I had such a great experience at this ENT office! They were able to accommodate me and get me in the same week, rather than having me wait nearly 3 months for an appointment, which I really appreciated. Dr. Kim's PA, Daisy, initially came in to see me and was so thorough and attentive. I really appreciated learning that she coordinates all of her care with Dr. Kim to make sure patients don't get overlooked or anything gets missed. Dr. Kim then came in, saw me himself, answered all of my questions, and explained my course of treatment. He was quick, efficient, and made sure I understood everything before leaving. The front office staff were also extremely helpful and kind! I did have to pay $180 because I have a high-deductible insurance plan, but I was informed that this was an estimated rate and that once my claim finishes processing, I may be reimbursed if I overpaid. I appreciated them explaining that to me upfront. I feel like people usually come to Yelp to share their bad experiences, so I wanted to take the time to share a great one! While I was waiting, I actually talked to a few other patients in the waiting room, and they all had great things to say about Dr. Kim as well, which made me feel even better about choosing this office. I will definitely be coming back! Thank you to the entire staff for taking such good care of me! read more

First visit to Dr. Kim. The office was clean and well kept. Front desk staff greeted me promptly, took care of forms, and copay, efficiently and courteously. Intake nurse took and confirmed information also efficient and courteous. NP came in and did initial exam. She was also very nice and provided some good insights. Finally Dr. Kim came in and did a quick exam. He was professional and courteous. He answered all my questions and gave me a course of treatment. All in all, a nice experience and recommend this office! read more

Dr Kim is a true professional and I am grateful having him as my Ear, Nose and Throat doctor!!

i respect Dr. Kim. He is the non-nonsense type of guy. He is straight to the chase and is confident in his knowledge. I was there for an ear "infection" which turned out to be something else. Dr. Kim made the most accurate, precise diagnosis and prescribed a pharmaceutical treatment. He was concerned about the potential cost of the big pharma medication and suggested a home-remedy which turned out to be effective. Dr. Kim was kind in his approach and suggestions. I can see why some people could be turned off by his approach...because he is competent and dont put up with people's, wise crack individuals mediocre self-help medical assessment learnt on youtube. read more

This office is not trustworthy. I had a similiar experience as others. Told me I had to pay $180.00 because my deductable was not paid. After contacting my insurance I was informed tha my deductable was indessd paid. When I asked for my money back they respnse was that they had not sent the claim to insurance and I would not be getting my money back. I will be reporting him to the California Department of Insurance. read more

DON'T trust this office or doctor!!! One visit, lasted about 5 minutes with doctor and my bill was over $1,000.00 They billed my insurance for a procedure that I did not have done!!! Then, sent my bill to collections while insurance was sorting out a group change. Horrible, horrible, horrible Save yourself the grief!!! read more

Dr. Kim is extremely unprofessional, condescending and rude. After finding out the root cause of all of my sinus infections, inflammation and pain were due to mold in my home he literally laughed it off. Even showing him a report from a reputable home inspector revealing the mold in our home he mocked the charts saying I paid for all the red on the papers. THIS ARROGANT AND QUITE IGNORANT MAN SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO SEE PATIENTS. read more

GO SOMEWHERE ELSE. If I could give this doctor 0 stars, I would. His patient interaction skills are absolutely terrible, he was condescending, impatient, and made it seem like my questions were an inconvenience. When I asked for an alternative treatment option he tried to scare me into choosing his first suggestion by stating an MRI with contrast is invasive and claustrophobic. I wished I had read reviews before coming here, because I would have gone elsewhere. On the way out he said "see you when I see you". Um no "doctor" you will not see me back. read more

