time to explain the symptoms and or outcomes of ailments or conditions you may have. Thank you Dr. Kim
