의사 소개
토머스 김 박사, 미국
토머스 김 박사는 미국 전문의 인증을 받은 생식내분비학 전문의이자 고난도 임상배아학 검사실 책임자이며, 공인 의학기술사입니다.
김 박사는 처음에는 내과의가 되려 했으나, 불임을 겪으며 진로가 바뀌었습니다. 두 해 동안 치료를 받은 후 김 박사와 아내는 부모가 되겠다는 목표를 이뤘습니다.
그는 “생식의학과 관련 기술에 관심을 갖게 한, 많은 깨달음을 준 경험이었습니다. 그래서 진로를 바꿔 생식내분비학 전문의가 되기로 했습니다”라고 말합니다.
김 박사는 메릴랜드주 베세스다의 미국 국립보건원에서 펠로십 수련을 마친 뒤 서해안 최초의 군 IVF 프로그램을 시작했습니다. 1998년 출범 이후 이 프로그램은 수천 명의 현역 군인이 부모가 되는 여정을 밟도록 도왔습니다. 2001년 해군에서 명예 전역한 뒤, 김 박사는 CHA Medical Group과 함께 로스앤젤레스에 IVF 클리닉을 설립하고 여성의 가임력 보존 방법으로서 난자 동결에 관한 관심을 이어갔습니다. 그와 동료들은 당시에는 실험적 방법으로 여겨졌던 난자 동결에 관한 획기적인 논문을 발표했습니다.
인간 난자의 혁신적인 유리화 방법에 관한 그의 연구는 전국적인 관심을 받았으며 The Wall Street Journal, Time, People Magazine, The Boston Globe를 비롯한 주요 언론에 소개되었습니다. 현재 유리화를 이용한 난자 동결보존은 특히 새로 암 진단을 받은 환자에게 널리 인정된 치료 선택지입니다.
김 박사는 현대의 난임 치료가 십 년 전과 매우 다르다고 생각합니다.
김 박사는 “이 분야는 첨단 기술과 최전선의 진료가 만나는 곳입니다. 특히 분자유전체학을 포함한 검사실 기술이 빠르게 발전하는 만큼, 임상의는 최신 정보를 갖추고 환자가 복잡한 의학 정보를 이해하도록 도와야 합니다”라고 말합니다.
그는 “환자이자 임상의로서의 경험이 환자와 더 효과적으로 소통하는 데 도움이 된다고 믿습니다. 가족을 이루는 여정에 함께할 수 있어 헌신과 영광을 느낍니다”라고 덧붙입니다.

Dr. Landay and the RMA staff were a pleasure to work with during my egg retrieval and freezing. From logistics and patient care to answering every question, they were attentive and flexible, making an otherwise daunting process simple and convenient. Thank you to the RMA team for all your hard work💞

Thanks to Dr. Kim's guidance and the staff's warm support, my husband and I were able to complete our infertility journey with hope and confidence. Our experience at RMA was wonderful and will always remain a meaningful and treasured part of our lives.

This place is absolutely the worst. I made an appointment and called the day before to confirm it, then received a call later that day saying they had to cancel at the last minute, even though I had booked a month in advance. This was only the first appointment. I cannot imagine how disorganized they are, especially given how much I would be paying for these services.

I tried to schedule an initial appointment but had to cancel because of illness. Even though I called to cancel, I was still charged a $50 cancellation fee. I have repeatedly tried to contact billing but cannot reach anyone or get a return call. I am leaving this review for others seeking fertility treatment. Infertility is difficult enough, but dealing with a clinic that lacks understanding and responsiveness makes the process even more stressful. Patients seeking fertility treatment already face significant emotional and financial burdens. Being charged despite giving appropriate notice, with no way to resolve the issue, feels unfair. A clinic that truly cares about patients should prioritize clear communication and compassion, not just policies that add to patients' stress.

An unexpected bill suddenly appeared on my account without warning, and they did not correct it for a year. Ridiculous.

