Dr. Kimberly H. Hopkins, MD

"I feel like Dr. Hopkins is very knowledgeable in her field. I had a surgical procedure done a few weeks ago and she successfully delivered and I am thankful for that. A year ago I had my first appointment with her and I felt like she was kind and welcoming. As time went on I realized for me personally she is not the best fit and that is okay. I really need a Doctor who has amazing bedside manner and is loving-- you can have all of the knowledge in the world but if you don't make me feel like you care about my health it just does not work for me. My last two appointments she started them off with "do you have any questions" as soon as she walked in the room rather than even asking "Hey how are you today?" or "How are you feeling?' It was very confusing because why would I have a question if you have not said anything to me. My last appointment I was nervous to get put to sleep and was crying and she kind of just stood in the corner and said nothing. I know some people are not great with emotions, and that is okay however that is just not the care I desire or need. I scheduled my post op with a different OBGYN because I knew this care was no longer serving me. As a black woman it was really important to me to have a black OBGYN, however that does not mean everyone will be the right fit. I believe in "dating" my doctors until I find the right one. I also asked about a holistic care option and she did not even try to research it just told me it was not a thing. I realize western medicine is what is mainly practiced but she could have at least looked it up and discussed it with me (which is what my endocrinologist did). I am unsure if this is Novant in general or just this office, all communication outside of the appointment comes through the nurse. I messaged Dr. Hopkins and she did not respond ever. The nurse was the only one to communicate with me, one time she told me I needed a procedure and said the wrong name. I have never had an OBGYN that did not call me themselves. But that could be a Novant thing as I have only been in the area a year."

"Kimberly Joy Hopkins you should be happy that you got 4.5 (unfortunately). My wife delivered a baby (less than 6 pounds) and had many questions that we wanted to ask doctor as my wife had some cuts during delivery. Dr. Hopkins came to the room and touched the stomach as she is blessing and then disappeared without even talking to my wife. As a doctor I don't have to tell you or remind you about your duties but if touching stomach and disappearing is the duty of doctor then I guess everyone in this world is a Doctor. During and after delivery woman goes through many physical and mental stress unfortunately I have to tell you this because of your unprofessional behavior. My wife thought you stepped out and will come back and at that time we get all answers about issues she is having but you never came back. Sad to say that BECAUSE of your laziness we had to go to ER within 4 days of delivery and doctors at ER asked if Doctor spoke to my wife before discharge, and they were surprised when we said you came and ran away. Please understand that your profession is to clarify patient's doubts and explain what to do next. I know you won't even care about this review but PLEASE PLEASE give respect to your profession and act in such a way that you don't get any negative review. Unfortunate I had to select one star because that's lowest. If you had any issue at home on that day I would suggest take day off during such times. What else can I say, worst experience and hoping my wife recover soon."

"I love Dr. Hopkins. She is extremely knowledgable and not only has an answer for every question, but also explains it in a way that is easily understood. I feel like she truly listens to my problems and does not have any apprehensions in changing my treatment plan if something isn't working for me. She truly makes me feel comfortable and I personally like that she doesn't sugarcoat anything in her explanations. Her and her friendly staff are always quick to respond to any messages on MyChart and I can always get an appointment within a couple of days. I look forward to having her care for my basic gynecological health, PCOS, and future reproductive needs."

"I’m 2+ months pregnant and had recently suffered from a very serious car accident. I was referred to her to get a leave of absence from work and referred to a specialty dr while visiting her. Prior to the “good” doctor entering my room her and her MA (there’s no way she was a nurse because as a fellow nurse we conduct ourselves in a professional manner) were talking about me and giggling outside of my door. That shows that she doesn’t care about her patients or about how I’m feeling. She opened the door and by that time I was officially done with her. She did not assist in any way and I shortened our visit. She asked if she would be doing my maternal care and I informed her that there’s no way that I would EVER allow anyone like her to care for me nor my child with the horrible experience I encountered today. After encountering some of the best doctors I know what the bad ones look like and she’s definitely not a good one. Never go to a Dr who mocks you, and refuses to listen to you even worst believe you. I left there really upset about being pregnant in Charlotte, NC because of being unsure about these doctors. So avoid! Avoid! Avoid!"

"I have really enjoyed working with Dr. Hopkins. She is very personable, kind and understanding. She's able to answer all of my questions and I feel like she truly does care. I would highly recommend her and the Randolph OB/GYN practice to anyone in the area needing care."
