Dr. David D. Kim, MD 143-16 Sanford Avenue, Queens, NY 11355

"There is no doubt Dr.Kim is kind and professional. But if you dont have insurance, I would recommend you to other places. The collection issue that other reviews mentioned is really a problem. I would rather pay the amount that the lab indicated from the beginning and keep my credit score intact."

"Without going into too much detail, I waited a long time to review this doctor. I waited until I was less angry about my experience to post and I am posting in hopes it can save someone’s life. I was seeing a different doctor that I thought wasn’t as experienced and turned to Dr.Kim because he had great reviews and had experience that I thought would make my time as a first time mother better, who better to guide me through the journey than someone who knows what he’s doing. Or so I thought. My first meetings and visits with Dr. Kim were good, although he was very hesitant to take me on as a patient, which was odd but I digress. I noticed over the next few weeks after I had him as a doctor that I began to gain weight pretty rapidly, despite not overeating and walking (waddling) everywhere so I was exercising. Dr. Kim did not take this issue seriously, instead he told me to stop eating greasy/fatty foods and to drink more water. Unfortunately, what Dr. Kim did not look at was that this seemed to be warning signs that I was in the beginning stages of developing life threatening pre-eclampsia. I fit all the criteria for women prone to getting the disease and while I followed the doctor’s instructions I noticed I began to get more swollen, lethargic and water weight began to flood to my limbs. I was so swollen that the mattress design indented into my back. Long story short, I went to the hospital for a checkup and had vitals so bad they wouldn’t release me, immediately admitted me and a week later I gave birth ten weeks early. My daughter spent time in the NICU and is now a happy, healthy 6 year old. I say all this to say that my experience with the doctor was not bad but he did not do his job in understanding me as a patient and to some extent kept brushing me off and didn’t take my concerns seriously, which he should have. When the patient speaks, listen. I’m grateful to NYHQ surgeons and staff who saved my life, but I wish I could also be grateful to the man who was my OBGYN and didn’t look out for his patients best interests. The staff at the office is nice, but the doctor has to be present with his patients when they come to him with concerns."

"Dr. David Kim is such a great GYN Doctor! He truly cares for his patients and takes his time; I never feel rushed! He always asks if I have any questions for him and answers the best to his knowledge. He's very gentle when getting checked vaginally, which I'm grateful for since my previous Drs used to be rough. The office has a 2 car parking structure and is very easy to get to from Main Street, if you're walking. I truly recommend him!"

"Dr. Kim is an excellent doctor, very caring and likes to inform you on every detail, he is a very sweet man and he genuinely cares for his patients. He will give you his personal cell if he knows your concerned about something so you can reach him. If your looking for a great doctor, then you should see Dr. Kim."
