Dr. Carolyne Tan Lim, MD

we love her

Dr. Lim has been my children's pediatrician for 2 years now and I am so pleased with her. She is very knowledgeable and professional. She diagnosed my son correctly after doctors at CHOC were unable to accurately diagnose and treat him. She is always smiling and takes the time to interact and play with my children. Her staff members are so kind and know me by name. I never feel rushed out like I do with many other physicians. Her office space is small and in an old building, but there is always a children's movie playing in the waiting area, and they have children's books available. My children just love her and so do I.

I couldn't believe the filth in this office! Being here just made me cringe my kids were going to catch something!

Me and my husband moved to the area, and I knew my top priority was finding a good doctor for our 16 month old daughter. She has had some issues with her eating. She will absolutely not eat table food, and the only thing I can get her to eat is baby food with carrots or sweet potatoes. Yes, her skin has an orangey glow because of it, but I know it's not harmful and that is not my concern. I have done plenty of research and nowhere does it say too much beta-carotene is harmful!!! Dr. Lim could not give me any advice, tips, or even recommendations on how to get her to eat food, and she seemed to only care that she was a tad orange. And then she proceeds to tell me it can do harm to her brain!! Which is a complete lie!! Either she is totally misinformed, or she makes lies up to her patients! I would never go back there, nor would I ever send my worst enemy to her!! Her waiting room is disgustingly dirty, has no toys even though she treats children! My daughter got so bored waiting forever… for her! And to top it off, they pricked her finger to check her iron levels, and then left the room immediately after, leaving her to bleed everywhere! I had to ask for a bandaid!! Ridiculous!!! This woman should not have a medical license!!
