The first visit that my mom had the dr was polite, his receptionist not very. On the second visit (she went to him for a second opinion) he was extremely rude to my sister, who was there to translate for my mom. He made them feel extremely uncomfortable! My sister told him that he shouldn’t speak to his patients the way that he was speaking to them. He told them in a VERY RUDE way, that they were not his patients and that they were there for a second opinion. My sister told him that he shouldn’t treat people that way regardless if they were his patients or not. My mom & sister got up and left that place. I can only imagine how they would have treated my mom if she went alone. Funny thing is that he had no patients & so that tells you why people don’t go to him. Dr. Kim & staff need to do better & treat everyone with respect. Just because you are a Dr, it does not give you a reason to treat people with out respect! Maybe go back to school and take some social classes so that you guys can learn how to treat people! Anyway, we are surprised he treated them this way while listening to Christian music! I wish I can give them – stars!

Do not go here. I went based off the good reviews and regret it. Long story short he gave me 4 fillings and I have already had 3 of them needing to be replaced 2 years later by a different dentist. There was a crack in one on the xray.
1. When making appt, I told them I had delta dental. They don’t have a contract with delta dental and I has to write post dated checks until the insurance mailed me the check and I would give it to him. Not sure if that’s legal but whatever.
#2. He was doing my fillings and waited until he was already filling them and tells me he only uses the metal filling not the white. Now I have ugly silver in my teeth. (Which all needed to be replaced so I guess it worked out in the long run).
#3. I brought my Michael Kors tote that was maybe $100 and he made a comment about how much I spend on purses. Just super unprofessional and odd.

Great dental office. Kind, attentive, and knowledgeable staff. Dr. Kim takes his time to explain procedures and point out concerns on your x-rays. I have had cleanings, fillings, and a root canal + crown performed at this office, and I am happy with the results. I also experienced anxiety with dentists in the past and shame around my teeth, and the staff listened and made me feel heard and accepted. I will continue to return for my dental needs.
