5.0 star star star star starFrom day 1 at the clinic, Dr Kim has made herself available to keep my treatments going forward. Though we do not meet with Dr Kim regularly, she is always up to date on my file is consistently working behind the scenes to ensure we get the best care.She is able to make treatment recommendations based on years of experience in the field. She talks to her patients with full transparency and puts the facts out there and as to why she recommends a specific treatment.

5.0 star star star star starI come into every appointment with a list of questions I never have to ask because Dr. Kim anticipates my wants and concerns. Her knowledge and thoroughness made a very daunting process easier to navigate.I can’t praise her enough, she’s an incredible doctor.

3.0 star star star star_border star_borderDr. Kim was very insightful. I felt she was going through the motions of the appointment though rather than seeing me as a person. She would interrupt me frequently when I tried to express my concerns and ask questions completely unrelated to what we were talking about. I understand there is a lot to cover quickly but I felt like a chart rather than a person and wish she had given me more space to talk. She may be the expert on fertility but im the expert on my lived experience. There were things I had written down that I wanted to discuss but since I felt she already had a diagnosis on me before I even logged into the call I didn’t feel it was even worth bringing up. I left the call a bit put off. This is a sensitive area and I felt there could’ve been a lot more sensitivity and personalization in the appointment.

3.0 star star star star_border star_borderIt felt like the physician did not thoroughly read my chart prior to SIS. She also mentioned something was abnormal which really caused anxiety given my health history. I wish she would have explained or assured more.l given my history. I felt like the team was not all on the same page

5.0 star star star star starDr. Kim is kind and clearly very knowledgeable. She takes something complicated like fertility and cycle tracking and makes it very easy to understand. She takes her time to look a her patient as a whole not just in terms of their reproductive past.

5.0 star star star star starDr Kim is an exceptional physician. She is caring, empathetic, very pleasant and takes the time to go through everything every step of the way. I was seeing another physician at the clinic few years ago, and it was not pleasant encounters. I am so glad that when I came back, I was matched with Dr Kim

5.0 star star star star starDr. Kim is a great communicator, she anticipated my questions and took the time to carefully explain everything. She is thoughtful and has been extremely helpful in navigating a difficult process, from scheduling to talking through my questions.

2.0 star star star_border star_border star_borderI found her bedside manner to be lacking. I experienced an anxious time in my pregnancy and I found her to be a bit negative and only highlighting the possible negative outcomes. My ultrasound and blood work were completely normal and I felt her tone and message were just off.

External Professional Relationships
Pharmaceutical, device, and biotechnology companies frequently collaborate with basic scientists and physicians within an academic medical center to help advance science and improve patient care. These relationships are important in achieving scientific breakthroughs and in establishing the effectiveness and safety of promising new therapies. In order to assure objectivity in clinical research and patient care, the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine (Feinberg), Northwestern Memorial HealthCare, Children's Hospital of Chicago Medical Center, and the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab have adopted integrity policies that require research and clinical faculty (in full-time, part-time, and unpaid/voluntary categories) to report compensated and uncompensated external industry relationships. Patients are encouraged to discuss these disclosures with their physician as well as to inquire as to how these relationships are overseen by Feinberg.
