I love Dr. Kim..... Spending most of my early years in the sun, I have quite a bit of sun damage. I came to Dr. Kim concerned about a particular growth that she ended up not concerned about. She did however find one that she wanted to biopsy. That turned out to be a skin cancer. The best most thorough skin checks ever! She's super nice, doesn't rush, professional, explains things in a way that you actually understand. Even had a couple cosmetic things done!

I've been a patient of Dr. Kim's for just a little under a year and have been consistently impressed. She treats my acne and also does my botox and filler. Dr. Kim exhibits an admirable amount of patience while listening to all of my concerns and questions. She always answers each question with thoughtful consideration, and aims to provide the best possible solution. Dr. Kim understands how to achieve a very natural look when working with botox and fillers (hard to find in LA), and I always leave the office feeling refreshed! I would highly recommend Dr. Kim for all dermatology needs!
“5 stars for Dr. Kim's medical intellect, positive and personable demeanor, and cosmetic dermatology skills!”

I have taken my daughter to dermatologists all over the Los Angeles area, from Beverly Hills to Manhattan Beach. We would spend 2 to 3 months working with each doctor, always leaving disappointed. Dr Kim was so compassionate and competent, it was absolutely refreshing. She found the solution to my daughters acne and treated all the problems in no time. We are so grateful!

I go to Dr. Kim for both acne and botox. She always takes the time to listen to my concerns and explain things thoroughly. I never feel rushed out and she is always on time. She has even reached out to my other doctors to make sure that all of the medications I am on work properly together. Plus she's cool! Highly recommend.

Throughout my many years seeing a Dermatologist I have encountered many different types of personalities and styles. By far Dr. Kim is the most patient, the most knowledgeable and professional. She takes the time to listen and give you options of care. She is super smart and up to date with all of the trends and new procedures. She has caught multiple things that my other doctors have not so this is what keeps me coming back year after year. We can not recommend her enough.

Dr. Kim is patient and thorough. She takes time to listen to my concerns and talk through them with me and makes sure I understand any procedures before committing to them. And, once you get to know her, she has a fun sense of humor that puts you immediately at ease. I've been to other Dermatologist in the past who have made me feel bad about how I look or who would cancel my appointment and not reschedule it for months for celebrity clients to take my spot. Dr. Kim is committed to her patients and in my two years with her she has never cancelled an appointment with me. The office is clean and comfortable. I've never had to wait more than 5 minutes upon arrival and the staff is professional and friendly!
