Deborah Kim showed zero empathy to me when I had an appointment with her after experiencing a traumatic event. I felt so much worse after meeting with her. She wanted to put me on 3 different drugs long term after meeting with me for 45 minutes. This is so irresponsible and frankly, lazy. Thankfully I realized how misguided Dr. Deborah Kim was, and quickly found another psychiatrist who actually listened to what I was experiencing and offered tools and humanity, rather than heavy-hitting medications. I'm grateful to that I found a different psychiatrist to alleviate the damage done by the apathy of Deborah Kim. It is remarkable how this other, skilled psychiatrist facilitated healing from the trauma over a course of a couple of months, while Dr. Kim actually made it worse within 45 minutes. Writing this review in hopes that no one else will endure the harm I did by scheduling with Dr. Deborah Kim.

We recommend avoiding Dr. Kim’s practice. She is nothing more than an assembly line type physician. Bedside manner is terrible and fails to develop a repour with her patients.

Her ego gets in the way. I would not recommend her for therapy. She’s ok with meds but you can find less expensive and better docs.

Dr Kim is an extremely bright, knowledgeable thorough and kind and compassionate physician. Best doctor I have ever seen. She not only saved my life, but she also vastly improved the quality of it. I can not say enough great things about her.