They only want to take your money!! I came here and was immediately diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) without any hormone laboratory tests or health screening. When I heard this sudden diagnosis, Dr. Ghazal exclaimed that I was ‘lucky’ and had me sit down with her financial coordinator to discuss how I planned to pay tens of thousands of dollars for IUI and IVF treatments. The bloodwork she ordered included only a CBC and T4. There was no day-21 testing, no testosterone test, and no other testing related to my hormonal balance. I waited for a second opinion from an OB-GYN and was told that I definitely did not have PCOS and was actually very healthy. I worried about my fertility for months for no reason, and I am convinced this organization exploits perfectly healthy women for financial gain.

Dr. Siedhoff and his team deserve every compliment. He listened carefully, explained everything clearly, and reassured me at my most frightened. His team showed empathy and patience, making me feel truly understood and accepted. I highly recommend him.

I am incredibly grateful for RMA's attentive care and professionalism. From check-in and scheduling through treatment, the entire team was proactive, responsive, and genuinely kind, making a potentially overwhelming process feel easy to navigate.
My nurses stayed in contact, returned calls promptly, and answered my questions by phone or through the app. I always felt supported and well informed.
Dr. Landay and her team were outstanding, and I sincerely appreciate their guidance through the egg-freezing process.

Unfortunately, my experience at RMA SoCal began very poorly. I was directed to administrative manager Ashley with questions about my informed consent form. She quickly became impatient, spoke condescendingly, and repeatedly interrupted me. When I asked her to let me finish, she said “no” and stated that she had other patients to attend to. She then told me that because I would not sign before my questions were answered, my appointment would be canceled and their legal team would contact me.
This felt like a missed opportunity to establish trust at the beginning of care. The consent form explicitly encourages patients to ask questions, yet mine were dismissed arrogantly and rudely. Being pressured to sign without a full discussion, followed by hostility when I raised questions, made me deeply uncomfortable and unheard.
Even if their legal team eventually contacts me, this experience alone has made me question whether the clinic truly respects patient concerns. I am sharing this so others understand how consent questions may be handled before deciding to proceed.

After speaking with Ashley and Dr. Kim, I changed my rating from one star to four. They sincerely addressed my concerns and handled the matter appropriately. Dr. Kim's follow-up care matched the excellent care I received during my first egg-freezing cycle, and I would readily recommend him as a provider.
Although I may never know what caused the front desk's behavior a few days earlier, I hope the issue is taken seriously and prevented from happening again.
—
I previously froze my eggs at RMA SoCal and had a good experience with Dr. Landay. I am now preparing for fertilization and tried to find out when I could be scheduled because my insurance is about to expire. Since Dr. Landay was fully booked, I scheduled a telehealth consultation with Dr. Kim. He also told me that because time was limited, I might need another option if no opening became available, so the team would follow up in advance.
When I received no follow-up, I called on the day of my appointment with Dr. Kim and was told there was no record of it. Not only had no one followed up, they had lost my appointment—something I had never experienced at any clinic. It was not entered on the wrong date; there was simply no record at all.
The front desk said she would contact Dr. Kim to see whether he could still see me at the scheduled time, since his calendar seemed to have an opening, and would call right back. Twenty minutes after the appointment time, I still had no update. I called several more times and reached voicemail. Suspecting they were ignoring my number, I called from another one—and they answered. As soon as I identified myself, she said she had another call, asked me to hold, then after 7 minutes sent me to voicemail. I tried again; someone briefly answered amid rustling sounds, then transferred me to voicemail. They clearly did not want to speak with me. I hope they merely mishandled my appointment.
This was a frightening experience with a clinic storing my frozen eggs. I have never encountered such unprofessional conduct at any medical facility. If Dr. Kim or Dr. Landay sees this, please call me. I am clearly getting nowhere with the front desk.

I know this review is long overdue, but I still want to express my gratitude to RMA Southern California. In June 2023, after struggling with unexplained infertility, we began our journey at RMA. Under the attentive care of Dr. Kim and nurse Katia, we started IVF in January 2024.
Their compassion, clear explanations, and support made this emotional journey manageable and even hopeful. They always answered my questions patiently and made me feel genuinely cared for at every step.
We have now welcomed our daughter, and I truly could not have reached this point without them. I am deeply grateful to the entire team and recommend them to anyone facing fertility challenges.

