Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep the reviews trustworthy, honest & fair.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

I had my teeth cleaned, which they charged me $135.00 for. The hygienist said that she wanted Dr. Kim to come in and look at a tooth. She came in, looked, and said she wants to replace the filling for $528.00. I was then charged an additional $90.00 for a “limited consult” that lasted about 60 seconds. If the hygienist would have told me that I would be charged $90.00 for the dentist to enter the room, I would have said “no”. $135.00 is already too much to pay for a cleaning. I feel extremely ripped off and will be looking for a different dentist.

Dr. Kim is an amazing prosthodontist. She is smart, caring, and really takes her time to think through a complicated problem. For years I had been biting on my two front teeth, which had worn down dangerously thin. After exploring different options, she put crowns on them and adjusted my bite so that I no longer hit them. The crowns turned out beautifully and I am thrilled to finally be biting on my molars after years of no contact. I HIGHLY recommend her. Thank you, Dr. Kim!!

Dr Kim is an extremely competent prothodontist. She is caring , patient and explains everything very well. Her work is meticulous and extremely well done. I thoroughly recommend her to anyone with problems needing quite difficult treatment. I broke a front tooth and she did a wonderful job making me a bridge and improving my underbite , giving me a lovely new smile.

I've been a patient of Dr. Kim's for 10 years after being referred to her by a specialist. I trust her implicitly and am confident in her care. She is professional, kind, knowledgeable, and completely patient-centered. The entire staff does everything possible to assist patients. I do not make recommendations lightly but have no reservations in recommending Dr. Kim.

My father recommended I see Dr Kim to create a new dental prosthetic for me after my implants failed. I am so glad he did, her work is meticulous and she cares! Her staff is friendly and I am grateful!
