Reviews of Richard K. Kim, M.D. - McLean Psychiatric Services (Psychiatrist)

Very surprised to see all of these low ratings for Dr. Kim. He is a great psychiatrist and has always been caring and understanding. I respect his professional opinion, as he has received more than sufficient medical training. As patients and families, we must remember that we are not the clinicians. Doctors can only treat according to the information we provide them, so it must be truthful and specific. All details such as side effects must be reported so the doctor can provide the best possible treatment. With that being said, I highly recommend Dr. Kim!

Dr Richard Kim was hired by my husband and I to get our perfectly healthy daughter off Wellbutrin and a Benzodiazepine her regular doctor wrongly prescribed her for. Dr Kim Never told us that he would treat her On the drugs, before beginning to take her off the drugs she never should have been put on. Now our daughter is a Stranger. Amnesia from the 2 drugs Dr Kim put her on, along with the initial 2 psych drugs have changed her into nearly the opposite of what she had been for 32 years. We have lost our daughter to psych drugs and Dr Kim lied to us when he initially told us he Would taper her off the drugs she was wrongly prescribed by Dr Nakoba, her regular physician. Psychiatric drugs destroy the lives, relationships, and marriages of All Who Take Them!

I recently married my husband and so I wanted to speak to Dr. Kim about his treatment. I came in and he asked me why I decided to come in and I said well my husband is fine and I haven't noticed anything alarming. We spoke and we would like to start tapering off because we have a baby on the way. He said he does not believe in tapering off drugs and so he would recommend another Dr, I found that very interesting since his patient wanted to be off the drugs. So I said fine he said he would write one more prescription for three months so we had time to find a new doctor. My husband went into CVS a week later and he never filled the prescription. He also never sent my husband referrals. Once I realized my husband was acting very weird because he had been going through withdrawal symptoms he finally told me it was because the doctor never gave him his refill. I found that to be so disturbing that I left him a voicemail that my husband paid his fee and so was untilled to the prescription. I also said that his actions were very unprofessional. He called my husband the next morning and said he would fill the prescription for a month if he came back. STAY AWAY FROM THIS PERSON pure EVIL!! I work for the federal government and will take every step necessary to report his actions. If you are considering this doctor stay far away.

I was looking for a psychiatrist and a psychologist when I met Dr Kim, he prescribed me some medication that actually made me feel worst, but the problem was that he offered therapy as part of his practice, I'm sure that he have no idea of what's therapy means, he had no plan for me and most sessions where about How I felt about him, as he wasn't related to my issues I found pointless to get asked continuously "How do you feel towards me?", In addition he made videos of each session which was quite uncomfortable, I attended several sessions to give it a chance to see where we were heading and I can tell that he gave me absolutely no help to handle my anxiety and life crisis. Stay away from Dr Kim

My wife was suffering from postpartum depression and panic attacks after our first child was born. We came to Dr. Kim and we found him to be very kind and knowledgeable. She is doing so much better with his help. We are so glad we found him.

I've been seeing Dr. Kim for OCD related issues for about half a year now and my experiences have been very positive! He's a very laid back guy and most sessions feel like catching up with a casual friend as much as a psychiatrist. He seems to prefer a mixed approach of medication and therapy based on my experience.
