I went to Kim for a second opinion and was able to diagnose me (proplerly this time!) after one look at my throat. I started a course of antibiotics and feel better after 24 hours. Will be going to him first in the future!

Dr. Kim is the most professional and knowledgeable doctor I know.
I like that he does not overtreat me and orders all sorts of tests. It was easy to make an appointment within 3 days. Highly recommend Dr. Kim.
More than 1 year agoJessie L.Verified patient
I was falsely mislead to have concerns about the wait time and cost of parking. The staff was great. I was seen and examined by Dr. Kim within 20 minutes. Parking was 3.00.
I feel confident in Dr.Kims observations. I'd recommend him to anyone with sinus issues.
September 17, 2016Brody F.Verified patient
The receptionist was very helpful and all of Dr.Kim staff was great and polite. Dr.Kim is a great ENT and would highly recommend him.

Even though I needed to wait for over 30 min to see Doctor Kim, I felt it was well worth it. Dr Kim was very thorough, explained what is going on step by step, and provided the clear guidance what I needed to do once I am home.

Two hours wait means you have to pay quite a bit for parking. No, they don't validate. No, there is no street parking. It was a frustrating experience. Although the doctor is nice, between the wait time and the parking expense, I won't return.
December 23, 2015Michaela H.Verified patient
Very pleased with the Doctor and his staff
November 20, 2015John K.Verified patient
Doctor Michael Kim was really clear in his explanation. Translating the technical vocabulary into words that I would understand. I was worried for the delicacy of the exam, but he was really smooth and subtle. I definitely recommend him.
September 24, 2015Alexia D.Verified patient
Very nice. Very professional and gentle.
July 1, 2015Barbara P.Verified patient
Others have noted that Dr. Kim's bedside manner is underwhelming and that's certainly true, but I found him very competent and knowledgeable about my ear condition. I also liked his nurse and physician's assistant, too. They were friendly and explained everything really well. When I arrived there was a problem with my insurance and it took a long time to resolve, but I finally got to see the doctor after about 75 long minutes. They seem somewhat overbooked and if I had to make any suggestion at all, it would be to better distribute the appointments. But I understand the "economic reality" of healthcare these days.
May 6, 2015Michael S.Verified patient
Very nice experience!
April 7, 2015Robert K.Verified patient
During my visit I waited little to no time vefore I was seen by Dr. kim. He was very attentive and detailed to my symptoms and medical concerns, while providing me with sufficient information about his recommendation in order to improve my symptoms. he was able to write me a prescription that was inexpensive and would help me feel better in no time. After following his treatment for a week my symptoms were no longer present. I would gladly recommend Dr. Kim to my family and friends because he is a very thorough and caring physician that thrives on the well being and satisfaction of his patients.

My twelve year old son had surgery with Dr. Kim after months and months of oral antibiotics prescribed by many other doctors. Dr. Kim was straight-forward and no nonsense. My son's problems cleared immediately after surgery. I wish I had taken my son to Dr. Kim from the beginning. My son and I think Dr. Kim is awesome!
