"After seeing multiple dentists in this county. I can officially say I found my dentist. Dr. Kim is next level, and his staff is beyond amazing. Thank you for making me feel cared for and nurtured."

"Dr Kim purchased the business and client list for my previous dentist, Dr Henry Ramirez. Upon checkup, Dr Kim found that I had several issues, and I made an appointment to do a chunk of the work, including two crowns and several cavities being filled. Dr Kim worked very fast, and did all the work in an hour, including two temporary caps. When I returned to have the permanent crowns put in, I could immediately tell that one of the crowns was ill-fitting, much too big for my mouth. I told this to Dr Kim and he worked on it a bit, but ultimately I left that day. It did not feel better the next day; and I could tell my chewing was not normal because of the size and height. I went back the following day to get it adjusted. Again, even post adjustment, it was too big. I returned again, and it still feels off. I've gotten a few crowns over the years, and I have never had one that didn't fit even after multiple visits. I believe that the crown is just the wrong size. Instead of putting in a new crown that fits, Dr Kim has been working on it to reshape it, and it still doesn't feel right. Overall I am disappointed with this experience. I tried going back to Dr Kim despite this issue and scheduled a cleaning and exam. This appointment was even worse. The "cleaning" I got was terrible - the practitioner did NOT probe for gum depth despite it being 1 year since my previous cleaning. She also sprayed me with water multiple times with water, hit me in the head with the X-ray machine, and spent significantly less time than any practitioner before in actually cleaning my teeth. When the cleaning was complete, I expected to see the dentist. I asked where he was and if I would be seeing him today after all. Mara (the receptionist who booked the appointment) told me he was "stuck" over the hill, and asked if I would like to reschedule. I told her I would be finding a new dentist. This practice does a HORRIBLE job and treats their patients very, very poorly. Do yourself a favor and find a different dentist."
