Dr. Jean Kim, MD, PhD

If you are reading the reviews on this site vs the Hopkins one, good for you. I only read the reviews on the Hopkins site and they were WRONG. And guess what, my visit was two months ago and I am still waiting for Hopkins to send me a survey to fill out. I suspect they only send them to certain patients, and I also think some of those reviews they feature on their site when you google this doctor might be fake (so many five star reviews without a single comment? really?). The reviews written on this site here reflect my experiences, 100%. This doctor is rude and she rushes through appointments. It is not just that she has no time for your questions, she gives you the idea you should not be asking her anything. She sighs when you do. Like you should just listen to what she says and nod, even when she is getting details wrong as she is talk gin to you (Like I told your nurse, my nose is runny at night! Not constantly). She gets multiple details wrong on the written up after visit summary. When she does the exam, she doesn't tell you what she's going to do, she just shoves things up your nose (not gentle at all). Her after visit report was wrong on multiple counts, including basic things like which exams she did and how long she spent. She did not diagnose my problem or even spend any time on asking me questions or talking to me. She did her exam, then she prescribed the exact same spray my primary care lady had already tried, and I had already told her it didn't work. she even sent her nurse in to tell me she had sent a script over to the pharmacy so I couldn't question her (I asked the nurse what it was and then told the nurse I'd already said I'd tried that one, the nurse seemed embarrased and said she was already in her next appointment so I couldn't ask her about the script (or her diagnosis or anything else, the nurse said to read the report. What a joke, report all wrong). For this, I took a day off work, a long drive in rush hour traffic, parking charge, and came out of there feeling way more upset than when I went in. If this is the best the great Hopkins medicine can offer, they should be ashamed. Please stay away from her and don't believe the reviews on the other site. This site, you can tell, real people, real experiences and not coming from a Hopkins survey where people are probably afraid of offending a doctor they have to see because of their health plan or whatever. Do yourself a favor and stay away from this doctor, she's literally the worse one I've ever seen.

First visit seemed alright. Average, seemed to care and pay attention. The second visit they were running late, just rushed right through it. I complained of dryness and headache in the sinus regions. She gave me a spray which is supposed to stop runny nose. This medication can also cause nose bleed due to the dryness it can cause. Later I looked at the visit summary and it said that I had complained of profuse runny nose. I said no such thing. I said dryness dryness dryness.

I flew in from Texas to see this doctor. Johns Hopkins is supposed to be the best right? Spent 3 minutes with me, most of which were spent talking to the resident as if I were not there. I thought doctors are supposed to listen to complaints, and not tell the patient "all is well" when clearly it isn't. Will never return. Will not pay my bill.

She spent very little time with me and did not adequately explain my condition. She gave me a prescription for a nose spray and wrote it with no refills. It lasted 30 days. She made no appointment for a follow up visit and has not returned my calls concerning my on going condition. I got the impression my health care was her business but not her concern.

I was seeing Dr Kim for chronic sinusitis and was asked to get blood drawn and a CT Scan. I have had many CT Scans and Blue Cross Blue Shield did not cover blood and CT at the Center. I had to go elsewhere to get it done. I returned for my visit with a CD of my CT Scan and it was unreadable. I felt terrible. I had waited an hour and was sent away to get another one. I told the doctor how bad I was still feeling and was still sent away to get another CT Scan without her looking at me. Paid 6.00 in tolls to get there and 6.00 to park, a wasted day off from work. I still feel bad and her uncaring attitude did not help. Will not return.

Got me through a very tough disease and did everything possible to quell my fears of the needed surgery. I am well after 10 years and still at the same job.
