Regrettably I have seen Dr. Howard Kim 3 times. He is the most argumentative ignorant doctor I have ever witnessed. each visit was worst than the last. I wish I could mark half a star. I have been seeing various doctors a couple times a week for the past month or so to try and figure out a problem I am having. The first time i visited Dr. Kim he gave me a diagnosis without even hearing my full story or taking the time to listen. The second time I visited him was after I had an MRI taken. The purpose of the visit was to look at the MRI and shed some light on the subject, but he didn't even get the MRI from the imaging office! Why the heck did I even come in?! He just told me to take prescription pills with horrible side effects for the condition that I may or may not have. The third time I went in was by request from Dr. Kim. He basically scolded me for not taking his word on his diagnosis. however he could not explain to me his reasoning behind it an any way. I DO NOT recommend going to this doctor! I would rather stab myself in the eye with a fork than deal with Dr. Kims inability to care for his patients one more time. read more

I've been experiencing Vertigo for the past 4 weeks. Its gotten better, but lets just say I have been in and out of the ER, Urgent Care and General MD for the past month, not to mention spending crap loads of money on Rx's. Fun times!! Anyway, I guess I needed a prelude to my review here. Ha! I saw Dr. Wilson yesterday afternoon. He confirmed I have Viral Labrynthitis and that is what has been causing my Vertigo. He prescribed me some Xanax and I have to say, im stoked! LOL. I'm not a pill person but when its prescribed, I gotta take it right? =) There was a super long wait.....I didn't actually see the doctor until about an hour and 20 minutes after my scheduled apt time. I did have a hearing test first, and that alone, I had to wait about 50 minutes to do. So I cant really blame the wait time on that. Once the Doc came into my waiting room, I was in and out in about 10 minutes. Super short visit time. I guess its okay because he confirmed my issue. I would probably go back to The Wilson Clinic if I need more testing or if my vertigo just doesn't go away. But it wasn't the best of times. read more

I am so happy to have found Dr. Harold Kim. He is just the right balance of kind/confident that I look for in a doctor. I was having serious and chronic ear infections as an adult. Turns out I had a growth on my ear drum (resultant from a burst eardum). I had several office visits, all that I was very happy with. He was also my surgeon and I have been very happy with the results. read more

I have been seeing Dr. Kim for over a year for a cholesteatoma and have had two surgeries with him as my surgeon. The whole process of figuring out my on going ear infection was in fact something else entirely was a long, drawn out process before I even arrived to Dr. Kim. Dr. Kim figured out right away what the issue was and was able to get me into surgery quickly. When my issue reoccured, he also did the second surgery recently and was great. So far, I've been very happy with the results. Dr Kim has been kind, patient and has explained very thoroughly the possiblities with my case. He has never rushed or hurried me and after both surgeries spent time explaining things to my family so they had a good understanding too. I have never felt like he didn't listen to my concerns. I think he is an excellent Dr. and a wonderful surgeron. The whole office staff is great too. Every single interaction I've had with them has been courteous and professional. read more

I did not have good visits with dr Kim. I have a severe problem with dizziness that totally shuts me down when it gets bad. I am always pretty dizzy. He misdiagnosed and wrongly prescribed head medication when it was discovered by a higher qualified Doctor that I have superior canal dehiscence. I could not have imagined having the problem I have and be prescribed those meds to mess me up even more. I don't recommend seeing dr Kim. Find someone more qualified even if it takes longer to get in. read more

I've been seeing Dr. Harold Kim for the past year for a cholesteatoma. I had my first cholesteatoma surgery in August 2012, when he discovered that the cholesteatoma had eaten into my skull bone and resulted in my brain beginning to leak out. So in December 2012 I had to have another ear surgery (the cholesteatoma had returned) in addition to brain surgery. I will have my third surgery in July 2013, which I'm hoping will be my last. I am a complicated case, and I've been pleased with Dr. Kim's skill and bedside manner. read more

The office staff and the office manager provide horrible customer service and don't do anything to resolve billing issues. All three people I spoke with interrupted me when I tried to explain my concerns and then made excuses about how it was an issue with a system conversion and let me know how hard this conversion was for them. Any future concerns I have with my ears will be taken to a different doctor. read more

I have been seeing Dr Kim for a cochlear implant. Immediately after surgery we were told to schedule a post surgery appointment. We did for the following week. When we went in the immediate response was "what are you doing here? ". Well they had set the time. We had never seen the implant and were given very little information on it. Since then we've had a series of billing issues culminating in a paid bill being sent to collection. The office manager said that an apology will come from the collection agency. It's not the agencies fault, they were following instructions from Kim's office manager. I wouldn't recommend him to anyone. read more

Dr David Wilson (and his partner Harold Kim) at the Portland Ear Clinic are a great place to go for care for your ears and related issues. I have Meniere's Disease - a disorder of the vestibular system. Dr David Wilson is a Neurotologist - that is an ENT who has had additional training to become an expert in disorders of the ear that relate to the neurological system. That would include Autoimmune Ear Disease, Meniere's Disease, BPPV, and other related disorders. Dr Wilson has been my Doctor for 10 years and while, he is quite a bit older he has not rested on his laurels - he shows a clear continuing intellectual curiousity and when I bring him questions based on my research on the disease he always is willing to spend extra time with me answering my questions and dealing with my concerns. His staff is professional and kind and takes care of you in a 1st class way. Whether you need standard audiology services or have a more serious disorder like me, I highly recommend the clinic. read more

The doctor is a good diagnostician. They give allergy tests and shots in this clinic. Have to say they are very unhygienic with those.

I visited Dr. Kim office today for hearing loss problem that has been going on for a week. After looking into my ear, he said I have an eardrum rupture and told me to have a surgery. Surgey, surgery, surgery, period. He didn't even bother to take time and explain to me what caused it, or what are the symptoms, or all the options available for treatment. All he cares about is the surgery. Based on some researches I read from WebMD, the eardrum rupture can commonly heal by itself within 3-4 months. He didn't even tell me that info, or maybe he's too ignorant to know that! You know, to tell somebody to do surgery and then make big bucks out of that is always easy. He seemed to have a really poor patient care, poor physician's ethic and unprofessional judgment. My ear problem is not something like cancer that requires a surgery right now. I can always do it 3-4 months from now without any problem. Why he didn't recommend his patient to wait for a few months to see if it heals rather than jumping into surgery. Surgery has its own risk factors and only be considered when there is no more hope or as the last option. Dr. Kim needs to go back to school, focusing on medical patient care and ethics courses. Yes, I understand that his business needs to make money for living, but please don't be careless to your patients. I paid him full price, I deserved the best service when I come to his office, not just seeeing him sitting there with his lousy explanation. I WOUD NOT RECOMMEND Dr. Kim for anyone who are having ear problems. He deserves NO STAR!!! read more
