Perry, we were not "in the process of filling out paperwork" we filled out paperwork and made it into the exam room. What do you mean my review has no merrit because my daughter wasn't seen by you??? My review is for the experience we had at your practice. You're worried about protecting others and your practice? If others are vaccinated and you're scared about a newborn who's not then how confident are you about the vaccine you're pushing actually protecting others? I'm sure it has nothing to do with $ right? I get it though. You have orders to follow. read more

I've been a patient of Dr. Lim's for 14 years and his office, staff, and quality of care have been amazing. He always makes sure that I have felt welcome and comfortable, and has always listened to any concerns with genuine care! The office staff is also exceptionally supportive and kind, which is a huge plus! I would recommend his office to any patient! read more

I was a patient of Dr. Lim's since I was a child, and had only stopped once I became an adult and moved cities. Dr. Lim is a very professional pediatrician who's main priority is to care for his patients. I've always felt that he cared for me and did what he could to support me. Even now that I'm no longer seeing him, he still supports me and has been a great mentor as I likewise pursue a career in medicine. Dr. Lim is very knowledgeable and straightforward, and is always open to hearing concerns, no matter how minor. You will be in good hands. read more

I should've read the reviews on this half ass pediatrician. He will make sure to collect his money but won't make sure his quality of care is the best he can give. He did a terrible job on my sons circumcision. My poor son went through having this painful procedure done and due to this careless MD my son will have to undergo this painful procedure for a 2nd time. He did not remove nearly enough skin leaving him to look uncircumcised. All this idiot could say is that this is what can happen. No accountability for his incompetence!!! read more

We have been seeing Perry Lim for 4+ years for our daughter who is 4 year old. We recently blessed with another son and we started seeing him for our son too. We have been lucky never run into complex medical issues. But every time our daughter was sick (may be only twice in 4 year) , we pretty much got appointment same day or very next day. One thing really great about him is that he keeps parents calm no matter whatever going on with child, this is very important since as parent we panic most! Nurses in his clinic are so amazing at giving shot that many time our daughter did not even realized the pinch! I have not seen any other pediatrician but I have heard weird story from other parents (seeing different doctor) and keep realizing how great experience we had with Dr. Perry Lim! Perry lim explains things in very nice way letting us know what is right and why it is important. He also adds right perspective to traditional things people do (like massaging kids, feeding honey to kids , giving bath etc) and let us do things by making us aware of boundaries for child's safety! I would recommend you to ask as many questions you have to Perry Lim, he is never in rush! Also he would be giving large amount of samples and gift bag to you! That is so great! read more

I saw Dr. Lim for ear Piercing appointment for my son. Our experience was pleasant. The facility is clean and welcoming(Although I saw a sign asking parents to take home your child's dirty diapers with them) The staff is friendly. The one thing I wasn't informed on the call while setting up the appointment is they prefer cash or check payment and there is a charge if you want to use a card. I did not get to talk to the staff about this because my baby was crying and upset at the time. I hope they make sure to inform new patients about this. Thank you! read more

Dr. Lim is has been our son's Dr. since he was born and he's great! We never have to wait when we get to the office for an appointment . Even after I gave birth the hospital, Dr. Lim was always there at the time he said he wouuld while other parents were still waiting around for their pediatricians to see thier baby. The staff is also very friendly. They call to remind us a day before we have to come in. Dr. Lim is kind and takes the time to answer your questions. He was very supportive of our desecion to delay some vaccines. When our son was very sick one time, we paged him at 3am and he called back within a couple of minutes. He then called the next morning to check up on us. We cannot say enough great things about him! read more

It disappoints me when parents can't understand that a virus is a real disease but it needs no special medicine, such as antibiotics. Dr Lim is not a quack he is a sociable doctor reliable and considerate he cares about his patients he actually went out of his way one saturday for some patients that have a very busy weekday schedule. And the staff is great! so friendly and welcoming always polite and responsible. I really like beign here as an extern i learned so much all the patients that i would see come in this facility always left happy they seemed as they were well taking care of by Dr.Lim and his staff. I want to thank them for giving me an apportunity to do my extern with them i left with a great experience and confidence. i definitely recommend Dr. Lim (: Happy Thanksgiving! read more

