Dr. Yuri M. Kim, DO

So I came into Dr. Yuri Kim cause I have HMO insurance and boy did I get lucky and pick a GREAT dermatologist, I have SUPER extra sensitive skin and even lidocaine numbing cream burns my skin easily. I had super overdried skin and just in bad shape, with red spots on my face. Made an appt started using her products especially her triple hydrating serum which literally I CANNOT live without.. After she fixed my skin I started doing botox and fillers with Dr. Kim and I refuse to get botox & fillers elsewhere (like a medi spa or friends that do that for a living) and yes its a tad pricier from a medi spa but I just cannot trust anyone else with my facial skin. And the products are UPSCALE products and I feel alot more comfortable that Dr Kim is Board Certified and knows exactly what can fix your skin and how much botox/fillers you need to feel and look amazing :-) Dr. Kim THANK YOU!! For making me feel beautiful and correcting my skin to what it should be :-) My husband is very… HAPPY TOO with my face results ever since I Have been going to Dr. Kim :-)

I went in to check on child-hood sun damage turned my face over to Dr. Yuri Kim for her to find a small freckle type of blemish turned out to be a Melanoma. She and her staff get a 12 for her attention to the details on my mug. Thank you!!!

Highly disappointed with my interactions with this doctor. She speeds through appointments, talks fast as though she is quickly trying to move on to the next patient, and has an energy as though she is both afraid of dermatological issues and people alike. The extent of her diagnosis and follow up was looking at the problem area from a 3 foot distance with her hands in her lap, and taking before and after pictures-- of which she did not take the time to look at with me to demonstrate that there was improvement. When I asked if we could look at the pictures together and have her show me how to gauge signs of improvement (it is not immediately visually apparent), Dr Kim became very defensive, agitated, and dismissive. It was a very off-putting interaction to have with a doctor. I had to ask her why she was speaking to me the way that she was, because it was so strange, combative, and unwarranted. After leaving Dr. Kim's office I neither feel at ease about the medical attention I… received (her quickly saying, 'this issue is SOOOO much better', when that's not apparent to the layperson’s eye. Everything felt quick, distanced, and slap dash. Perhaps a few extra moments of imparting her expertise, and telling me how to view things through her eyes would have resolved this issue—- but instead she dismissively said I was welcome to get a 2nd opinion... what? I never said I didn’t trust her— I was just asking for her to explain what I was seeing, and what I should expect to see in the future. This is not an abnormal request for a patient to ask to be informed about what the changes they are and can be expected to go through. Why is her first response to escalate such a simple query to that? Simply bizarre), nor the interpersonal doctor-patient interaction I received. I will absolutely look for different dermatological care in the future.

Dr. Kim rushes you through and is very dismissive of your concerns. Her policy to only discuss one issue per visit is very unprofessional and appears to be a total money grab. Hundreds of dollars spent for a visit that only lasted a few minutes. I had another virtual visit and it only lasted two minutes. Ended up with a serious infection after a treatment with her and had to go to an emergency room to have it corrected. Dr. Kim was too busy ? to see me. Never again.

Dr. Kim is very kind, thorough, and very detailed. Highly recommend.

I’ve been going to Dr. Kim for skin checks and I highly recommend her. She has a keen eye and is trustworthy.

Very happy with my services with Dr. Kim. Thank you!

Truly horrible experience. Rude, inattentive, aggressively vague about treatments. Seems to hate/be threatened by questions from patients. You’re a doctor, learn how to explain things.

This is the worst dermatology office I’ve been to. It’s very clear that the office is all about making money and has little to no concern about patient health and well-being. They have taken more than a week to respond to correspondence about something medical, but get in touch immediately about payment and needing to pay before a virtual appointment. I have a severe skin condition that is handled well with specialty medication. It took 2 months after an initial appointment, followed by ANOTHER appointment (meaning $$$ for the office) for the same concern for me to finally get information needed for medication. The staff in the office were extremely rude and somehow repeatedly (maybe intentionally) misunderstood the steps to handle the paperwork. I felt dismissed and gaslit by the staff members. I ended up having to call my insurance providers ~20 times to play telephone whenever the office staff encountered any small roadblock (that I often needed to check in about, otherwise they… would just drop it). There are lots of things I’m not allowed to fill out or have access to as a patient, but the office staff acted like the paperwork process was my responsibility when I was not allowed to have access to certain forms that needed to be filled out by the physician’s office. I’ve had 2 other dermatologists go through the exact same process which was done and approved within a week without work or follow-up needed from me (aside from one phone call with a clarifying question from the office, which does NOT require paying for a whole other visit). I wish I could have stayed with them but have been moving to different states for work over the past several years. It may be tempting to go to Clarity Dermatology because they can take appointments quickly, but you’ll end up wasting SO much more time and money in the long run, AND get treated poorly along the way.

After a couple of visits to her clinic, i found out the followings: Dr. Kim is very professional, kind, friendly and helpful. This is the doctor you would recommend to your friends and relatives.
