Dr Janet Kim is great! Straight forward, answers all your questions. BuT the best thing is she fluently bilingual in English and Korean! Very down yo earth.. The downside to this office is her from staff.. not very knowledgeable and not too friendly. Also, they do have very odd hours... also, their phone is weird. If you call during their open hours and it goes straight to voice-mail (but you can't leave any message since their mailbox is full) most likely they are on the phone and you need to keep calling back. If your mailbox is full, perhaps delete the old messages so you can receive new messages from live patients? I'd give them 5stars for Dr Janet Kim but had to knock stars off for the front staff. If we can't get an appointment or get through, we can't sew Dr Kim! read more

I (a GROWN grown adult) scheduled an appointment for allergies and was very surprised to get there and see it was a pediatric PCP office. The receptionist/medical assistant was brand new; it was her first day so Dr. Kim was frantically trying to teach her things while making phone calls and trying to check me in. When I finally got into an exam room, Dr. Kim spent a grand total of 2 minutes discussing my allergies (the ONLY reason I was there), and another 1 1/2 hours discussing my general health and using scare tactics. She knew I have anxiety, and it truly seemed like she purposely droned on and on about scary medical situations, watching for my reaction. Her choice of words were quite appalling, too. I left her office with a huge stack of orders for bloodwork and other medical tests that had nothing to do with allergies. I have a PCP that I regularly see and trust, so none of this was even necessary. And no, not a single thing was done or prescribed for my allergies. read more

So my baby had a fever, I wanted to get medical advice from the pediatrician called 5x to No availability and left message with no return call although the answering says they will call back in 30 minutes. So I gave my baby over the counter Tylenol 2ml and the fever went down for the night. 2nd night, he had a fever at 3am and I ended up giving him more Tylenol to relieve his fever. Since this pediatric was not returning my phone call my wife and I went to her clinic to find that they only work Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Apparently there was a lady that does the appointments and takes phone calls there that told us that she couldn't return all the calls since "there's a thousand of you and one of me" epic rudeness, no regard for care, and laziness due in part by her staff. Please take your baby elsewhere if you care about their well being. read more

I had an appointment for my son's 9 month check up last week, and as a mom I'm sure you understand I had some questions we all wait to be answered at these specific doctor appointments. First off, the check in was ok, just signed some paperwork and was asked for my id/shot record. Then, the older receptionist forgot to give me my ID while it was sitting on the counter where everyone can see it, so my husband asked for it back. I was called promptly, the Medical assistant took my sons height weight, and head circumference pretty fast. Was then taken to the exam room where Dr. Janet Kim came in, only check my son's heartbeat for 5 seconds, gave him 2 vaccines, and barged out. Didn't let me ask any questions, I even wrote questions on the healthy baby forms that she scanned through with her eyes in front of me, it was truly upsetting and disappointing. I've been an MA for many years and this is NOT how you treat patients. What's the point of becoming a doctor if you aren't even going to take the time and listen to them? What if something is wrong with my son, and she couldn't catch it because of how rushed her "service" is. She only treats some patients with patience and respect, I noticed. We were the only Latino family there and she paid attention more to her Korean/Asian patients. I also was not given any shot record for me to keep which is important. I changed my sons clinic to somewhere elsewhere, where we will be treated with common decency and respect. 0 stars if I could. read more

Love Dr Kim! I live about an hour away, however don't mind the drive. She always answers all my questions, and I never feel rushed. Working in the healthcare industry, I know the challenges one faces looking for a provider that is genuine. She never disappoints. read more

I work at a pediatricians office, i called Dr. Kim office to get an immediate report, the staff was very rude and would interrupt me and place me on hold while i was speaking. I called 5 times and the same thing happened, rudely speaking to me and offered no form of assistance . i would recommend you NOT VISIT THIS ESTABLISHMENT. THE OTHER 5 STAR REVIEWS ARE FROM HER FAMILY. BEWARE. read more

First of all, i have been visiting this office for 7years! Never had any complaints or bad experience had before. Lastly their receptionist (old lady) she WAS SOO RUDE TO THE CLIENTS AND ACT LIKE DOCTOR! Who is she???? read more

My children became patients of Dr. Kim when our old pediatrician was retiring. I was a bit nervous about the transition since my kids has always been with the previous one and my oldest being 11... (Get the picture?) well we have been with Dr. Kim for about 4 years now, maybe 5... She is an excellent doctor. Great to talk to about my concerns, not too adamant about giving unnecessary. Antibiotics! Which I love because I've seen how other Drs quickly want to shove amoxicillin down your child's throat. I've often showed up without appointment with at least 2 of my kids die to a sudden illness and it hasn't been a problem for the doctor. The front desk Is well staffed, and the waiting room clean with kid books to read. There is ample parking space. Bottom line, great dr, great clean office, and free parking!!! Oh and if you should ever need it, there's a pharmacy across the building! read more

Janet S Kim, MD - Pediatricians Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Terrible staffs. They don't know what to do. I recommend you'd better change primary doctor if you need specialist for your kids.

