Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep the reviews trustworthy, honest & fair.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

Dr. Kim is an amazing Neurologist! I went to him for a follow-up, after I was brought into the ER for a TIA. He explained everything in details from beginning to end to my husband and I. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM! However, I do feel I need a second opinion, for my own personal satisfaction.

I was very fortunate to have had Dr. Kim while I was at the hospital. I had to go to the Emergency when I had a stroke and did not have a choice of doctors, so I feel blessed to have had him and and the whole staff at the Medical Center of Plano to care for me. He is very caring, listens to his patients, and explains everything in detail, which brings a lot of confidence and trust.
