October 16, 2025Linda K.Verified patient
This was only my first visit; my dental insurance cancelled my former dentist for coverage after many years, so I was forced to find a new dentist. My first impression of the office, cleanliness, staff and professionalism was beyond my expectations. All up to date equipment (if that is how to describe it). Dr. Lim was thorough and direct. I am so happy I found his office and him

September 13, 2023Jazmine T.Verified patient
I would definitely recommend a friend to Dr. Lim's practice. His staff is friendly and very efficient. Dr. Lim always seems happy to see me as his patient and clearly explains-and shows, when possible-what my dental issue is. He is clear in his explanations and in what his plan is going forward.
March 21, 2023Cheryl B.Verified patient
Truly, an awesome experience from the mouth of someone who's not in favor to the dentist office. From the minute I entered to the last second I left, every steps and procedures were streamlined. Not a minute wasted from those doctor-is-busy-seeing-another-patient act. Finally, an enjoyable visit. An appointment with the doctor granted full attention to Dr. Lim. Every member of the team was friendly and professional. Thanks to all for being a good listener and great explainer without showing off any jargons. Felt well taken care of. Looking forward to the next visit.

Dr. Lim was so kind and informative. It was my first time to the dentists after a few years. I was very nervous. But he was very nice and made me feel calm.

I had a very nice experience. My only complaint is that even though I took the time to fill out the pr3-visit documents online, they still made me fill them out by hand once I got to the office.

Awesome !!!
Friendly stuff, free pain, clean!

Great experience all around. Checkin was easy. He saw me within 10 minutes of my appointment time, which for me is spot on. I had a loose filling. He replaced it in less than half an hour. Pay,Eng was quick and prices reasonable (with insurance). He has a great manner, carefully explaining what was happening. His staff is also great,

Dr. Lim and the staff at Glenlake Dental are friendly and welcoming. Having a history of dental complications makes me nervous when going to a new Dr. and I'm happy to say that the nerves are gone. I highly recommend making an appointment and giving Glenlake Dental a try.
June 28, 2017Magda H.Verified patient
Dr. Lim is friendly and thorough. He is great at explaining problems and necessary procedures. The staff is very nice. They did not accept my insurance but they informed me of that ahead of time and worked with me to make payments almost painless for the first visit. I highly recommend this dental office!
April 5, 2016Aaron V.Verified patient
Everyone at the practice was very friendly and professional. This first visit was very thorough. The cleaning was well done.