I just completed an egg-retrieval cycle with Dr. Randi at RMA Los Angeles. I was very satisfied with the entire process. From the initial consultation, Dr. Randi spent at least 45 minutes, possibly longer, explaining female fertility, relevant statistics, and the egg-freezing process. I ultimately decided to proceed, and I am very glad I did. RMA made the process easy, and I felt I received excellent care. After closely following all the detailed instructions, my retrieval cycle was very successful. Dr. Randi was highly skilled, and my phlebotomist Jacqueline was equally outstanding. I saw her at every appointment. She was very professional and always made me feel comfortable and well cared for. She added a human touch to an intimidating and complicated process. My nurse on retrieval day was Elizabeth, who was also wonderful and made me feel very relaxed. I highly recommend this clinic to anyone interested in learning about egg freezing.

Do not go to this clinic. Billing is a nightmare, and communication is terrible. This is the worst place for IVF treatment. They only want to squeeze every last cent out of you while providing abysmal service. Our problems started on day one. Our first in-person appointment was suddenly changed to telehealth because the doctor supposedly had an emergency to handle. However, when we logged in, the doctor was clearly sitting in the office. Meanwhile, the clinic manager, Ashley, aggressively demanded payment before the telehealth consultation began.
Their inefficiency is shocking. It took the doctor a full four weeks to review the medical records we uploaded on the first day. Communication between the clinical and billing departments was severely disjointed; billing had no idea when our procedure would begin, which delayed our prior authorization. I spent two full weeks calling and emailing them. They claimed a system malfunction had prevented notifications from being sent and that my message had been ‘missed,’ even though they had clearly seen my earlier emails.
Even worse, our insurance company contacted RMA five times to request medical records, but Ashley completely ignored them. I believe this clinic violated California medical billing law. They force you to pay the full amount upfront and then hold your money until the insurance company finally pays. Save yourself the unnecessary trouble and go elsewhere.

Their accounting and administrative department is absolutely terrible. To avoid trouble, please look elsewhere. We called multiple times to confirm whether they accept our insurance. They said they couldn't verify my husband's information at the moment, yet tried to get us to go first, promising to provide detailed receipts—it felt like a scam. When I called to cancel the appointment, they still charged me a cancellation fee.

This clinic is an absolute scam. I called four times to ask whether my wife’s and my insurance could be used at this clinic. They kept not telling me, and only informed me the day before the appointment that I had to fill out a consent form first before they could confirm. After I filled it out, they still said they didn’t know if my insurance was covered by them, telling me to come in first without any confirmation. So we wanted to cancel the appointment, and then they charged us a cancellation fee.

Every fertility journey is clearly unique and personal, and I wish everyone reading this the best of luck. I want to share that we had an absolutely amazing experience with Dr. Kim and the RMA staff. Dr. Kim explained our situation in great detail and developed an excellent plan. His love of knowledge truly showed, and by the end of our first egg retrieval, I could not believe how much I had learned. The office and staff were extremely helpful. They made the retrieval process as easy as possible for my wife, and she felt very comfortable before, during, and after the procedure. She was likewise well cared for during implantation and subsequent monitoring. Overall, we highly recommend RMA LA because of Dr. Kim and his outstanding team, as well as all the incredible work performed by the embryologists in the laboratory.
Overall, we will remember:
The amazing work of the doctor and embryologists
No waiting for appointments
Excellent communication with nurse Tori,
Convenient coordination with insurance (Aetna)
Extremely convenient retrieval and transfer without discomfort
Ultrasounds without discomfort
Clear instructions

I worked with Dr. Thomas Kim earlier this year and had the best experience. At our first meeting, he spent about 30 minutes explaining the fertility process and answering my questions. He was patient, interested in my fertility journey, shared extensive knowledge, and set realistic expectations.
What I appreciated most was that he heard my questions and concerns. He was not dismissive; he investigated my concerns and followed up appropriately. This built trust and made me feel that he was invested in my fertility journey. Thank you, Dr. Kim!