First of all I my intensions are not to call the doctor callous but for my voice to be heard as I am trying not to cry writing this. I started with Dr. Kim with high regards as my ENT had retired and I worked with Dr. Kim's staff for over 15 years. The first appointments went very well and I was very impressed with his bed-side manner and gentle care for my needs. When I developed a odd substance on my tongue, he performed a laryngoscopy and diagnosed my situation as gentle as he could calling it enlarged papilla and that it is "my case" and my next cerumen management appointment, he kept talking to me on "why did I ask for him".. that "his PA is more gentle". I got the hint. The beginning of May I had my 8th Endoscopy & Colonoscopy as I am under the care of a Oncologist for TP53 & Li-Fraumeni high risk cancer and the anesthesiologist tortured my throat that never healed with pain, tingling, numbness and a white spot on my throat. I saw the PA Tonya and she prescribed 2 medications and to see Dr. Kim if it still persist. 3 weeks later as the symptoms never subsided, Dr. Kim walked in and as soon as he saw me.. asked "why are you here" all I could get out was that Tonya told me to see you as my symptoms have not subsided from the surgery I had over 2 months ago. He then looked in my nose and held a scope to my throat but not as evasive as the laryngoscopy. He diagnosed me with a cyst on my throat as he see that but said, "Im not concerned about it" and that I have no infection but proceeded to make me feel so uncomfortable about seeing me and not to come back unless I am coughing up blood or cannot swallow (basically dying) that I didn't mention the part about my tongue pain and tingling, etc. I just wanted to leave as soon as possible so no one would see me crying. My family all has Autism and my adult son has a higher diagnosis who loves Dr. Kim so I will be in cognito for his next appointment as he cannot drive. Believe me.. I so wanted to be treated with respect with all my mental and physical illnesses and yet I still want to go there as the staff and PA is remarkably caring but I will have to be dying to be seen by Dr. Kim... per his perspective. read more

I was scheduled to have a septoplasty at Dr. Kim's Office in November. I have been waiting to have this surgery for a long time and was excited to finally be able to get it done. The doctor's office called in September saying they will have to reschedule it. This was very frustrating because I already had time off scheduled for the surgery. They rescheduled my appointment for October, which was fine, but I had to change all my days off from work and contact my insurance to change the approval dates. Two weeks before my surgery is scheduled to take place they called me to reschedule it again. This is so frustrating for so many reasons. It is too late for me to request additional time off so I can't just reschedule it. I decided to cancel the surgery and I will be going somewhere else. I am very disappointed with this office and I would not recommend it. GO SOMEWHERE ELSE IF YOU CAN! read more

STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE!!! I took the day off from work to see Dr. Kim and after a two week wait the person that came in to see me was PA Tanya. Dr. Kim performs surgeries on Tues and Thurs so I am not sure why I was scheduled on a Tuesday. Tanya said she is not in control of the front office and they fill in Dr. Kim schedule with her. She went on to say that I can reschedule and come back another day to see him. Again, I took the day off work for this unprofessional doctors office that give horrible customer service for their patients. Stay away from this place! read more

Went here for an ear check up. The office is clean and tidy. The staff are polite and very efficient. Dr Kim is a no-nonsense kind of doctor. I find him knowledgeable and very efficient. He is straightforward in explaining things and answering questions. Others might find him curt and abrupt but for me, he is okay. read more

Michael K Kim, MD FACS - Waiting area - Ear Nose & Throat Near Me - Los Alamitos, California

Dr. Kim did surgery on my nose a few years ago. Honestly have had excellent results!! No more sinus infections! No more snoring! He gets the job done! read more

Dr. Kim was recommended to me by a good friend and everything she told me about him is True!!!!! I have suffered from Allergies/ Sinus issues all my Life, got tired of constantly taking OTC meds so bought the Navage Nasal System on Dec 2020 and I have been Happy with it until Feb 2023! I contacted a bad sinus cold day after Christmas that lasted for weeks!! I was using the Navage twice daily for 3 weeks until one day I had a very bad nosebleed that lasted for 15 minutes, stopped using Navage and nosebleeds continued, couldn't blow my nose or sneeze without having a nosebleed which is annoying!!!! Apparently you can OVERUSE the Navage system and now I have extremely dry & cracked blood vessels which is causing the nosebleeds! I have had 2 Cauterizations and go back again for a followup, hopefully the second one worked!!! I'm using a prescribed ointment ( Mupirocin) and nasal spray (Afrin). Lastly it's nice having a doctor who takes the time to explain your issues and treatment!! Excellent customer service by the doctor and his PA'S!!!!!! read more

If you are in need of an Eye, Nose and Throat Doctor, Dr Michael Kim is the one to see. His office is on Katella Ave, in the city of Los Alamitos. He and his staff are very knowledgeable and friendly, read more

I found out after changing ENT's that, in fact, did have a malignant tumor despite Dr. Kim's assurance that it was only a fungal infection.