Both of my daughters have been seeing Dr. Lim for over 7 years now. He's been fantastic to my girls. Supportive, informative and attentive are very descriptive of Dr. Lim. He's shown himself to be very patient and considerate during times of stress from me. One of the best things about Dr. Lim is our ability to have a conversation to understand any needs, concerns or questions we have. Our doctor patient relationship is better because of it. To add substance to my review Dr. Lim went out of his way on his day off to see my daughter with the possibility of strep throat. It wasn't a serious situation but to make sure she was ok he made a special trip just to see her. This example alone tells me I made the right choice in going to Dr. Lim. Lastly, Dr. Lim's positive interactions with my daughters have formed a comfortable environment where they aren't afraid of going to the doctor. I recommend eveyone to see Dr. Lim. Make it a point to develop a good relationship with respect and understanding. It's rare to find good care. Appreciate it when you get it. read more

Dr. Lim's care was excellent for both of our children. The only reason we stopped going was we moved out of Milpitas. I would recommend him to anyone with children. His staff was courteous and easy to work with. They all showed extreme care in dealing with our children and were knowledgeable about everything we asked. Dr. Lim returned calls during off-hours "emergencies" on several occasions promptly. which was greatly appreciated. read more

I took my son there today to see if he would be the best fit. I really loved him and his staff when I walked in it smelled and looked really clean, besides the mountain of paper work behind the receptionist. The girls in the front were great with my son and I, and the Dr. was straight forward and to the point! He wasn't quick to right a Rx. He just seemed so authentic! I don't know about other parents but I feel like I'm not looking for a clown with a balloon trying to entertain my son! I'm looking for a REAL pediatrician that gives me quality feed back and educates me on different approaches for my child. read more

Perry Lim, MD - My son on his way to see Dr. Lim - Pediatricians Near Me - Milpitas, California

At first when I switched from Kaiser, I was nervous, because I was born and raised a Kaiser kid. I was afraid that my children would not be receiving the best care if I just chose some random doctor. However, I have come to really like Dr. Lim. He has been the one seeing my youngest son since his 1 month check up, he is 4 now. He has been seeing my oldest son and gladly performs the many physicals that his sports activities require. He is very patient, professional, and polite. Yes, the appointments can be quick. 5-10 minutes if it's really nothing major. But, I have found that if you have questions he will stay and answer. I understand though, I myself see clients daily and sometimes our visits are short because really...if there's nothing wrong...there's nothing wrong. Triaging is a necessity. Why would you stay 30-60 minutes for the common cold? Yes, most of the time he will tell you to push fluids or give Robitussin....but that's pretty much all you can do. Do you really want him to push unneeded antibiotics or treatments? Most of my visits have been just that...the common cold. But I've always left with the reassurance I need that my child does not in fact have scarlet fever or meningitis (oh the life of a hypochondriac). And when my son did need antibiotics for a persistent URI, he gave proper guidance and answered any questions I had. I remember when my youngest was about 1-2 months old and that whole swine flu epidemic was going on, he had a fever of 102.1 at midnight. I panicked. I was able to page Dr. Lim, he called me back within minutes and gave me some advice over the phone. He did not sound tired or annoyed. He told me what to look for, and reassured me not to panic, and advised me to come first thing in the morning for further evaluation. He told me to call back if I felt something else was going on. That's when I knew that this was better than any Kaiser advice line. read more

