The office staff was friendly and checked my insurance details before my arrival. The dentist listened my concerns and address all of them. Great experience
May 8, 2025Seyoung K.Verified patient
Great staff was super nice
May 2, 2025Nathan D.Verified patient
I absolutely hate going to the dentist and have a lot of anxiety and suspicion around false diagnosis, but he took the time to show me exactly where the problem was for a previous filling that needed to be fixed. The staff were friendly and communicative as well. Only giving 4 stars because they didn’t revolutionize the whole experience for me lol but also I’ve been to way worse. As far as dentists go they did a good job.
March 3, 2025Mallory H.Verified patient
The doctor was great. The receptionist, a young male guy with red hair and tattoos, was easily the best receptionist I’ve ever encountered. Friendly and informative, he made me feel comfortable about my experience.
January 28, 2025Initials hidden
I’ve had bad dental experiences in the past and was always scared to go in. This office is so friendly and welcoming — they truly take great care of you! They listen to your concerns and never pressure you into any unnecessary treatments. I finally feel comfortable going to the dentist again. Highly recommend!
December 16, 2024Kelly L.Verified patient
I was fortunate to come across Dr. Kim's profile in ZocDoc. His availability met my schedule for the week, and working with his office was a breeze to schedule appointments for the remainder of my treatment plan.
Avenue Smiles and being a patient of Dr. Kim have been some of my most memorable dental experiences. Not only is Dr. Kim an excellent communicator and extremely knowledgable, but the entire staff at Avenue Smiles that I interacted with were highly equipped and experienced and provided 5-star service.
As a new patient, I could schedule 3 appointments on the same day, and this was my only week off from work. They are open later on Thursdays for those who also work 9-5's. I appreciate the flexibility, receptiveness, communication, cleanliness, ease of service, professionalism, and overall location of this office and would highly recommend working with Dr. Kim and his team. I would highly recommend Dr. Kim to anyone looking for a new dental service provider. Cigna DPPO accepted.
August 7, 2024Cadence A.Verified patient
The staff, the Dr., everything was 10/10. Well minus the parking but that’s only since there was construction going. Highly recommend them!

Great service, very friendly staff
July 10, 2024Robert P.Verified patient
Very friendly and professional!
July 2, 2024Ember L.Verified patient
Very chill dentist! They play top 40 songs (e.g., "Story of Us" by Taylor Swift) quite loud and sometimes sing along with them! There was drone footage of beaches playing on monitors all over the office!
June 6, 2024Shelby T.Verified patient
Great staff, very professional.
April 25, 2024Christopher D.Verified patient
The actual visit was pretty run of the mill. They got me in quick, did a thorough inspection, provided a follow-up treatment plan (along with evidence, I've gotten scammed before by a different dentist). They were very thorough.
November 20, 2023Andrew M.Verified patient
Great listener and explainer

Wow! What a wonderful experience. Dr. Kim and his team are super. I was so nervous because I am behind schedule taking care of my dental needs. A 10/10 experience!
August 16, 2023Linda M.Verified patient
Highly recommended, especially if dentistry makes you nervous. Staff were calm, friendly and competent, and the overall experience was as positive a trip to the dentist one could want.
July 19, 2023Peter L.Verified patient
Great experience! I came in for a quick filling as a new patient and was taken care of right on the spot. All staff members were very friendly and helpful!
February 21, 2023Natasha T.Verified patient
The calmest I've ever been at a dentist. Dr Kim, TJ, and the front desk staff were all kind and reassuring. Smooth process, solution-focused, judgment free. I was very nervous having not been able to see a dentist in several years - totally exceeded my expectations. Great team.
February 9, 2023Katherine B.Verified patient
Honestly the best dentist I have been to. Friendly and communicative staff and a clean/welcoming environment. Would definitely recommend!
January 4, 2023Kanyon F.Verified patient
Clan modern office, super friendly staff.
The most gentile (yet thorough) cleaning I have ever had.
Dr. Kim was great asked a lot of questions explained everything and really took his time.
So far have only been for a cleaning and consultation but highly recommend.
October 5, 2022Ryan L.Verified patient
This is so far the best dental appointment experience I’ve had in my adult life. I would highly recommend Dr. Kim and their team.

August 8, 2022Stephen T.Verified patient
This was a great experience! Dr. Kim was helpful and informative and their associate TJ was kind and understanding. Glad to have them as our providers.
July 21, 2022Stephen T.Verified patient
I had a pain in my mouth the previous night which woke me up. I was thrilled that I could see the dentist the same day for an initial consult and cleaning. I had a follow-up the day after to fill a cavity. I was in and out in 20 min. Both visits were almost completely covered by insurance. Every one of the staff was friendly and professional, especially Nick and Dr Kim. Highly recommend!