I am giving 2 stars as the PA was friendly and informative. Dr. Kim may have good credentials but I will never know. He walked into the room and asked me 2 questions and when I started to answer the second question, he walked out of the room, while I was in mid sentence. SO RUDE! I will not be back, as there are other ENT's that want my business. read more

After many years of having antibiotics thrown at me by other doctors for my sinus condition, Dr Kim found the source and fixed the problem. Dr Kim was very open in explaining what was needed. I started with an antibiotic and followed up with a CT scan. On my follow-up appointment, Dr Kim showed me the picture of my CT scan and how my left Sinus was still full of mucus. We scheduled a balloon sinuplasty for the following week. Everything was explained and got great instructions. I received the procedure yesterday. Dr. Kim was very informative as he did his work, which put me at ease. Today I am a little stuffed up and a little tired but otherwise great. Office staffed has called this morning to check on me and have been very approachable. read more

Dr Kim is good but his staff are incompetent! From the person who picks up the phone to their office manager! Good luck getting referrals done! They lie! They said things are getting done but a few weeks later, nothing is still done! And all they say is "oh we apologize"! Wow so convenient! They are a bunch of lazy people! read more

Very rushed, unproffesional and rude. bad manners, untalented. 1st and only visit, acted like I was interupting him. didn't address why I was there, but went off on other things and asked a stupid question, like a smart aleck. I couldn't have been with him 2 minutes, then he rushes out. No way will I ever go back. Go elsewhere read more

Staff was really nice. From the initial phone call of making the appointment, to checking in at the front desk, to the back office medical assistants. They got me in very quickly , I have never got into a specialist office so quick. I was very impressed. Also, It was a Quick and easy check in process prior to the appointment which I was able to complete from the comfort of my home. Office was very clean. Dr. Kim was very thorough during my visit and went into detail about my diagnosis. Overall great experience and will be coming back. Two thumbs up ! read more

The office is clean and well run The Patient is his top priority He has handled all of our needs with perfect solutions.

Recently did my visit to Dr Kim and he wasted my time giving me no actual result for my issues of my throat. I had surgery hoping things would get better and it's still the same almost 2 months later, I ask him what could I do? In making my throat go back to normal and look at me saying " there's not much I can tell you" I got the feeling once the surgery was done he cared less about my situation but then again Doctor Kim always seem to be that way and get me out quickly as possible everytime I had appointment. Worst doctor I've visited, care more for your patients. I will not be recommending this office at all. read more

GO SOMEWHERE ELSE. I too was apprehensive about the reviews and decided to give them a try given I was referred by my pcp, they charged $165 on 1st visit for the consult (was told i hadnt met deductible so i paid). He reviewed the ultrasound results that had been forwarded from my pcp for a lump on my throat and said since it was unclear what it was, a CTscan would be more thorough, so i went to the CT and came back for the results a few wks later. I was charged $75 the second time because i provided secondary insurance. At the visit, I was told the scan showed a growth on one side of my throat possibly a congenital cyst OR the muscle on this side of my throat was just bigger than the other, i asked what does that mean? And his answer was "you were just born that way" As you can imagine, that was not an answer that would make you feel at ease. I proceeded to tell him that would make sense IF that abnormality had been present forever but given it had showed up not too far back, i wanted to know what my options were. he said surgery or leave it alone, but having surgery would possibly be for nothing if there was nothing in there and i would be scarred for life. I asked how would surgery be? (Wanting to see if it would be inpatient, outpatient procedure, non invasive, etc) But the answer i got was "on an operating table, in a hospital, and we would cut your throat open"...then he went on to say even if i wanted surgery i would now need an MRI as pre surgery requisite... his short answers, his poor bedside manner, his lack of interest in my concerns as a patient, and overpriced visits made me look for a second opinion. I got the order for an MRI and moved on to see another ENT (same last name do your research he is amazing!) i saw the new dr, with MRI results in hand, first visit was $18 copay! Same insurance, and hadn't met my deductible either! He pulled the MRI results instantly on his laptop along with my previous ultrasound n CT scans to review as well, and lo and behold i in fact had a congenital cyst. Was given my options without even asking, and told me the pros and cons of leaving the cyst as is. He listened and answered my questions, all in the first consult. I knew exactly what i wanted to do to help me sleep better at night and not worry about the cyst becoming malignant in the future. never payed over $18 for visits, up until surgery. he did a magnificent job with no keloid scars! (Different review though!) So im just here not to bash this dr or his staff but to tell you the PATIENT, do your research, you deserve the best care, seek a second opinion. Health insurance is expensive DO NOT SETTLE for mediocre care. **Took me months to write this review because every time i would want to, i was just at a loss of words. If i can help ONE person not go through such a bad experience, I've done my job as a yelper. read more