Dr. Kim CARES! I just had a virtual consult with her about my outrageous allergies. Ive never had a doctor cover all the possibilities like she did. We sat on video call for a whole hour with endless questions leading to others. When the call ended, Dr. Janet Kim knew everything about my father, mother, 3 brothers, dog, etc. During this call, she collected every single possible spec of relateable intel she could get, and transformed it into multiple realistic possibilites. If i wanted an appoitment, next week. Presciption? Within hours. Contact with questions? Any time. I truly appreciate that instead of her just getting through her day like everyone else, she invested in mine. Very educated in current medicine. Get the care you deserve here! read more

A few complaints. First the nurse will stab a 7 year old with a needle with one quick word that she'll take his blood. Most all nurses will give adults more warning than that to get themselves prepared. After, all she says is "I told him" with cold indifference like she gave him fair warning. Second, if your child needs to see the Dr. immediately forget about it. Either the receptionist will tell you they're booked for several days, go to the ER at a hospital or give you an urgent care number. First time I called the number they gave me, they answered and said they don't take children. Second time around when they said they were booked and gave me a different number the so called urgent care doesn't even answer. So I call back Dr. Janet Kim's office repeatedly and it goes straight to a message saying the line cannot be connected every time. This is from dealing with the Korean receptionist. I don't know if they're intentionally playing games, they are that unprofessional or they just don't want to deal with children in pain but this has been my experience. They just don't seem to care is what comes to mind with this pediatrician and her operation. One more thing, they'll ask you who the patient is before telling you that they're booked. Like they're screening you to see if you're even worthy to fit you in? I don't know if this is common practice but along with all their other antics I wouldn't be surprised if they do screen you. read more

My nephews have been coming to Janet Kim's office of years, and they were already treated kindly with the attention they need. Now that I have own child, it was an obvious choice to bring her here for all her medical needs. Making appoiments over the phone is easy, the front desk staff are extremely friendly and efficient. It does get crowded at times, but that just means that all these parents trust Dr. Kim's practice. read more

Dr Kim is great. She's great with my baby. I love that she's professional (no fuss and no nonsense) but friendly enough. People complain about the front desk. I never had any problem with them. They've always been great. There's one down side, which I won't take a star away from. The office is terrible at picking up their phone. And I kind of know why. One time, I was waiting in the office to see Dr. Kim. And the front desk was on the phone w/ one mom for at least 20 minutes. The mom had a question about something and the front desk was on the phone w/ her trying to figure out. Great for the lady on the phone, but sucks for moms trying to get through the line when they have urgent questions. :( read more

Love this clinic for my newborn baby girl. Dr. Kim is very knowledgeable and is an expert for newborns. I love that they have a newborn day on Wednesdays to limit my baby's exposure in the waiting room. Dr. Kim answered all of our questions and was very patient with us, and with our baby who pooped and peed all over her. read more

Dr. Kim already transferred to a new clinic near Virgil and 6th streets. Awesome doctor! Clinic is neat. Staff are amazing. Your baby will be seen exactly or even before the appointed time. This lady doctor knows what she is doing. read more

The most terrible hospital in my entire life. Receptionists are all all all extremely unfriendly and bad. They never receive call. My baby was sick and no one amswer and the call just ended wihtout answer. They ignore my call so many times and the ly are terrible terrible terrible. I am hoping the office soon close and never open again. So bad. I've never seen such a bad bad bad bad bad bad bad hospital in my entire life read more

Dr. Kim has been a primary doctor of my daughter last 2 years. She was a very professional, compassionate, and knowledgeable doctor. I have never had any problem with treatment that Dr. Kim has provided my daughter with. On top of that, I have never had a problem with scheduling. Staff members at Dr. Kim's office were also very professional. One day, my daughter had high fever and I was so panicked. I called the office to schedule an appointment. The staff understood my situation and allowed us to come on the same day when I made a call. I visited Dr. Kim's office for examination right away. I felt so grateful for their help and contribution to my daughter. I am expecting the 2nd baby soon, and I would not hesitate to choose Dr. Kim for a primary pediatrician of my 2nd baby. I has been so satisfied with Dr. Kim and her staff members. For sure, I recommend!!! read more