WONDERFUL!!! AMAZING DOCTOR!!!!! I have two boys, ages 1.5 & 3. Dr. Lim was my younger son's pediatrician since delivery. I wish I had lived in San Jose when my older son was born just so he could've been our pediatrician longer. Dr. Lim is very knowledgable and always took time to explain things to us. He was always patient even if the kids were being extremely fussy and uncooperative. I never had to worry that he would just send us away with medications every time a child sneezed. I loved the fact he would always reassure us that we just need to be patient when they had illnesses that couldn't be treated; and also was quick to prescribe us with necessary medications ONLY when it was needed. This is very rare with pediatricians - believe me, I've had horrible experiences with my first son! His staff is so sweet, always greeting you with a smile. They are friendly and social which makes the experience for the kids much easier. His office is very clean and neat. We just recently moved and I'm very upset that I have to find a new doctor. I'm sure that we will not find anyone like Dr. Lim. I HIGHLY recommend everyone to take your child to him. Once you do, you will never regret it. Trust that they are in great care. We miss them all already!! read more

I worked as a nurse practitioner student with Dr. Lim for approximately 2 weeks. Although I was only w/ Dr. Lim for a short amount of time, I was amazed at his high level of care to his patients. This was demonstrated through his friendly and professional nature, ability to comfort parents of any concerns or issues they were having, and his capacity for staying up-to-date with medical guidelines. Dr. Lim's passion for education during his office visits is what differentiates him from some of the other physicians I have known or worked with. He spends time to understand & educate parents and is not quick to prescribe medications if it is deemed unnecessary. Dr. Lim can be easily reached and also makes an effort to call/follow-up with concerned parents. Additionally, his staff is very welcoming and proficient. The waiting room and patient rooms are nicely decorated with toys, stuffed animals, and children's books, making doctor visits a more positive experience for the patient and family. I would highly recommend Dr. Lim!! read more

I am writing this review base on an incident that happened about a few years ago and I am just getting around to finally writing a review that is needed. I am hoping this office has made some major changes to improve. My daughter was not suppose to get a flu shot but an office worker who was obviously training accidentally gave my daughter the shot in the wrong part of the body thinking she was giving a flu shot until I questioned her, and then she realized her mistake, and quietly didn't say anything and just walked out of the room - leaving me speechless. The doctor came in afterwards to explain the situation that a mistake was made, but that the shot would not affect my child in anyway. It was an immunization shot that was thought to be a flu shot. The doctor ended giving her the proper immunization shot in the right area. I was forgiving and patient. My child obviously was screaming her head of. I looked out for any side effects for the days to follow, but my daughter was fine. However, I still question my reaction to that day. The doctor was calm and didn't freak me out because internally I really was and assured me she would be fine. I wished I would have been more assertive in warning him that what happened was totally unacceptable and there needs to be better follow up for trainies who make such mistakes. After requesting medical records be sent to the school for Kindergarten registration, it took the office weeks to follow up with the school. My daughter nearly missed registration and would have not gotten accepted as a student if it wasn't for me showing up in person to demand the office fax over her medical info to the school. To which the office replied they were not aware of any requests from the school. I showed the office worker a copy of the letter and fax the school sent them in which she simply replied "OH OK" and never apologized or explained what the mishap was. I have never returned back to this office for this reason. The doctor is ok but not very personable. Most parents would prefer a pediatrician that would at least greet their child and introduce themselves to create a comfortable start for an uncomfortable situation for any child (especially before shots). I hope he takes note of this. I feel his approach is that he asks the questions and gives answers that I've already figured out on my own research, and he gets the job done with shots. He just needs to change up his office staff and be a bit more personable. Parents who want to feel a connection with your pediatrician, I would not recommend this office. If you are indifferent, then maybe this office will work for you. read more

We have been coming to Dr Lim since our son was born, and we now take our newborn daughter to him as well. Our son had arrived 6 weeks early so we were in a rush to do things and one of those things was pick a pediatrician. We found him and asked if we could talk to him to find out if he was a good fit and he made time to do that. He is good in treating the kids very straight forward and always willing to answer any questions you may have. One of the things I love about him is he provides his pager for after hours, and he calls back very quickly when you do page him. When my son was still under one we went on a trip and he ended up getting a fairly high fever and we wanted to talk to him. We paged him around 11 pm expecting a call the next day and he called back within a half hour. The office staff is very good and very friendly as well. read more