This asshole doesn't even deserve one star. I came here a few years back. Absolutely the WORST experience of my life. I will NEVER go to Dr. Kim ever again and beg people to heed my warning, DO NOT GO HERE!!!!!! The only reason I am writing this review so late is because my coworker just recently had a horrible experience with him and I felt that I needed to warn people about this guy. I am a physically fit person, I do Crossfit and at the time I got the surgery I was beach lifeguarding. I'd like to consider myself a tough easy going person with no problems healing or such. I came in because I had enlarged tonsils. My tonsils were so big to the point where they were touching each other. My first appointment, I waited an hour and a half before I was seen. Dr. Kim finally came into the room, stayed no more than 5 minutes, "diagnosed" me by saying "You need to get your tonsils removed or take allergy medication for the rest of your life to reduce inflammation". He then walked out of the room before my mom or I could ask ANY questions. At the time I was 22 years old but never had any surgery before, so I brought my mom to help me ask the questions I wouldn't think to ask. Well the nurse ended up answering all of our questions, kept assuring us that he was a very good doctor, and that she apologizes for the doctor being short because it was such a "busy" day. So, we scheduled an appointment for surgery and thank God the surgery went well! HOWEVER Dr. Kim prescribed the WRONG pain medication AND WRONG instructions for the type of medication he prescribed me. Thank God I spent the 4 WEEKS recooperating (more than double the normal amount it takes to heal after getting the tonsils removed) at my mom's house. I ALMOST DIED from an overdose because this ASSHOLE wrote the wrong fucking prescription. Post surgery, (when i wasn't passed out from the wrong fucking drugs) I was doing everything you were suppose to be doing, i.e. stayed away from anything acidic, tried to keep my throat wet/moist by drinking tons of water/Gatorade, and etc. I was losing weight fast and was so dehydrated from the drugs my mom finally took me to the E.R. and the E.R. nurse asked what medication I was taking, my mom showed him the bottle. The nurse was very confused by the prescription so he went and asked a doctor for help on verifying the presciption. Needless to say they told me Dr. Kim gave me the wrong prescription. At first we thought it was the pharmacy's fault, so we called and the pharmacy said that they even called Dr. Kim's office to verify the prescription and the idiots that worked up in the front office verified the prescription. Just please don't go here. Honestly, WORST office ever. read more

I wish I could give this office 0 stars. I called because I need to have a tonsillectomy and asked his office if he was available for surgery in the next few weeks. They told me yes and scheduled my appointment for a pre-op consultation. For starters, I arrived 15 minutes before my appointment time and paid my copay of $75 as soon as I arrived. I ended up waiting 90 minutes to be seen and if I hadn't paid my copay already I would've left. When I finally saw Dr. Kim, he was rude, short, belittling, and absolutely 0 help. He rushed me out of his office as quickly as possible and didn't even let me ask any questions. I left more confused than I came in. He told me because of COVID, he would not perform my surgery until "things got under control and it was safer to be in the hospital. It could be next month, it could be next year. I don't know." He then referred me to another doctor who was currently doing surgeries and was not afraid to do his job. Since the appointment was an entire waste, I called the office and asked for my copay to be refunded so I could use it for the other doctor he referred me to. His office refused to refund my copay because the doctor never said he couldn't do my surgery, he just said he couldn't do it now. I will be filing an appeal with my insurance company. This office scammed me out of my money and I would highly recommend going anywhere else. Not to mention, Dr. Kim and his staff were all incredibly rude. If you don't care about helping sick people, find another profession. read more

Allergy testing sucks but the service is quite good. Dr. Kim really new how to peg me after only a couple of visits which made it very comfortable for me to entrust my sinus surgery to him. Surgery was successful and I am looking forward to the next unbearable surgery of tonsillectomy. read more

See all

Cruel, terrible, arrogant. I had an endoscopy at Dr. Kim's office due to laryngitis and intermittent voice loss. I was referred to him by my oncologist at Long Beach Memorial. A drug I'm infused with every few weeks is known to cause temporary or permanent loss of voice. Dr. Kim told me that he could see one vocal cord is atrophied, but had no baseline photos, so did not know what caused the damage. He told me not to talk, yell, or whisper for 3 months, until a follow-up endoscopy. He asked what particular disease and stage I'm diagnosed. After I replied, he told me to stay on the drug, regardless of whether the loss is permanent, because my prognosis couldn't be worse. In other words, you're going to be dead soon enough, who cares if you're mute. I left in tears. Changed ENTs. Dr. Kim refused to allow me to pick up the images from the endoscopy, or to send them to the other ENT, even after I filled out release forms and returned them. I offered to pay. I asked if I could bring my cell phone in and take pictures off the computer screen. Denied. The hospital staff and the other ENT also asked him to release my records. I drove to the other ENT's office to fill out more release forms. Kim repeatedly refused. This Dr.'s license should be revoked. By Federal law, patients have legal rights to our medical records. Kim appears to be banking on the likelihood that if I want to take him to court, I won't live long enough, so who cares. Worst doctor experience ever. read more

