Grace Kim Md's Online Review Report Card

Although her staff was extremely nice and helpful, Dr. Kim was the worst doctor interaction I have ever had. At times feeling worthless due to her lack of care or concern. Each time I had a conversation I was constantly cut off when talking. I was quickly hung up on during calls and she even just left an appointment after she found it fit to be done. Not once did she ask if I had any questions. I was told to just call another endocrinologist because she can't help me anymore or at least did not want to. She barely asked questions and continually deprecated me when referring to the severity of the pain I was having. She looks at a singular blood test and diagnoses you without taking into account any other symptoms or feelings. I even showed all of my other labs and would not look at any other metric besides TSH and TPO. She will just give you medication and move on. She does not provide any additional insight, information, or resources. When asked about lifestyle changes I could make other than drugs she did not answer.She also did not refer to any notes prior to appointments as she did not even remember the drugs that she prescribed me or the diagnosis she gave me during an ultrasound she performed. When trying to correct her in these situations she shut me down quickly. I tried my best to stick up for myself but I have never felt worse than after leaving her office.

My brother was referred to Dr. Kim by his primary care doctor. I am the majority caregiver for my brother who is elderly, has special needs and very severe diabetes. We had to cancel two appointments with Dr. Kim because my brother contracted COVID. He tested positive for 3 weeks so I was unable to make any other appointments. During this time the facility he lives in was inundated with new cases of COVID and they went on lockdown for 2 weeks. Then, the office set an appointment with my brother without my knowledge. When my work schedule did not permit me to make this appointment, Dr. Kim refused to see my elderly, special needs brother to test his severe diabetes anymore and dropped him. When I tried to speak to the mostly unreasonable doctor she was too busy trying talk over me to listen to a word I said. I guess this office wants you to keep your appointments even if you are COVID positive! Just a money grab, she couldn't care less about the patient or the circumstances, she just wants that $$$!

I have seen Grace Kim about four times now I found her to be very professional friendly understanding and gave me a great diagnosis, recommendation and the medication I needed. she's help me out for almost a year now has given me exactly what i needed and worked. I saw the reviews on her office staff and I haven't found that to be the case they actually remember my name and have addressed me with my name almost every time I come in and have been very friendly so I would give her a five star and her staff a five star

This doctor has no bedside manners. She uses words like "freaking". She is not interested in discussing the issues a patient has. She is only interested to prescribe medicine.She would not even listen to my issues. Once she heard an opportunity to prescribe medicine, she would not even hear about other problems I have. The office staff was 15 minutes late with the appointment.Stay away from this doctor.

I will tell you about my horrible experience with Grace Kim about 8 years ago. At that time I saw her at Seton hospital on Sullivan Ave , Daly City . I was really ill with Hashimoto's thyroiditis at the time and in a state of almost panic because that's one of the ways hypothyroidism can manifest . It's also a symptom of synthroid overdose. It takes a well trained doctor to look at the whole patient and take a minute to really differentiate what's going on as well as listening to the patient and I was desperate for help. I saw her early in the morning at her office on an urgent basis. Her office staff were incredibly rude and insensitive. When I saw her she was indifferent, uncaring and totally mismanaged my synthroid dose. Synthroid is based on a persons weight. At the time I was over 200 lbs and had just started increasing my synthroid dose to 50 mcg. Because she was in a rush and annoyed with me, she cut my dose to 25 mcg instead of increasing it to at least 100mcg!!! I left in a worse state. Through my kid 's pediatrician I finally saw Dr. Nathan Becker. Look him up . The most eminent endocrinologist in the country! See his reviews!! He was astonished at her mis management of my condition because he knew her partner at the time, an older knowledgeable endocrinologist. Fast forward.. in a short time I made a complete recovery and on Dr. Becker's advice had my thyroid removed because I had to keep adjusting the dose to keep the Hashimoto's manageable. Today I'm happy to say he saved my life! My dose today is 225 mcg daily adding T3 when needed. That's the recipe that works for me. Everyone will have their own recipe .Dr. Becker will see to that! It's no in and out with him . He looks, watches and listens intently. Sooo.. after I started recovering I called her to discuss her gross medical mismanagement of me . Her response , and I remember it to this very day , was not only dismissive but reeked of superiority " I'm glad you got the care you needed" was all she managed to say . She never , ever took a minute to hear what I had to say , or apologize or ask me what treatment I received to recover or to own her unprofessional behavior toward me.! Do not ever let a doctor dismiss you or treat you insensitively. Read and research your health condition thoroughly and for your own safety, do not see Dr. Kim .. your life and recovery will depend on it! I will use my full name and I am a registered nurse .

Dr. Kim is the best! She always listens to my concerns and explains things to me in terms that I can understand. She always takes her time during each visit to make sure that I don't have any questions before I leave and is also very good about following up with me after I have any labs or tests done. She has always been very receptive to any questions I have about my treatment and often makes me feel like we are making decisions together which is very important to me. Her care is definitely above and beyond. I am so glad that I found her and I highly recommend her to anyone who needs to see an endocrinologist!

She is a IN and OUT doctor. Never spends time with you. Never listen Simply doesn't care. I went to see her at my worst . Feel fatigue and dizzy. She was so helpless.

Dr Kim has been my doctor past 2 years and I am very happy with her treatment. She is a patient listener and provides the best care.

I saw DR Kim a couple weeks or so back. She has excellent bedside manners, seems like a caring doctor and I feel I'm in good hands for my condition. She listened to all I had to say, answered my questions, and explained things in detail. Front desk staff was friendly too.

Grace Kim is a a great doctor and has really helped me manage my diabetes. She listens to my goals, is supportive and encouraging and up to date in current and evolving treatments for this chronic condition. I am so grateful to her for helping me face my health issues!