We've been long time patrons of Dr Lim's, seeing him for 6 years. But I've ultimately decided that its time to see a different pediatrician. Dr Lim has always had poor bedside manners. A passive nonchalance. Asks you questions but doesn't really listen kinda attitude. Which I was willing to overlook for the non-existent waits, kind nursing staff, and the short distance from our home. You won't have issues with him if you keep your interactions to the minimum. Really, we're only ever there to get vaccines and flu shots. Poked and prodded by doc, a couple of shots, and we were on our marry way. Whenever we actually had issues come up, that's when Dr Lim's lack of bedside manner was apparent. Our most recent visit was most especially appalling, and just from this one experience I strongly urge you to put your child's health in the hands of someone else. My 7 year old has recently started having issues of noise sensitivity at school. Whenever the noise levels and chatter started getting too loud for him, he would start stewing in his seat. Making cringing faces and getting teary eyed. One day he scratched himself on the sides of his head hard enough to leave red marks. So his teacher recommended that I take him to a counselor. It would seemingly be common sense to seek advice from your pediatrician as to what steps to take next. Nope, not this pediatrician. After showing him pictures of my son's scratches (he didn't even break skin), he started saying "OH WOW, I've never seen that before!". Asked him what I should do, I think I should take him counseling, etc. "I don't know. I've never seen that before", "Thats pretty crazy that behavior like this would show up in a kid so young", "Thats self-harm!", "SELF-MUTILATION", you get the picture. I went to him as a worried parent seeking advice but instead left in a deeper state of confusion and panic. As if that wasn't enough, he comes back to me with his ipad and asks me if i've looked it up. He proceeds to what looks like a fancy version of web-md my child's symptoms and goes "well this is what popped up, I think this is what he has, so yeah...". EVEN MY 7 YEAR OLD THOUGHT THAT WAS WEIRD. Here's the kicker, he did not even have a good counselor to recommend with confidence. They gave me two random names pulled up from their computer, assured me that these psychologists have no experience handling children as young as mine, AND THE AUDIOLOGISTS HE RECOMMENDED? Weren't even accepting new patients!! Called him to see if he has a different office to recommend and he said I should just check my insurance list. What the heck! SO USELESS. I consulted with a different pediatrician and she was light years more helpful than Dr. Lim. Infinitely nicer too. She assured me that there was nothing to be panicked about. Since I had an only child and it was a single incident, my child is not used to being around obnoxious kids. She said he'll probably only need a few sessions of occupational therapy. Where he can learn about coping techniques and stress management. That's it!! Take your money and your child else where. Dr. Lim's is an over-glorified vaccination office and that's the best you can get out of it. Don't be like me and end up with an incompetent pediatrician when your child needs quality care the most. read more

What I liked about Dr. Lim's practice is that it's always easy to get a same day appt, and he or his replacement (during vacations) will call back almost right away. He also is fine with our decision in following Dr. Sears delayed vaccination schedule. Okay now for the part where I'm not so keen about. I don't like the way that he's negative about me nursing my daughter past 1 year. He also thought it's a waste of time to teach our daughter sign language, luckily we didn't listen to him and she communicates really well with sign language now. He also doesn't give a lot of information unless we ask him specific questions. I also felt rushed a lot of times when I'm in his office. In addition, his nurse also always try to dissuade me from talking directly to him if I have questions, she would try to figure it out herself until I insist on wanting to talk to Dr. Lim. I also sometimes have issues understanding the nurses who also works the front desk due to language barriers, btw, I'm Asian too so I understand their situation but due to what I believe is a miscommunication issue, we had a problem with a nebulizer which frustrated me no end. Dr. Lim said that if our insurance doesn't cover it, we can bring it back. When the nebulizer company told us that it's not covered, i called to ask if Dr. Lim can give me a prescription so I can buy another cheaper one. The nurse said I can't bring it back coz it's used. I told her that Dr. Lim told me I could so she got all flustered and said she's going to call the nebulizer company and then call me back. She never did, the nebulizer company instead called me to ask for the nebulizer back. I called the nurse and she said, she thought it's ok not to call me back coz the company is going to call to say it's ok to bring a used one back. I told the nurse I had the question about a replacement and wanted to discuss with her first before I returned it back. Plus, it was common courtesy to just call me back after saying she will. In the end, I got one that is covered by my insurance by Dr. Lim's office, but it felt like it could have been handled way better. We changed doctors coz we moved but would probably have looked for another doctor if we stayed there longer. read more

