“Went in for a pretty standard dental cleaning and everything went smoothly. Dr. Kim was pleasant and I will be back.”
Andrew D.August 24, 2025
“I have had great experiences with Dr. Kim. During one visit, she reapplied a crown that had popped off, and she explained what she was doing throughout the procedure and ensured that I was comfortable. Her staff has always been very friendly, and there's virtually no wait time. ”

Couldn't see the doctor I reserved. Also they listed wrong address so I had to run to the other location.

I don’t usually leave reviews, even when I have a negative experience, but I felt it was important to share my feedback in this case.The front desk staff are consistently unprofessional, and interactions often feel as though I’m pleading for basic service.
The overall level of professionalism at this office is lacking. With the exception of Dr. Webber, I found that many of the dentists and assistants do not demonstrate the knowledge or skill I would expect from a dental practice. On top of that, I was abruptly informed during a visit that my appointment had been moved to another location — not far, but still inconvenient and handled poorly.
If you are looking to save your time and money, I would strongly recommend choosing a different clinic. To share another example: a friend’s daughter experienced pain for several days after a filling here and ultimately had to return to have the work corrected. Unfortunately, this was not an isolated incident.

The service at this place was extremely bad. I would never return. And I will be disputing the service with my insurance provider. It was a complete waste of my Saturday. The office manger once I hit off the elevator wasn’t welcoming at all. Sha told me the person I booked was very busy and almost sent me to another location. The entire visit was just very weird.

I had a great dental visit with Dr. Kim. I've always been a bit anxious about my dental
appointments since I'm prone to getting cavities and didn't have a great experience with
dentists growing up. But Dr. Kim is very gentle and took the time to explain the procedure
to me and this helped me relax. The fillings were done very quickly and I didn't feel any pain.
Highly recommend her for anyone who gets would normally get stressed at the dentist's.

I recently had veneers placed by Dr. Kim and I couldn’t be more impressed. Before starting, Dr. Kim took the time to thoroughly discuss all
my treatment options, making sure I understood the process and felt comfortable with my decision. The procedure itself went smoothly,
and the results are amazing! My new veneers look natural and have completely transformed my smile. I’m so grateful for Dr. Kim’s
expertise and attention to detail. Highly recommend!
