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.

The surgeon's choice for an interventional doc
Dr. Lim is our hero! The surgeon's choice for a cardiac interventionalist!My 91 year old dad suffered a NSTEMI and had unstable angina and signs of right heart failure. Many cardiologists would not not have done any intervention for a 91 year old and bypass surgery would have been of great risk. The excellent Dr. Christopher Chen arranged for Dr. Wayland Lim to perform my dad's cath. Dr. Lim's honest, confident, no-nonsense attitude as well as his experience gave my dad the confidence to proceed. Dr. Lim skillfully placed two stents, saving my dad's life and reversing his signs of heart failure. We are forever in his debt. When picking a cardiologist and writing reviews, don't be shallow. Pick the one with great skills and judgment -- he is the one that will save your life and that is all that matters. Dr. Lim is the best!

Dr. Kim is one fantastic doctor. He had to do a 3 artery angioplasty. He called me before to explain what had to be done and left his cell number if I had any questions. After the procedure he called me in the waiting room and explained the results. Then he took the time to come into the waiting room and sit down and explained with copies of the before and after results. A brilliant young new doctor for my mom. 5 star plus.

Dr. Lim performed a cardiac catheterization on me yesterday. He was able to place a stent in a previously discovered high-risk obstruction, on the LAD very close to the main left artery. On further observation he discovered another obstruction lower down on the same artery and placed a stent there also. He was able to go through the wrist instead of the femoral artery, and I feel he did an amazing job. He is extremely competent. I give him my highest recommendation and thanks.