We just moved in the area and decided take our child in to see Dr. Lim for the first time. When we met him, he seemed very friendly and patient with our child. He answered all of our questions and was not rushed at all, even though we were very concerned and had a million questions. The environment of the office as well as the receptionists are both friendly and comforting to my child. I would definitely return for future visits and recommend Dr. Lim to anyone. read more

Dr. Lim is a great doctor. He is very friendly, patient, and knowledgeable. The office is in a great location, lots of parking, and easy to get an appointment. Dr. Lim is easily reached during after hours and weekends. Dr. Lim does not simply prescribe antibiotics for everything like other doctors but takes the time to educate and talk to you. Highly recommended!!! read more

I just moved here from Texas and was very nervous about using a new pediatrician for my 3 small children. Dr. Lim's staff was able to fit all 3 of my kids in within the same week I called, and even followed up to make sure I knew what to bring and expect. Dr. Lim was very nice, and to the point which I like. My kids were very comfortable with him, and he put me at ease with the only concern I had. There was little to no wait time. His staff is the most friendly staff I have ever encountered at a doctors office. They were warm, friendly, efficient and helpful. What a relief to have found a pediatrician I feel comfortable with on the first try when relocating to somewhere I have no network of friends and family to rely on for recommendations. read more

Perry Lim was my kid's doctor for the past two years. It has gotten worse and worse. Every time I took my kid to him, and that's when my kid's sick as a dog, all he does is collect his co-pay and tell you there is no need for anything except liquids. Look, if I want to give my kid liquid, I know how to do that and I don't need to pay the co-pay and have him tell me that. Stay away from him. He's a quack. read more

Didn't get to this review until now. My son just passed his first year and I was looking at him devouring his dinner the other day which made me think about the bad experience I had with Dr. Lim. Dr. Lim was his pediatrician until shortly after he was born (we switched as soon as we realized that his bedside manner and care left much to be desired). While it has been about a year since my son's first "care" by Dr. Lim the bad experience still leaves a bad memory for me. It started with our interview with him to become the pediatrician. My wife showed up with a list of questions to ask the Dr. and had done her research about the level of service that is to be expected by the pediatrician. Dr. Lim appeared surprised and indifferent that she had questions and did not get into much detail about his ability as a pediatrician. His cold and awkward demeanor left my wife very uneasy, but unfortunately we only got to interview Dr. Lim before our little guy decided to come out early. My wife was unable to interview other pediatricians on her list and we had to go with Dr. Lim our of necessity. Jump to the delivery. My son was born with bad tongue-tie. Luckily I had a friend whose son was also born with tongue-tie and who had given me a heads-up about the potential for this in a newborn. Shortly after delivery we (the parents, nursing staff, and doula) immediately identified this to be a concern and likely cause for his difficulty feeding. We notified Dr. Lim who brushed it off as unlikely to cause his difficulties. It was not until after our persistent insistence that he come in to snip the frenum at the hospital. However, more than two days passed before he came in to perform it and not until we very vocally insisted that we could not wait and wanted the hospitalist to perform this very simple procedure. In the mean time our little one was visibly struggling to take his feedings and was failing his blood sugar threshold test most of the time. As a first time parent that is incredibly heartbreaking. When the hospital contacted him to notify of our demands he insisted that they not proceed until he came in. He finally showed up (in shorts and t-shirt) at the hospital and performed the procedure. No reassuring words were provided or any other attempts to create rapport with us. As soon as it was done, our baby started BFing much much better. It was immediately noticeable on the first feed. It was at that time we decided we could not stick with Dr. Lim. As a result of this ordeal, we had to have a doula help our son relearn how to properly breastfeed as he spend those critical first few days feeding the wrong way due the inability to use his tongue. It was not until weeks later with a lot of hard work from his mother that he was able to properly BF. Now I understand that others may feel Dr. Lim to be a pedo who works for them, but for my family we are never again taking any risks with a healthcare provider that we felt acted extremely indifferent towards our son's condition. You should ask yourself if you are picking a pediatrician...."should I risk it?" read more

