Of all the dental providers I've seen in my pretty long lifetime so far, Dr. Kim is one of the very best dental providers that I've ever experienced. His combination of professionalism, skill and thoughtful customer care is exceptional.

Very good experience. The office called to get me in earlier than originally scheduled. The doctor and his assistant were great to work with.


February 2025

It was the quickest but most painful teeth cleaning I've ever had. It was good that it was quick but it was a little painful like I said. Maybe that's his method, just leaving my feedback. Thank you.
