She was literally the best dentist you could ask for. My daughter loved her, she has a tv on the ceiling so the kids can watch their favorite shows all while being seen. She explains everything and was very patient, there was also no wait!

Dr. Im is a wonderful doctor. She made everything easy for my toddler as this was her first visit. Her office is very bright and airy. Very kid friendly as well as the staff. Would definitely go to her again.

It was a wonderful visit. We are new to the area and my boys are usually not so open to a new face. They loved Dr. Cherish and bragged about their visit all day! They are excited for their following 6month appointment. Thank you Dr. Cherish && staff for the great dental experience && for making my boys so comfortable.

Just moved back to Edgewater, NJ from Florida and my dentist recommended Dr Cherish for my son. Their office is bright and welcoming. It’s never an easy task to take my 3 yr old to see a dentist. Dr Cherish was very calm, understanding and easy to talk to.

No complaints-everything was great

We visited Dr. Cherish for the first time. She was really sweet and gentle with my 8 year old boy. We both had a very pleasant experience. I'd give it more than five stars if I could.
Nice experience! I thought my girl needed crowns on her baby teeth but Dr. Im advised to let it fall out naturally. Happy to find a dentist that looked out for the best interest of my child!
Thumbs up for sure. Looks like they will soon have this massive parking garage right in the back, will bring my other kids soon. Love the office, my son was for one happy after a dental visit. Dr. Cherish is very warm and patient.
As a professional in the medical field, I can undoubtedly say that there are some dentists and doctors that overtreat patients and unnecessarily send patients to the hospital. Dr. Cherish is definitely not that type of dentist. She treated my kid with their best interest in mind. Very pleased to discover an honest dentist with integrity. Hard to find.
We had a great experience! My daughter is usually afraid to go to the dentist, so we tried a pediatric dentist and Dr. Im was amazing! My daughter actually wants to come. Prizes and free stuff certainly helps!
Dr. Cherish Im was really wonderful. Wasn’t quite sure how my 2 year old son would react but Dr. Im took her time to help my son become comfortable. She was very forthcoming and transparent about everything. Will come back!
Dr. Cherish was great. My seven year old son who usually cries when seeing my general dentist loved Dr. Cherish. Definitely coming back.
Dr. Cherish was wonderful. Is it me or are all Canadians super nice!?! In any case, my daughter had a few cavities but Dr. Cherish took care of everything. Was very pleased.