Even though it was my son's first appointment with Dr. Perry Lim, I thought he was a great doctor already from my son's last pediatrician. Also his staff is amazing and they know what they are talking about as well with insurance. The medical assistant that had to give the shots to my son I think did a great job with him. :) He may have cried a lot, but that's ok haha. I will be staying with Dr. Perry Lim for now on until my son is older. Thanks Dr. Perry &staff! read more

In reply to your response of my honest review. You said Perry needs to spend time away from work but to schedule a vacation and not have someone from his office cover or notify us during our planned due date is unprofessional and inconsiderate(We Delivered exactly on our estimated due date). Well of course we wanted the circumcision to be done at the hospital but Perry never showed up or didn't have a backup doctor visit our newborn. My repeated efforts to ask our hospital given Pediatrician said they couldn't perform the circumcision and needed our Pediatrician (Perry Lim). He was not able to be contacted because he was vacation with his family? Unacceptable! I know most offices do not perform circumcisions. That is why I canceled with you guys when you said Perry would perform it at that office. I was not going to risk my sons genitals and life with a greedy and dishonest practice. Yes, most insurances do cover circumcisions, which is why my bullshit meter went off in my head when the receptionist said "No, your insurance doesn't cover the circumcision so it will cost $275" It is not the problem of my insurance billing comprehension. It is the matter of your office being greedy and dishonest. Stay away from this practice at all costs. They are liars and even worse try to place the blame on the patients. read more

I would not recommend this PD to any one who has a new born, for the following reason: 1. When my baby was 2 month old and need to get vaccine, Dr Perry Lim just told us, everyone takes this. When I asked what's the side affect and what would be the symptom if baby allergic, he just said " oh well, there's document you can read by yourself, just everyone takes this vaccine ." He was so impatient to us. Isn't it the PD 's responsibility to introduce the vaccine to parents ?!! 2. When I was in the delivery room in hospital, he came in the room without knock the door. I was speechless.... 3. My baby was about 1 month, and he told us don't let baby sleep from 5PM to 10PM, so baby could sleep at night for a longer time. That's totally bull shit. Baby needs that sleep at that time. Our baby was so tortured because we took his advise. And our baby will not sleep before 10PM, usually 11 PM, because she got used to late sleep. I hate this PD for this reason the most. 4. One of the nurse in this clinic is very unprofessional. She doesn't know how to hold the baby and when baby cries she will just ignore.... This lady's shoes are extremely dirty btw. If a lady usually ware very dirty shoes, will she be clean enough to hold your baby? Take weight or Height for your baby? read more

A good physician is when something happen, he knows what is the best to you. Dr. Lim is defiantly this kind of doctor. We have been vising Dr. Lim almost three years since my son was born. My son is a very strong boy, so just has his regular office visit with Dr. Lim, so we did not see Dr. Lim is the best physician, until my 5 month daughter got sick this time. It is very easy to get same day appointment is not the best part, the best part is whenever you need Dr. Lim he is always there for you. No matter I paged Dr. Lim on weekday or weekend, even midnight or early morning, he always return my call within 5 minutes, and give me very helpful suggestion regarding my daughter's situation. Also, Dr. Lim's staff are friendly too, they are very helpful and very patient with kids. read more

