    Dr Brian J Kim's office 2nd floor
    Jesseney J.

    Dr Kim , Sandra and the one who took my X-ray were amazingly amazing! They were so understanding of my situation and they reviewed my teeth as a second opinion. Dr Kim explained well what he thinks I need to do to finish up my treatment. He measured my teeth. Sandra also made me feel comfortable and entertained me with my questions. I loved her personality. Dr Kim is also going out of his way to write notes and sending X-rays to my orthodontist. I loved the office and I wish I would have came her to start my treatment. I was anxious at first but they treated me with respect and kindness. I would definitely recommend my family members to come here! Thank you Dr. Kim! :)

    2.5 years later, I'M DONE! I can't believe my smile looks this good. Up until the very, very end, my treatment was so carefully and meticulously taken care of by Dr. Kim. His detail oriented nature was just what I needed to know he would finish my smile strong. The office and its staff always had a great energy as they were genuinely welcoming at all times. My mom is nearing the end of her Invisalign treatment at almost 60 years old, and I have a family friend who has started treatment with his traditional metal braces at 9 years old. Both love the office and Dr. Kim. I've since referred lots more people to Dr. Kim (a handful of whom have started), and they all love treatment with him! Thank you, Dr. Kim & Staff!

    My daughter's smile (overbite) has improved drastically within the first 3 months of starting treatment. Dr Kim is kind, patient and knows his stuff! The staff is welcoming, and super kind to my daughter and all their patients. They are so invested in their patients that my daughter even received a post card from a Dental Assistant to follow-up on a conversation they had during Christmas. Love this place!!!

During the appointment, the dental assistant spoke to my children in a raised and condescending tone and was rough while performing a scan, which left my daughter visibly uncomfortable. When I asked that she please be gentle, the interaction became tense and the assistant's focus shifted to repeatedly warning us about a $50 fee next time a bracket comes off, even though the bracket had come off while my daughter was flossing and she was already avoiding restricted foods due to tenderness. I was also uncomfortable with some hygiene practices during the visit, as the assistant's hair repeatedly touched my children's faces and the scanner sleeve was removed before being placed in my child's mouth. In my experience, pediatric dental visits should involve patience, calm communication, and reassurance for children. I have shared these concerns directly with the office and hope they review the situation so families continue to receive the level of care we experienced in the past.

    I had multiple very disappointing experiences at this office. I felt the communication and…read moreexplanations of my treatment were unclear, and at times inconsistent between visits. During my initial visit in November 2025, I was told I only needed a deep cleaning and they suggested the Perio Treatment costing $1600. However, at a follow-up visit in April, I was presented with a treatment plan exceeding $10,000, despite having no pain or noticeable symptoms. They convinced me to do the Perio paid $1200 in March for it and now the Gum Specialist says I should stop that and do the 8$k procedure first. Lol! Like do you guys even communicate???? This significant change in recommended treatment was not clearly explained to me in a way that made sense, which left me feeling confused and concerned about the necessity and urgency of the proposed procedures. I also felt that my questions were not fully addressed, and I did not feel confident in the consistency of the diagnosis. I also had appts at a specific time and they saw me almost 1 hour later etc! The cost of treatment also felt unexpectedly high compared to what was initially discussed. Because of these concerns, I will be seeking a second opinion and continuing care elsewhere.

    I've been to Smiles West before, about a year ago. At that time, everything seemed fine. However,…read moreafter my treatment, a front desk employee with curly hair and glasses(Tatiana i believe is her name) tried to charge me around $400 for mouthwash following a deep cleaning. I declined immediately because that is completely unreasonable. On April 6th, I returned for a deep cleaning and dental check. When I walked in, I signed in, but none of the front desk staff acknowledged me. I ended up waiting about 40 minutes past my appointment time before being called. The dentist, Dr. Luoug (I may be spelling that incorrectly), was great. He was professional, made me feel comfortable, and explained everything clearly. Unfortunately, the rest of the experience went downhill from there. I was informed that the hygienist who performs deep cleanings was no longer there, and no one had called to notify me in advance. My insurance only covers one deep cleaning every two years and regular cleanings every six months. This was never explained to me beforehand. I was told to schedule another appointment for treatment. The same front desk employee, Tatiana, scheduled me for the following week. When I returned, I waited another 45 minutes. Before even going in, Tatiana told me I needed to pay $480 for an inlay, claiming it was my copay. This immediately raised a red flag because I have never had a copay for fillings with my insurance in the past six years. I called my insurance provider on the spot. They confirmed there was no copay. I handed the phone to her, and the representative explained the same and offered to send documentation. A few minutes later, I was suddenly told the cost was now $250 instead. That inconsistency made it very clear something was not right. I refused to proceed and left. This experience felt extremely unprofessional and concerning. The pricing kept changing, and it felt like I was being pushed to pay amounts that were not accurate. Patients should not have to question basic billing like this or feel pressured into paying unclear charges disguised as "co-pays". I'm disappointed to write this, but people deserve transparency and honesty, especially when it comes to healthcare. No one should have to deal with this kind of situation. Perhaps the only reason they are keeping Tatiana is so she can constantly overcharge the "co-pays". Her customer service is -5 stars
