Karen S. Kim's Online Review Report Card

Never had problems until Dr. Kim and her revolving door practices. Gave me medicine for people under 65. It put me in the hospital and then a hospice for 2 weeks. I couldn't walk for months. I fell down many times and couldn't get up. I believe it damaged my spine causing bone spurs on my vertebrae. I have been in pain ever since. I believe it started in 2015 1nd 2016. It's now 2020.

I have been losing respect for Dr. Kim because of her hesitancy to discuss my illness beyond a ten minute visit. She becomes defensive when you question her about other perspectives on your diseases or disorders. When I first became her patient, she seemed to be more thorough but now all she does is read your lab report in front of you and write your prescription. I have told her that I see my lab report online before my office visit yet she wastes valuable time with the report.

Very good doctor! Listens to what you need and works with you to find best options for your health. Complete faith in her recommendations and direction.

Dr. Kim really cares about her patients. Takes time with you to answer questions and she has helped me so much. It's hard to find a doctor like her.

Bad hip pain. Dr. Kim sent me to next room for X-Ray.Came back for results. No X-Ray in chart. So her response to me is that everything is probably fine or she would have made notes in my chart. Ummm, how can you diagnose and write notes if there are no X-Ray? many times I go days without my migraine medication because my pharmacy has to repeatedly fax request for refill or I need to personally call office and ask them to please ok refill before it's done. Not suppose to skip dosages but do!

My son came down sick the second day we moved to town. Surprisingly, the same afternoon I called the office I got an appointment, which was rare at our old pediatrician office. Although they fit us into the schedule, Dr Kim didn't rush us out, but checked out my son and explained what was going on.

Dr Kim has been my children' s pediatrician for years, and I will never see anyone else. I didn't really realize what a great doctor we had until we temporarily moved out of town and had to go to another practice. How I missed Dr KIm, who actually takes time to find out what is wrong. When we moved back and went to Kids First again, I felt like hugging her!

I have never had a problem getting a prompt appointment at Kids First-by the way, it is not on Gray Street, whereever that is. No matter what my ques ...

I recommend Dr Kim to everyone! I feel she saved my daughter's life! We had just moved to Pooler and had no doctor. My youngest daughter became very ill, and was having trouble breathing. I called Kids First and got an appointment right away, even though she was a new patient. The staff got us back soon after we arrived, and the RN notified the doctor that there was an emergency. Dr Kim diagnosed my daughter with pneumonia and admitted her immediately to the hospital. Dr Kim saw her everyday in the hospital, and she cured her; she also found that my daughter had asthma, and probably had it for years. Dr Kim put her on a medicine she breathes in everyday, and she has been so much better.

I would never take my kids anywhere else. If one of them are sick, they are seen the same day I call for an appointment- once the office waited after hours for me to get there. My phone calls are returned promptly, and they always know who I am and who my children are. I love the new computer system- the prescription goes right to the pharmacy before I leave the office. I prefer to see Dr Kim, who always knows what is wrong if one of mine is under the weather, so my only gripe is that she is not there every day of the week. I have had no problems with the other docs, though.
