Patient reviews for Dr. James Kim
Very attentive. Soft spoken. Listens to understand. Great experience overall
Amazing. Thorough, attentive and kind.
Dr Kim is a fantastic practitioner at a fantastic office. He has been very attentive to my medical issues and questions, and willing to take the time to sit and discuss them at length with me, without rushing or lecturing. He is an excellent listener and takes everything I say into account. I am particularly pleased with the fact that he has followed up on every exam with a phone call, wherein he clearly explains all the results, any concerns and theories he has, and ways we will follow up. He returns calls whenever I have questions, he has equally-competent colleagues in the office, and his billing team has also been wonderfully responsive to any issues I had with my insurance.
The doctor was very personable and listened to my concern. He is also (most importantly) very knowledgable and was not too in a hurry to run tests which were not needed.
Super nice and very informative- the staff is always great and welcoming.
It was a pleasure seeing Dr. Kim. He was very polite and nice but at the same time straight forward and to the point. He took the time to listen to and acknowledge my problems, which I did not expect. He seemed knowledgeable and I would recommend him to anyone.
Dr. Kim was great. He's enthusiast and extremely attentive. Apart from that, I actually had a pretty bad experience with the nurse and with the insurance copay from the lab/exams. His nurse did a pretty bad job at drawing my blood. She couldn't find my vein(first time for me) and kept twisting and poking the needle until she gave up and turned to my other arm. At that point, I was already covered in cold sweat and about to pass out. The lab/exam providers Dr Kim is affiliated with such as Sunrise and Lenox are giving me a lot of headaches. Most of them have been denied by my insurance company and I have to step in to reprocess them. Again this has never happened to me if Dr Kim had sent those requests to a more reputable provider.
I completed my check-in online, at home, it took me 5 minutes. Received by friendly staff, no wait time. Got to see Dr. Kim right away, in his office. Dr. Kim patiently listened and heard everything I said. Very knowledgable , he helped me better understand my options. Dr. Kim did not make me feel rushed at any point. Answered all my questions and asked if I had any more. He provided a clear path forward. I would highly recommend Dr. James Kim, he's great!
First visit but he appeared very nice. Did not just brush off my issue. Explained everything to me and made sure I didn’t have any other questions. So far, very good!
Dr Kim was amazing. He really reassured me and asked about not only my physical symptoms but my feeling as well. It’s rare for a doctor to address more than just your main problem. I appreciated his help so much. Best doctor I might have ever been to
Dr. Kim was very thorough in explaining what he felt was the matter with me. He gave me advice on things to do and take and it helped me get better! The office was very clean and everyone was nice. Definitely recommend.
I had a great experience
Excellent
Dr. Kim was extremely thorough and super sensitive. He asked me about 7 times if I had more questions and walked me through the procedure in great detail. He was attentive and solicitous in taking my family history and I appreciated his calm and easy manner.
Fantastic first impression with Dr. Kim and his office. Staff was friendly and the waiting room is immaculate. The doctor was welcoming, patient and asked a ton of questions. I didn’t feel rushed nor was I upsold on numerous tests and procedures. I really felt like Dr. Kim has a good grasp on what was bothering me and took time to explain what he thought was happening. Good humor and a friendly, calm demeanor which is a rarity these days. I’m going to follow his advice and will he returning to his office for the follow up. Great first impression all around.
Dr. Kim was very thorough, really listened to all my concerns, and took all appropriate actions. Made me very comfortable.
He is one of the best gastroenterologists I've seen. Very polite and professional. Highly recommended
Nice doctor. Listened and asked questions. Made me very comfortable speaking about an unfomfy situation.
Dr. Kim is wonderful. He’s efficient, thorough, kind, and goes the extra mile to make sure you’re informed and taken care of.
Brand new office, check in was quick, and the doctor asked lots of questions and he was clearly seeking to get to the cause, not just the solution. Very highly recommended.
Doctor Kim somehow made an extremely uncomfortable and embarrassing situation/topic of concern comfortable. He was warm and kind but completely professional and he took the time to talk and listen to me first before performing any kind of exam. He also didn't immediately jump to an extreme conclusion or prescribe medication but rather gave his expert opinion and advised on natural treatment options. The office was also extremely clean, quick and efficient check-in process with an electronic pad (no annoying paperwork!) and I was seen right away. I would definitely come back to this doctor if I had any further gastro issues.
It has been by far the bet doctor I have seen in the past.
Dr. Kim was friendly and polite, took the time to listen, explain things and made sure I understood, clearly knows his specialty and put me at ease while being straightforward. Overall a very positive experience despite the circumstances. Office staff was professional and courteous, space was clean and modern and I didn’t have to wait to see him.
Very thorough and knowledgeable.
No wait time. He was very thorough in explaining everything and he made me feel very comfortable.
Excellent! Dr. Kim was very professional, down to earth and patient. He spent the time to explain what was going with me and is very knowledgable.

The woman at the front was lovely and efficient. Dr. Kim was very friendly, took his time hearing out my case history, and asked questions to get a thorough understanding of my situation. He did not rush me at all and was calm, patient, and understanding. At the end of the visit he clearly explained his goals and recommendations, while also explaining reasons he did not choose alternative options based on my case. Great doctor, clean office, great staff.

Highly attentive to my concerns and questions as well as thorough and informative in his answers. Dr. Kim was definitely worth making a trip to Brooklyn for despite it being out of my way. He was genuinely caring, empathetic and very easy to speak to.

It was great. I really felt like i could talk to him about the issues and he wants to help
Probably the best doctor I’ve ever seen in NYC, period. No rush, caring, smart, took the time to explain everything, answered even stupid questions I had, and cornered the case quickly with conclusive evidence and no guesswork. I would give him six stars if I could.
Dr. Kim is incredibly nice and makes you feel comfortable. I appreciated his thoughtfulness and way of explaining things. Plus the office and staff are great!
Excellent visit with this provider. Check in was easy. DrKim speaks softly but confidently. This was my first visit with him and he made me feel like he had always been my doctor.
