Dr. Kim grew up in Monterey, CA a place he wishes to retire in someday. Dr. Kims passion for dentistry stemmed from personal experiences that are deeply imprinted in his memory till this day. Growing up, Dr. Kim wasnt always privileged to receive timely and high-quality dental care, and he learned the importance of preventive dental care the hard way. His childhood photos, in which his face is severely swollen due to untreated tooth decay, reminded Dr. Kim of an experience that he wished was never repeated by anyone else. What started out as a simple wish to make dental care more readily available to everyone led Dr. Kim to his career as a dentist.
