Very professional and thorough work. Doctor Kim and staff spent time and explained what was being done. The follow-up on the day after the prodecure is much appreciated.

Great service, appreciate the experience level of dentistry and was given the ultimate care that you could possibly receive when you have a root canal that was "screaming" with pain. From the ease of enduring numbing medication to the complex procedure, I felt very comfortable in the hands of the Dentist. Highly recommend if you want less anxiety or fear, and you want the job done right! Thank you!

Dr Kim is an excellent endodontist! I got 3 root canals from him, and he is my go to endodontist. One of them was a very challenging C shape case. We found out that same tooth had a small crack later on, so I was able to get referred to a periodontist to get further treatment. He is extremely attentive to details. He makes sure his work is to the highest standard. One time I talked to my another endodontist friend about my C shaped root canal. After looking at the images, he commented that no one could have done any better job than Dr Kim's work. I definitely recommend him!

I was referred to Dr. Kim by my general dentist to perform a root canal on a very damaged molar. Dr. Kim and his staff had no problem making sure I was comfortable and informed throughout the whole procedure. Pain free with precise work. Thank you North San Diego Endodontics!

If you find yourself in need of a root canal specialist, Dr. Kim is your best bet. My father has seen a few other specialist before him, and he's SO impressed by the work that Dr. Kim has done for him. Talk about a man crush! My son also had an unfortunate accident that required his services, it was such a comfort & relief to know he was in such great care for the best possible outcome. He's a good man & great Endodontist.
