Ja-Hong Kim

If I could give Dr Kim a 0 I would. I had a phone appointment with her 11 Jan @ 2 and waited till 4. She never called. I was having kidney pain and possible symptoms of an infection and was hoping that during our phone conversation she would be able to order the lab work required to get to the bottom of why I was in so much pain. Instead I went to the ER and sat for 5 hours in a waiting room full of Covid patients. Eventually labs were ordered, CT and the diagnosis was kidney stones. If Dr Kim would have kept her appt I would not have exposed my entire family to Covid. At our initial in person appt at the VA she said to me that I am getting the same care from her that patients at UCLA pay for. I think I paid for my care with 13 1/2 years of active duty service and 2 1/2 of those years were spent in combat. Dr Kim is cold, hard to talk to, she makes you feel stupid for asking questions. I was referred to her for severe eurethra pain. She has no solution. I am on my own.

Please read all the one star reviews on Dr.Kim I wish I had before my horrific experience "Dr." Ja-Hong Kim is a butcher. She has no idea what she's doing. She charged up over $30,000 on my insurance with unnecessary horrific tests and wrong diagnoses, then committed deliberate malpractices during what was supposed to be a simple cystoscopy. She lied multiple times about my treatment and deliberately disregarded my personal medical requests and rights. And she was completely wrong about my diagnosis. When I was finally able to see my real primary care physician, My PCP was able to diagnose what was wrong with me within five minutes based on symptoms, then had a $350 test done to prove her diagnosis. My real doctor gave me a very simple OTC remedy that fixed my issue, except she of course could not undo the permanent damage Dr. Kim did to my body or what she subjected me to. Dr.Kim did this because I was under anesthesia and couldn't talk back. Dr.Kim is such a control freak, egotistical, narcissist that she doesn't even know that other Doctors in her field at other universities know about the simple diagnosis as my PCP. Dr.Kim didn't even have the test that my other doctor uses but she needed to do $30,000 worth of tests in order to come up with no diagnosis and say she did all she could and I must be crazy to have my symptoms. If it were not for my privacy I would get into all of the details of all the things that she did wrong which were many. She doesn't listen to her patients and constantly cancels important appointments last minute to "suddenly pick up her kid". As if she couldn’t afford a nanny or plan ahead. She talks about her self incessantly and then compared herself to me, like she was better than me. And as for the rest of her practice her office staff is sooo unprofessional, disorganized and incompetent. You can't get a hold of anyone, they don't know how to schedule appointments, they messed up my insurance and disability paperwork not to mention a lot of them are just plain rude. They don’t give you the information you need and it’s very difficult to get any answers and they also screwed up scheduling tests. Her fellows don't even know their anatomy. If it were possible to give Dr.Kim negative stars I would. She is a disgrace to her profession. And UCLA is the worst. if you have any other option don't go to UCLA they have the worst customer care the worst patient care & the most lawsuits. It is amazing to see someone so full of themselves who is so completely incompetent.

She is very caring and attentive doctor. I enjoyed my experience. Really lovely woman. Phew!

Dr. Kim is very caring and attentive Urologist. Knows a lot about women's issues. I enjoyed my experience. Really lovely Doctor. Phew!

She was 15 minutes late to our first visit, then tried to wrap up our visit after 5 mins saying she had other patients to get to and only has 15 minutes to spend with each patient. I felt she as a doctor was cold, not particularly interested, very much like a mill doctor, and not remotely interested in offering holistic options before prescribing drugs

Dr Kim is very determined and detailed. She was knowledgeable about mesh complications and knew exactly what was going on. She didn’t leave any mesh in me and was able to remove every bit of it without complications. Her staff is good and Jean is the best. They are very busy but they get the job done.

Dr. Kim is a super doctor who treated me with an effective medical treatment. She can see some medical problems that others can't see. I'm very grateful to have a world class doctor like her.

Forget bedside manner. Her fellow first came in to do my exam, and couldn't have seem less bored that it wasn't some cool case. She was rude. Dr. Kim herself repeats the same statistics over and over again without listening to what you're actually saying or reading the 40 minutes of paperwork they make you fill out. If you try to call with any future questions, it takes about five different phone calls until you get someone on the phone who can actually do anything for you. Atrocious service.