The staff were great and wait time was about 20 mins on our first visit. I think we were in and out within an hour. The doctor was great, totally bilingual. read more

Dr. Kim is an awesome Pediatrician, she takes good care of our first born child. The staff is super friendly and the office,even though really busy due to popularity for Dr. Kim, has maintain an efficiently running schedule. Her sessions with our child are quick and she gets right to the point, and even though for a first time mom it can be a bit overwhelming, Dr. kim manages to keep us on top of our child medical needs. Shout out to Ms. Sanchez and the other girls behind the counter, you're awesome!! read more

Dr. Kim is like your baby's grandma and your wife's mother. She knows how to take care of the baby while calming down my wife. No drama. No fluff. Just the right amount of truth with the lightest touch. I am not moving far away from her. She even text me back at 11pm when my baby had an emergency. Better response time than my own mother! She is great for 1st time parents who are clueless as their child. read more

I've been taking my son to Dr.Janet Kim's office since he was born. We were really happy with Dr.Kim's patience & knowledge but now we had to leave her office because of her discriminative & rude staffs! its not a problem because she is not the only pediatrician in LA. Her office manager is horrible human being. She is mean capital "B". I hope the doctor knows the real face of her staffs. Im sure in front of doctor's face they all act normal & nice but they mistreat their little patients. Every children should be treated equally especially when they are sick or feeling down. Clearly, not here Its really sad that so many people hate their jobs but they are just there to make money. read more

We love Dr.Janet Kim she's a great doctor and you can tell she loves her job. the front office staff are amazing and go beyond customer services. When i had a question about my daughter overall health and what food to give her Dr.Kim would take her time to answer me and made feel like a great mother. thank you for everything you have done for my daughter. read more

I visited this office once with a family member and saw Dr Kim scream at her employees in front of us which angered me, what a professional doctor she proves to be, acting like that with her employees, that young lady left the room looking sad, and that angered me so much, this is not the slave era where you can scream and treat them like servants... treat your employees well next time and don't be a B! read more

Dr.kim and the staff's are very caring to babies and kind to the patients though they are always busy working with a lot of patients. The Korean staff, Bella, she has been always professional with work and friendly, communicative and helpful whenever I asked questions. read more

Dr. Janet Kim is a wonderful lady and a wonderful doctor! She cared for our son for about a year, from the time he was born until we moved away from Los Angeles. She has a common sense approach, doesn't over-prescribe tests, procedures or medications that are unnecessary, and genuinely cares for the well-being of her patients. I just wish more doctors and pediatricians were as talented and caring as she is! read more

Dr. Kim has been wonderful to my niece. She was very caring and concerned about my niece's acne and she compassionately talked to her about her skin condition and her cleansing regimen. This was a huge relief to my niece, since she is very awkward in her adolescence, especially when talking to unfamiliar adults. My niece was relieved to be treated kindly and to have her skin look better, too. We are very happy with Dr. Kim's bedside manner and her level of expertise. read more

Usually I only use Yelp to look for new places rather than write reviews, but this MD is not trustworthy nor careful professional. My infant niece went to this doctor this morning because he kept vomiting after eating formula and she said that "its not a big problem at all, ALL infants have upset stomachs and its normal for the baby to throw up.". So my family drove all the way out to LA for her to just say its a "normal" thing and now my infant niece is in CHOC (Children's hospital of Orange County) and the pediatrician's at CHOC says she needs surgery. Keep in mind that this is happened on the same day. I don't know why Janet Kim, AN MD, could have possibly thought my niece was in a "normal" condition. This upsets me very much and I'm praying that my niece going to be okay. I don't know whether she had made an "honest" mistake but I am furious and none of my family or friends will ever go back to that place again. read more

The lady at the front desk was very unfriendly. Never been treated like that from other Doctor's office. I would never visit this office any more read more

I agree with others. A Front Desk ladies are very unfriendly and rude. Especially the Korean lady. My child has been Dr.Kim's patient for 2 years and that lady is always unfriendly. She shouldn't work at pediatrician's office. read more

My Child has been Dr. Kim's patient for almost 3 years now. And they had a really unfriendly front desk ladies coming and going. Now finally they've got a friendly one. read more

After having a horrible experience with my precious pediatrician, Dr. Janet Kim was a breathe of fresh air. She is very personable and always happy to see you. She greets each child as if she just saw them yesterday. My 1st child for the 1st time did not cry after getting her shots. When k take in my second kid for check ups with my first, she is excited to see her doctor. She makes the experience fun and exciting for children. She is very straight forward with her answers to any question you may have. She does not try to give your children unnecessary medicine. Definitely recommend. read more

So far Janet Kim has been the best who has many years of experience at UCLA.
