I only went once so far and Dr. Kim himself was nice and knew what he was talking about but I couldn't say the same for his team. His nurse tried to do blood work for me but was giving me attitude when asking about me fasting. I told here when the last time I ate was and she kept asking so have you been fasting? and then at the end she rolled her eyes and said "fasting is when you haven't ate for 8hrs, so have you been fasting" and I told her again when I ate and did the math and said yes. Then she only tried to put the needle in once and couldn't get the vein so she referred me somewhere else. Today I was suppose to have an appointment but I never got a call, text, or email about the appointment and then I got a call later saying I missed my appointment and I told the women that they didn't notify me of the appointment. Then she said "Yes we did, goodbye" and hung up. No rescheduling or anything. read more

I am a new patient with Dr Kim however, in two visits with Dr Kim and his staff They were able to solve multiple problems that my previous primary care doctor couldn't solve even after three years . Even before I was able to meet Dr Kim in person, he was able to help me with TeleMed get my prescriptions sent in so when I did finally make it into his office, everything went extremely smooth and easy. His staff was very friendly, extremely helpful and I would highly recommend his office to anybody looking for a new doctor. read more

All the staff are friendly and efficient. Appointments are always punctual. Dr Kim is THE best doctor I've ever visited - never rushes me, listens to my woes and very knowledgeable and caring. read more

Dr Kim was my doctor before moving to East Coast and BOY was I glad he was taking patients when I returned! The staff is VERY nice and helpful, and obviously well trained and motivated. Video appointments may seem weird at first, but it was very smooth and well done. As others have said-- he gives u the options and discusses until u decide what the best path is... He's the gold standard for his profession read more

Dr. Kim was very thorough and gave me all of the options available to figure out the best way to move forward. He was also very friendly and easy to communicate with. His PA is also wonderful! The staff here is also always SO friendly and helpful. read more

Worst experience ever. Dr. Kim is incompetent & rude. First he yelled: " God damn it!" at his computer. Later I told him I had a couple of questions but he forgot. When I reminded him, he acted like he was too busy. I went to waiting room to breathe & calm down & Nurse asked me what was wrong. I told her I needed to walk away before I kicked his ass. I got a call later from Office Manager, who requested a 3-way Conference call. Silly me, I thought he'd apologize but instead he told me to never come back!!! SCREW THAT HOSTILE PRICK! read more

Dr. Peter Kim rocks!!! He was super swamped and didn't eat lunch but still took the time to see me, even though I didn't even have an appointment. He then went above and beyond by doing some research on my condition to show me pictures and made time to do a biopsy to save me the inconvenience of waiting for a Dermatologist to do it. I've been with Dr. Kim for over 15 years and he's always been caring and attentive. 100 stars. :) read more

I love my Doc but the front desk girls are snotty. If you value your health and want quality care see Dr. Kim just overlook the front desk people. read more

I have never had an unpleasant visit when going to this office and I have been going for about 15 years. The front desk personnel are always kind and helpful whenever I come in and Dr. Kim is an amazing doctor who is very caring and provides excellent health care. Everyone in the office is very professional and the office is beautiful with all the new remodeling they have done. read more

Appointment on time, all questions answered. Good advise. Excellent doctor. Great staff including PA's knowledgeable taking care of patients. read more

I met Dr. Kim last week for the first time. He was very patient and considerate. He was open-minded with different diets and proactive when it came to the type of blood test needed to be done. read more

Dr. Kim takes the time to address questions/concerns and has always provided explanation for diagnosis. A visit to the doctors office can be nerve-racking, but Dr. Kim and team are accommodating, patient and friendly. read more

I love Dr Kim! I have had him for a few years - through two different insurances. He is a very caring doctor who seems genuinely concerned for your health! He is also a very kind person with a calm demeanor. I highly recommend Dr Kim! read more

Dr. Kim is very easy to talk to and makes you feel comfortable discussing your medical concerns with.