It was dubbed as "The Bite Fight" and more commonly known as THE Most Famous Bite in Pop Culture. You know what I'm talking about? Mike Tyson's revenge against Evander Holyfield for taking his WBA Heavyweight Championship. During the match, Tyson actually bit off a part of Holyfield's ear. He was disqualified from the match and lost his boxing license. What's even more absurd is that after all these years, the two are actually friends and joke about the incident. Want to know what's also really uncomfortable for your ear? EAR WAX. How about a case of sinus infection to go with that? That's what Renee, the Physician's Assistant, told me today. My right ear had been uncomfortable, almost cloudy for the past week or so. I couldn't hear very well, probably caused by the severe flu I caught last month and the allergic reaction from last week. FML. Anyways, Dr. Michael Kim was performing surgeries all week long, therefore unavailable for an appt. However, the receptionist was kind enough to schedule one for me with the PA, literally for the following day. These specialists are sometimes backed up quite a bit, kinda like how my ear was, and you can't set an appointment until weeks later. But, I was glad this office was able to help me so quickly. Located, in Los Alamitos off Katella Ave and the 605 FWY, this place doesn't seem as bad as some of the reviews previously stated. The staff seemed very professional to me. Every person I passed by in the office greeted me with a hello and a Cracker Jack smile, so I felt respected. Maybe, they all had a pow wow, read the poor reviews, and decided to do something about it. #YelpWorks The nurse was kind enough to automatically send my prescription for my medication directly to my local pharmacy. Saving lives and paper. I'm diggin' that. Also, I didn't need to make my follow up appointment out in the reception area. The nurse flipped on the PC inside the examination room while the PA was attending to me and she just booked it right there. Outta there in less than an hour flat. EAR WE GO YO! read more

I'll be completely honest, I never even saw the Dr. Although you should read why I am writing this post. I waited 35 mins for my appointment today and realized in that time where I should've been seen (and it was a full house in there... I wasn't going to be seen anytime soon), I read all of the reviews. Sooo many red flags... #1 The Dr.'s office called to confirm the day prior to say there is going to be between a $100-$200 charge for this visit. I have great insurance BTW. #2 There is a parking structure that you HAVE to park in and take a ticket. The Dr. does NOT validate parking. You can't pay the $3 for your patients to park? That's IF you even get seen within the past 2 hours. Judging by the reviews you have a good chance not to be seen within that time frame. #3 Instead of filling out the regular privacy and insurance forms there are 3 pages strictly saying (yes I am paraphrasing) "you are going to have to pay for everything. Pay $20 for cancelling a visit. You understand you have a co-pay that needs to be met... It was insane the amount of initials you have to do just to understand you are fiscally responsible for EVERYTHING. #4 Now going on 30+ minutes after my "scheduled" appointment (yes I gave them all my medical information before I came in) is when I started reading all the reviews and noticing the trend. I did ask the front desk why the Dr. does not validate and she stated that an independent person owns that and doesn't want to negotiate with the Dr. After signing all of these forms I realize the Dr. is just plain cheap. It's part of doing business to be a part of a huge medical center to come together as a group and lease out the parking. I don't have time to wait around all day for a visit with a Dr. who is just in this for the $. Never felt like this before ever. I left after waiting for over a half hour after my appointment. I will post back if they try to bill me or my insurance for waiting in the lobby. I have a feeling they just might. Hope this helped. read more