Dr. Perry Lim, has been my daughter's Doctor from past 2 years. It happened we accidentally and luckily choose him a day when my daughter had a dislocated arm and went to him. He is simply great, very patient. He clearly discusses and gets the doubts out of mind. read more

I had this great privilege of shadowing Dr.Lim at his clinic and it was truly an amazing experience. He is very knowledgeable and regularly reads journals and attends CME courses to stay up to date with the latest medical guidelines. Dr. Lim is a very friendly person and the children loves his presence. He spends significant amount of time during clinic visits, educating parents and answering their queries. He takes the time to return their calls and follow up on patients with concerning issues. Dr. Lim allocates few appointments in his schedule to accommodate 'sick-visit' patients. His patients can get same day appointment for 'sick-visits'. He takes a thorough history, does a complete physical examination and prescribes medications only if its truly necessary. Dr. Lim also offers free prenatal visits to parents-to-be before the arrival of their newborn in order to build a strong doctor-patient relationship. He also offers ear piercing in his office. The staffs in the office are very friendly and approachable. I would highly recommend Dr.Lim to be your child's pediatrician. read more

We liked Dr. Lim for his passive attitude, but when my daughter got sick, his passive attitude remained which back fired on us. We were left to think for ourselves and seek helped somewhere else. His willingness to help and serve were way under par. read more

Our family has been seeing Dr Lim for 8 years.. When I was in his office first time he didn't has so many patients. He spent almost 1 hour to check my baby and gave me some advice. Plus he got two great nurses you know you would trust. That's why I have stayed for so many years. But things changed... Now he has appointments every 10 min. He seems so rush he doesn't have time to listen at all. He made decision right after he saw the kids, all you have to do is following. No question please. His new nurse is busying with patients too. They have an information sheet you need to fill when you go to regular check up. When I took my kid for 6 year check, I felt the paperwork is so familiar, and after I double check, the form is for 4 year old in fact! And few days later, when I took my another kid for check up, the nurse came to check if she gave me the correct paperwork when I was filling it. I am lucky my kids are old enough they don't need any vaccine at this time, otherwise how can I trust her who knows what kind of vaccine she will give to my kids! Though I understand she has to handle too many patients so it's possible to make mistakes. Well I will move to other doctors. Good bye Dr Lim. read more

When I was pregnant almost 7 years ago, I looked all over the area, read the reviews, talked with friends and actually visited more than a handful of pediatricians. Dr. Lim has been the "chosen one" since my son's birth in 2006. - Dr. Lim cares about my son. We called him one weekend morning when my son had fever and he was in office within 15min to see us. - Dr. Lim and staff are very responsive. I would sometimes call in to let him know that I'm concerned about something and he would always call back within 15-30min. to take the time to discuss with me, many times result in not having to make an appointment to go in to see him. I called once about a bump on my son's chin. He called back within 15min. and ask about the symptoms and make suggestions. We followed the suggestions and watched the bump overnight when it disappeared. When he thinks it's necessary, he would suggest that I take my son in right away. Otherwise, he would give us the assurance that we can observe and call back. - I really like that Dr. Lim is very respectful of my opinions and wishes and would make professional suggestions and lay out the pros and cons of different solutions. He would explain to me about the different prescriptions and make suggestions. - Dr. Lim is fun and my son loves chatting with him. For some kids, going to see a doctor may be a scary thing but for my son, going to Dr. Lim's is a fun and learning experience. We have since moved to the peninsula and visiting Dr. Lim has become less convenient due to traffic time. But I'm not changing doctor - we love Dr. Lim and my son loves him. read more

