John Lim, MD

I have been a patient of Dr Lims for two pregnancies. One which ended in miscarriage, and my current pregnancy. Dr Lim is sincere, kind, accomodating, and professional. He is calm and explains everything. I trust his abilities. He includes you in everything and makes his patients feel very comfortable. If I could give 10 stars, I would.

Dr. Lim has taken great care of me. He was recommended as a great surgeon when I needed a 2^nd opinion on a gynecological issue during my pre-​marital check up. He helped me & my boyfriend (husband now) thru that tough time, preventing possible infertility. He delivered our 2 kids later, 4 yrs apart, both natural birth with episiotomy @ Little Co of Mary. I appreciate that he doesn’t just tell me about my health but he discusses it with me. I feel respected cause he never uses words too big (or long), yet he knows I don’t need overly-​simplified version. I’ll recommend him to anyone who needs a skilled & experienced surgeon; or simply need a doctor who remembers his patients & will spend time discussing your healthcare with you.

Here we are 8 years later… I just came back from Cedar Sinai Medical Center and got an anorectal manometry. The fecal incontinence got worth over time. I underwent a colposcopy first and everything was OK.
The anorectal manometry results are in: I lost 30% of my anal sphincter after dr. John Lim poorly performed an unnecessary episiotomy. The area of the anus right under the vagina is dead (big scare).
He never acknowledge anything or even discussed it. When I told him I was in pain, he said it would go away with time and prescribed Lidocaine cream for my pelvic floor. Was it a way to avoid being sued? Because now it’s too late. Women out there, we only have 2 years after the incident to take action!
There is pretty much nothing to do now, other than exercising the muscle to get stronger and prevent the leakage. I am SO SO mad. BEWARE!

I was pleased to see Dr. Lim. My friend recommended me to see Dr. Lim when I was looking for a new OBGYN doctor. Dr. Lim is quiet and not pushy at all. He really pays attentions to his patients. He recognizes the cultures and customs other than his own. I really like how considerate he is!
