Upon entering my room the first thing the MD said to me was, "well you can't seem to get enough of us can you?"My last appointment was in JANUARY. It is DECEMBER. That didn't necessarily feel like a warm welcome.

Dr. Kim is very knowledgeable and answers questions with full confidence. However, since he is very busy, patients should prepare their questions in advance.
- 2 out of 5 starsReviewed on 10/2/2025
He may be a fine surgeon, but my outcome has been poor and my ability to reach care team was poor. I addressed this directly with the Dr on two separate occasions. He diflected both times.

Dr Kim and his team are great
- 4 out of 5 starsReviewed on 8/29/2025
I was surprised that the MD "assumed" which lens would be implanted. There was no prior discussion of options. I literally asked the resident/fellow what lens was being implanted and he wasn't sure. He raised it with Kim who did discuss it with me but this should have been a priority for a prior visit.

- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 7/6/2025
Excellent
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 7/5/2025
Dr. Kim is the absolute BEST! I know this not only because my left eye now has clear vision for the first time in two years. Or that I went to another eye surgeon before I found Dr. Kim and he wouldn't perform the cataract procedure (for whatever reason). But, the fellow who was shadowing Dr. Kim said that he was a great surgeon AND a great teacher. That speaks volumes!
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 7/3/2025
Dr Kim identified the problem and took care of it for me

I love the care my provider gives me but due to long waits won't be able to refer . Most people don't want to spend long hours at the doctorsofgice
- 3 out of 5 starsReviewed on 5/23/2025
I have always been Dr. Kim's biggest fan and maybe he was just having an off-day, but he didn't seem to give me thorough answers to my questions or fully address my concerns. He seemed tired and even a bit disinterested.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 5/15/2025
EXCELLENT SERVICE!!!!!
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 5/12/2025
I always highly recommend Emory & have for decades

No issues at all.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 5/4/2025
I hope Dr. Kim never retires. And if he (for some reason) chooses to leave the Emory practice, I will follow him wherever he goes. I already drive about 3 hours to see him.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 5/3/2025
Dr. Kim examined my eyes for what seemed like a longer time than usual but it was well worth it! He explained so much to me and then referred me to another doctor to help with my issue. Super happy and while the results were not what I "wanted to hear", I am happy that I have answers until my next visit.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 5/1/2025
I know Dr.Kim is very busy with his case load.He explained that now is the time for cataract surgery. I saw the pictures of blurry cataracts.

My technician was very patient with me, as I had difficulty reading the eye chart. And sometimes deciding between 1 and 2 seemed like an impossible choice.Dr. Kim is a level above all other eye specialists. He not only knows his stuff, he addresses your concenrs and waylays your fears. He's awesome, and I'm so happy my friend referred me.

One part of the visit was to check my glasses prescription. After I had the glasses made and tried them on this week, I learned that the prescription was dramatically incorrect. This is the second time this has happened in the last 3-4 years. It is an unacceptable error and has wasted a substantial amount of my time in needing a repeat visit, having to get new glasses made, etc.
- 2 out of 5 starsReviewed on 3/3/2025
I just didnt get answers the first time so I got another appointment, And I still left with the feeling that I was just rushed through

I am Dr. Kim Young's patient for more than 20 years and I have never had problem with the cataract surgery he did on both my eyes.. I am happy with the treatments, prescriptions and his advise about what I should do to protect my eyes from the risk of diabetic complications, which helped me to keep my eyes as healthy as they possibly be. For that, I officially thank Dr. Kim Young.

I have always been very satisfied with Dr. Kim and his treatment of my problem.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 10/19/2024
Dr. Kim is the best and I would proudly recommend him were it not for my disappointment in Emory itself. I saw a cornea specialist at another practice when I could not get an appointment with Dr. Kim due to an incident with Emory's phone staff I reported previously. As much as I love and trust Dr. Kim, I would have to recommend the other doctor I saw solely due to the courtesy and efficiency of his staff.

Dr Kim is excellent and he was the only doctor to prescribe serum tears which has worked well for me

I have been coming to Dr. Kim for many years now, and he performed my lens implant surgery. I'm always so grateful for his expertise and dedication to the patient. He is very friendly, greeted me and my husband upon coming into the room, cheerful and compassionate, and will take the time with you to address all your needs. We drive for 2 hours to get to the clinic and it's well worth it to see Dr. Kim. I feel like I'm in excellent hands.