Great friendly doctor! My two kids goes to Dr. Lim for years. The staff are always kind and friendly. I can get an appointment to see Dr. Lim on the same day. When it comes to our scheduled appointments, I don't have to wait. I recommend Dr. Lim to all my family and friends in the Bay Area. read more

Dr. Lim has been providing care for my two sons for over two decades. My oldest one is 21 years old now and the second one is 12 years old. We stay with Dr. Lim through all these years because we trust him with his expertise in the pediatric field. We are grateful for his recommendation for my young newborn son to seek help in the cardiology when he came to O'Connor visiting our newborn and took note of his abnormal heart condition. Our son went through a successful open heart surgery at three months old. Dr. Lim takes genuine interest in treating children. I remembered how concerned he was when he treated our son for dog's bite. There was a time he waited for us to arrive past his office hour due to traffic jam because he was concerned about our son's cellulitis condition on his leg. We really appreciate his service. With the third child recently being born, we are happy that Dr. Lim accepts to be her pediatrician for the next 18 years. read more

Dr. Perry is the Dr. for all my three children. He is always very patient and professional. He's the Dr. we can trust along the way (nearly 10 years). We felt so blessed to find him in the first place. Thank you, Dr. Lim. read more

My son has been seeing Dr. Lim since birth, he is now 19 months! I am expecting again, so my child will be seeing Dr. Lim as well. Dr. Lim is attentive and very responsive! Appointments are easy to make and wait time is minimal. He is available to answer questions via email which is great for a busy mom like me! Dr. Lim takes him time to evaluate my son and asks a lot of questions to determine right diagnosis. read more

Even one star is way too generous for this doctor! based on a referral from a friend, I picked perry lim as the pediatrician for my newborn in el Camino hospital (there is a specific list of pediatricians to chose from). This is why he does not deserve one star even: 1) he shows up 20 hours after the birth of the baby! My guess is- the fact that they can turn up within the first 24hrs lets home come when he pleases! 2) first thing he asks us- yourll live in San Mateo, my clinic is in milpitas, what is the plan/how is this going to work! Seriously??? Mind you, my newborn was at an intermediate risk for jaundice and also needed to be tested for sugar levels due to my gestational diabetes. But this is what he had to ask! Blown away. 3) he simply says "ok..so there's some tests to be done, let's see how it turns out" and he decides to leave! 4) we FIRED him and picked another amazing pediatrician who worked with us to reduce my baby's jaundice and diabetes risk and improve nutrition levels! This person does NOT deserve to take care of kids or anyone for that matter' read more

Doctor Lim has been my son's doctor since he was born 7 years ago. It is hard to find a good doctor and with the help of friends and family we chose him to be our pediatrician. He has rewarded our trust in him and his staff by always being available whenever needed. Being new parents, it helped calm our nerves when our son had fever or sicknesses. My son loves going to Doctor Lim because for him it is learning experience. Doctor Lim always takes the time to answer his questions about the medical tools and how he is going to use them. For us, he gladly took the time and gave his full attention towards answering all our questions. Boy, my wife had many. My wife is against giving a lot of medicines when a child is sick. So Dr. Lim gave us other options to use instead. I would highly recommend Dr. Lim if you are looking for a caring, responsive, and professional children's doctor. Michael R. read more

I really don't like the service they provide , I am the new patient and want to make an appointment for my son's immune vaccination. The lady said the next available time is on next Wednesday, I said I cannot make it every Wednesday and Monday . She said that's the only day available. I don't believe that is the only day To make an appointment. piss me off, so I decided to change to the other pediatric. The service is really BAD. read more

I needed to get a 2-step TB test done and went to Dr. Lim's clinic because it was near home. I was amazed by the professionalism and kindness of the entire staff! Dr. Lim is a very kind and knowledgeable physician; he was very thorough in explaining the process and details regarding the TB tests. Additionally, the medical assistants were very gentle and skilled in handling the immunizations. I would highly recommend Dr. Lim and his medical clinic! read more
