Not a good experience on my first visit.This rating does not apply to the dentist as I did not proceed with my first appointment. They had my insurance info over a month prior to visit but I was never told that it's not accepted till I got there. After filling 8 forms in cold hallway, office staffer informed me of insurance situation. I had to cancel and leave. It was a complete waste of time!

If I could leave LESS than one star I definitely would! I am a Senior Citizen who is on a fixed income, that needs to be said before i continue. I could not afford an expensive Dental plan, therefore i choose to enroll into a Dental Savings Plan, that being said i went to see Dr. Kim who's receptionist Paula assured me the Dr accepted. After initial Xrays, which i paid Full price for, i was told by Paula, not once, not twice BUT.... THREE times that MY cost for the rest of my treatment would be 641.00, which is Not a small amount but i saved and when i went into the office today, Paula told me that MY cost would be almost 1300.00!!! And ALL i recived from her was....Im Sorry, I made a mistake... Now i am stuck with mouth and tooth pain, and NOT even a call from Dr. Kim!

If I could leave 0 stars I absolutely would. My concerns were never properly managed. I was treated condescendingly every time I went in. Every dental procedure done here has needed to be redone elsewhere and has been the source of astronomical pain.

Excellent service, super friendly staff, knowledgeable, efficient and no surprises with them, they are very gentle and empathetic towards patients that may require more attention or are very sensitive.Calm atmosphere and Dr. Kim is amazing! I highly recommend this Dental Office as we have been to multiple Dentists trying to find the right fit for my daughter and finally found this one! My daughter does not dread going to them and that is HUGE, because now she is getting the dental care she has needed for so long. So pleased with their consistency, patience, and overall warm and friendly environment :-)

Dr Kim is a good dentist and I trust her with my teeth. I take my kids there, too, and she is very kind to them. My son is very gaggy and she caught his vomit no problem, I was pretty impressed. Her staff is good with clear communication and cost expectations, they work to prevent surprises which I appreciate. I've gone here since she started her practice and highly recommend her.
