July 30, 2018Katherine E.Verified patient
Dr. Kim was very through on my case and explained how cavities form and how they monitor it. The office in general is very nice and clean. My hygienist listened to my sensitivities and was careful to clean those areas.

Dr. Kim is truly amazing!
I had Invisalign with her and it worked so well.
It gives me a lot of confidence.
Also, She can speak English and Korean fluently which makes me feel much comfortable.
I would definitely recommend her!
April 24, 2018Heeseung K.Verified patient
Nice office, friendly professional staff, and a very pleasant dental visit all around. Dr. Kim provided a lot of education about how to take better care of my teeth which I really appreciated. Will be recommending her and Leaf Dental to my whole family!
February 15, 2018Amy T.Verified patient
Dr. Kim and the entire Leaf Dental staff are incredible! The office staff are extremely friendly and knowledgable, the hygienists are extremely friendly and thorough, and Dr. Kim is brilliant. She was able to identify an issue I suspected I'd had for some time, but no other dentist had caught. Not only did she bring this to my attention without my even having mentioned it, but she took the time to go over the signs she saw in detail to make sure I understood her diagnosis. I'd highly recommend this practice.
December 21, 2017Michael M.Verified patient
Great!
November 30, 2017Mariusz G.Verified patient
I explained to Dara why I stopped seeing my last dentist and I could tell she took my feedback to heart and made sure I was comfortable with each part of my cleaning. The thing I appreciated most was her extra effort to let me know what was happening or up next, and thorough (but not condescending) education on how to keep my gums healthy.

I get nervous at the dentist, and not only was Dr. Kim very calming in demeanor, but her detailed and knowledgeable sharing of every step of the process was very helpful. I have to return for another appointment, and I am much less intimidated knowing that I will be in such good hands!
October 19, 2017Jillian B.Verified patient
What a great visit! The entire staff at Leaf Dental was warm and welcoming, and Dr. Kim was excellent. She did an amazing job getting bad stains off my teeth with no pain at all. No more dreading a visit to the dentist. She was also very thorough in explaining a future treatment plan.
More than 1 year agoInitials hidden
Very thorough and explained every little detail that we saw in my X-rays. I learned quite a bit. Very kind and understanding about the anxiety one can have visiting the dentist. She and the rest of the staff answered all my questions. They took their time and I never felt rushed. Kudos to the hygienist that cleaned my teeth and dealt with my occasional squirming or mouth getting lazy. They're clean and pretty now! Definitely going back for all my dental care needs.
September 28, 2017Deanna I.Verified patient
Dr. Kim, has a very warm disposition. She is also very thorough with her process which I really appreciate. I didn't feel rushed during our conversation before and after my procedure as I usually felt with previous experiences. She took her time to explain and answer questions I had. She's fantastic!
I also want to give a shout out to her assistant Ana who administered the best x-ray ever and made sure I was comfortable. Sometimes it's the little things like having light conversation with a patient that makes a significant difference. Thank you!
August 10, 2017Lanese W.Verified patient
By far the best experience I've had at the dentist! Dr. Kim is a perfectionist! She was thorough with my appointment and patient with all of my questions. She is very knowledgeable and professional. The office is clean and modern, the technology is up to date and everyone is extremely friendly and helpful. I am very impressed! Thank you Dr. Kim!
August 12, 2017Kelly O.Verified patient
This was my first time visiting this office and doctor. Dr.Kim and all of the staff that saw me were very kind and helpful. I could not recommend this office more. She was very knowledgeable and patient when explaining things to me and nothing felt rushed. I As with many people, I've never been much of a fan of dentist visits, but this was by far the best and most relaxing experience I've had and the most comfortable I've felt with a dentist.The dental assistant was very friendly and the office manager at the front desk was very helpful in explaining the breakdown of pricing for potential treatments. As an added perk, they have TVs in each room so you can pick which program to zone out to as they scrape away at your teeth.
More than 1 year agoCristina W.Verified patient
Dr. Kim was so professional and friendly. She thoroughly went through my results with me and welcomed any questions I had. Her enthusiasm for her field makes me want to go to the dentist! I highly recommend Leaf Dental!
More than 1 year agoPei Ling C.Verified patient
I often get nervous with dental appointments and procedures, but Dr. Kim made me feel at ease and always explained what she was doing and why. Definitely coming back.
May 3, 2017Jessica C.Verified patient
I am a physician with my own practice so my standards are high!
I am also not a fan of going to the dentist. Dr. Kim was great. Her assistant was also great. Beautiful, clean office. Friendly, professional front desk staff.
I am going to recommend Leaf Dental and Leaf Medical to my own patients and friends.
April 20, 2017Karen G.Verified patient
Dr. Kim and staff were very professional and knowledgeable about oral health. They were super helpful in cleaning my teeth and then giving me a overview of the work that had been done. She further reviewed what I can do to improve my brushing and flossing habits. I would highly recommend.
April 16, 2017Brian L.Verified patient
I came in for a cleaning and was seen my Dr. Kim right away. She has excellent bedside manner and acted very professionally. Dr. Kim took the time to explain everything thoroughly even though I came in for a simple checkup. The entire staff was incredibly nice and helpful. I would highly recommend Dr. Kim and Leaf Dental, and would absolutely come back again!
March 18, 2017Li-yang L.Verified patient

I have found my dentist! After searching for about 2 years, I have finally decided that I will only go to leaf dental from now on. Not only is the staff here beyond professional, but they make sure you are comfortable and taken care of from the beginning to the end of your appointment. Highly recommended!

This was my first ever dentist appointment and Dr Kim was very patient and explained the whole process very cleary. She took me through all the X-rays and Pictures of each and every tooth of mine one by one and explained each and every one of them.
