Dr. Steve Kim believes in the importance of smiles. Smiles are initially what drew him to pursue a career in dentistry. Something as simple as a smile can drastically affect one's confidence and mood for the day -- and our oral health often directly affects our smile. Dr. Kim is pretty easy to smile himself and will do whatever he can to help his patient's do the same.
Dr. Steve Kim completed his undergraduate education in Molecular and Cellular Biology at UC Berkeley and is a graduate of the UCLA School of Dentistry, where he also spent 3 years actively researching the molecular and cellular mechanisms of cancer cell growth and development, particularly as it pertains to cell transformation and immortalization. He was awarded the National Institute of Health's T-32 research training grant, contributing to the publication of two research papers during this period (Kang, 2007; Shin, 2007).
Ultimately though, it was the importance of smiles and promoting good oral health that drew Dr. Kim back to the clinical aspect of dentistry. He is definitely a 'people person' and loves working with his staff and patients. Dr. Kim strongly believes in promoting preventative dental care and whenever possible, conservative dental procedures.
Dr. Kim lives with his wife, Juliana, and his two daughters, Alicia and Ella. He loves to draw and doodle (and he will probably doodle a tooth or two when you come to visit) in his spare time. He loves hiking and mountain biking with his daughters.

(Translated by Google) Both the staff and teachers are friendly and explain well, so I still go to the dentist even after moving away. (Original) seutaepeubundeulgwa seonsaengnim modu cinjeolhago seolmyeongdo jal haejusyeoseo meolri isagan huedo cigwareul olmgiji anhgo danigo issseubnida.

Professional and friendly services in a top notch facility! Dr. Kim made the experience enjoyable and easy for both me and my 2 year old niece (no easy feat). I will continue to drive 30 minutes to see Dr. Kim (my former dentist was 5 mins away) and will confidently refer all my friends and family to him. Thanks Dr. Kim! 2018 Edit: My niece is now 4.5 and is getting over a year long phobia of doctors. She had her first check up in over a year due to her phobia. Imagine my shock when she claimed afterwards that she loves Dr. Kim. She wants to be a dentist when she grows up and asked for dental play kits and dental books from the library. I can't believe the same girl who dreaded going to any doctor/dentist/nurse is now very much looking forward to her next visit with Dr Kim.