I was charged over $900 dollars for a 5 minute doctors visit and a hearing test. I went in because one ear of my ears was damaged in an accident. I came prepared by taking a hearing test on my computer so I had a good understanding of what was wrong. After waiting a couple of weeks for an office visit and a long wait once I got there, Dr. Kim proceeded to tell me that I didn't know what I was talking about (fair enough I thought - I'm just a highly educated Aerospace Engineer not a Doctor... maybe I insulted him doing my own test). So, he had me take a hearing test which simply proved my results. Nothing was learned but I don't blame him for not trusting a patient. Then I got this HUGE bill. I explained that this was out-of-network and they accepted my office payments as payment of over $200. I tried to work with them to reduce the bill, but they have me over the ropes because I signed forms which pretty much take away most of my rights against unfair billing. Now he is trying to squeeze another $150 from me. Seriously? For what? 5 minutes of his insults and another 15 minutes of an assistant to take a hearing test? How does that add up to $900? Bottom line Dr. Kim was extremely rude to me and made me feel like an idiot. I've never been so insulted by a doctor in my life. But billing of over $900 for only 5 minutes of his time and a hearing test is absolutely absurd. Now he's going to take me to collections. If he collects a single dime from me, I'm going to take him to small claims court. read more

Great doctor and sugeon. I can breath again. Great friendly staff. Happy i chose Dr. Kim

He's an Ear, Nose, Throat doctor. Called yesterday and was able to get in today. (Some of the other doctors I called weren't available for weeks!) I downloaded the new patient forms from the website and brought them with me, which enabled me to be in and out in about 40 minutes: http://www.mkiment.com Dr. Kim was brief, though he explained my condition clearly, and worked within the bounds of my insurance when choosing the best treatments. He simply gave me a sample of the name brand nasal spray that my insurance wouldn't cover. They even sent my other prescription directly to my pharmacy of choice. Efficient & friendly overall, so I'll definitely go back again. read more

Dr. Kim is great. He placed tubes in my 2.5 year old's ears. My son had no issues with him. I thought he was thorough, professional and easy to talk to. He used an ear diagram to explain the procedure. His operation at the Reagan Surgery Center was prompt and successful. He also looked at my 10 month old during the same visit. I thought he was very nice. My only complaint would be when we had the intial consult we had quite a wait to see, but at the same time he squeezed us into the last appointment the same day. read more

Although he seems really knowledgeable, I think he's not really a people person. The rest follows through with his staffing who is extremely unprofessional and rude. Won't be coming back. read more

As a new patient I was in and out in 45 minutes; was processed, had an ear unblocked and Dr. Kim examined me. Very efficient and I can hear again. Yeah! read more

Was referred to by my primary so did not check the reviews. Wish I had. This doctor is literally the worst doctor I have ever been to with regards to his attitude and overall manner. Went in for hearing test and potential apnea diagnosis. Charged approx $200 for each test... ok.. then charged co-pay when I picked up apnea device... ok..fine... then charged me (without my knowledge) another co-pay just for dropping the damn machine off (literally walk in and hand it to them). On top of that, they tried to charge me another $180 for another test that I did not ask for when there was no sign of apnea. I declined and just wanted to get results of prior tests. When hearing test showed signs of hearing loss and a candidate for hearing aids, Dr. Kim says I should just go to Costco because, "cost is obviously a big concern for you". Um, I guess declining another test and challenging them on their billing practices makes the good ol' doctor mad. NOT GOING BACK! read more

Best doctor, surgeon. Very knowledgeable, very caring. Great staff. My thyroid surgery was a success. I didn't get an keloid scar. It healed great. His staff is very kind. All doctors there are very caring. Would highly recommended for anyone who needs thyroid surgery. He's the one that will take care of you. read more

I'm sure he's an incredible physician. In his own mind. He did almost nothing for me, other than order tests that, even with REALLY GOOD insurance, cost me over $500 out of picket to ascertain that I had, wait for it, a sinus infection, and some nerve damage hearing loss. Since I'm a professional musician, the hearing loss isn't that surprising, but Dr. Kim didn't choose to listen to me long enough to understand what I do for a living. Go with the bad reviews, of which there are many, and keep your distance from this egocentric megalomaniac. Oh, and I had to wait at least an hour for his presence. His time is much more valuable than ours. read more

I left Dr. Kim's office feeling frustrated and with none of my questions answered. He was frigid, defensive, and as I explained my symptoms he talked over me as if he wasn't even listening. As soon as he came into the room, his demeanor made me uncomfortable, as if I was wasting his time. I don't know if it is because I am a young woman, but I felt patronized and a bit ridiculous for coming in. I am a professional singer and wanted to scope my vocal chords because I am having vocal problems. As soon as I told him my concerns he seemed to make an instant decision that he would not help me. He could not get out of my room fast enough! I left wasting my time, money and with tears in my eyes. If you can go to another ENT, please do. read more