My most recent visit was a positive experience, like most visits here. I was quick to be checked in and taken in for my appointment. And Dr. Kim is the best when it comes to taking his time to check in with me and explain things thoroughly. I've seen him for around 15 years. read more

I'm the family member of a patient of Dr. Kim's, who is hospitalized. Received an unexpected call from Dr. Kim, learning that he's been updated daily on my family member's status by Hoag, and that he went to visit the patient himself, something we rarely see in today's hospitalist run healthcare system. I teach medical students and residents, and am a family physician myself, so his excellent demeanor was exemplary. Great job Dr. Kim. You're the essence of family medicine. read more

Dr. Kim made me feel very comfortable by facilitating a conversation regarding my biggest questions and he took the time to formulate thoughtful answers to my questions and in creating a plan of action. Highly recommended. read more

I've been a patient w/ the Baker Ofc for 14+ years and switched to Dr. Kim over 8 yrs ago when my other PCP moved offices. Dr. Kim spends time with his patients, discusses diagnoses and action plans in great detail, always asks if there are further questions and most amazingly - is on time more often than not! I'm giving him a full 5 stars - but I do agree with the others, that the front office staff (many of whom have also been with the practice for nearly all the years I've been a patient) *always* tend to be grouchy and rude! I wonder if their attitude would change if the practice offered opportunities to rate your visit - either online, or old-fashioned postcards or notes, as various hospitals and hotels do; A "How did we serve you?" type of questionnaire? read more

Dr Peter Kim has been my primary care physician for several years and I am very happy with him. He always takes time answering my questions and asking necessary questions to ensure proper care. The office staff members are pleasant and I never have to wait more than 15 minutes. I highly recommend him. read more

I have had Dr. Kim as my primary care physician for about 6 years now. He always provides excellent patient care, always listening to my needs and providing the best plan possible while offering me alternatives. Very up front and honest. My PA, Allison is also great with my patient care when Dr. Kim is not available. The whole office staff at Family Care Center in Costa Mesa are great. Judith Estrella handles all of my referrals and authorizations which can be a very frustrating process. She is very professional and does a great job of following up and pushing authorizations through in a timely manner. I highly recommend this doctors office. read more

My wife and I are in our 70's. Both of us have been with Dr. Peter Kim for well over ten years. Of all the many doctors we have had through the years, he is by far the best--very caring, most knowledgeable, and a good communicator (including via NextMD!). [We have been slow to give a review because of our unhappiness with the overall health care bureaucracy plus the top management that unlike Dr. Kim seem to be more interested in the bottom line. In the last few months the office folks have become much more friendly.] read more

I called for an appt and got one the next day. That was the good part and it was downhill from there. The office is stafffed with slow and apathetic people. I get there at 10:10 for a 10:30 appt. I waited 3 minutes until somebody came over. She gave me forms to fill out and then looked at the clock (it now said 10:14) and she scratched out the time of my arrival and wrote 10:15. Filled out my forms and handed my driver's license and insurance card by 10:28. I suspect the office people had forgotten about me until 20 minutes I asked for my card back. By this time, others have with later appointments with the same doctor have already been called in (I checked sign in sheet. Evidently, they schedule appt in 15 minute blocks, which I doubt they can handle). So I finally get called at 11:15 whereupon I asked "Will the doctor be seeing me shortly?" Nonchalant response: "oh...he's in there with another patient, so it will probably take another 30 minutes." So after a few more incredulous exchanges, I walked out. To be fair, I never saw the doctor so I can't rate his clinical skills. But judging from the unsympathetic, inept staff, I would strongly advise NOT VISITING this whole clinic, unless you have nothing to do and like watching time pass. read more

Dr Kim was amazing. He really took the time to explain everything to me about my sons health based on the symptoms I shared with him and what he found during his exam. I left feeling comfortable with this diagnosis and confident that my son received great medical care. read more

I agreed w/ Jessica. The font desk personel are not professional. I am happy with Dr Kim. He documented my health history in the web site so I can check or ask questions whenever I need. read more

Dr. Kim took the time to answer all questions, there's no feeling of being rushed through.

Dr. Kim is very knowledgeable and very personable. He takes time to listen to his patients.

It was very tough looking for a new dr. I am very happy to say that all the hard work and time it took deciding on which dr. to choose, Dr. Kim exceeded my expectations. In a nutshell, Dr. Kim and his office and staff are 100% amazing. Thank you. read more
