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!

After more than 10 years of not stepping foot into the dentist because of my phobia of dentists I'm…read moreglad that I found one with nice and gentle staff. From the receptionist, to the dental hygienist to the Drs, everyone is so nice and professional. They listen to my concerns especially when I say that I'm terrified of any dental procedure. They are gentle and make me feel comfortable. Cannot forget office manager Melissa also is very professional and always is available when you have any dental issues to make your appointments. Usually after I visit a dentist I don't go back until I have pain. I've been going back and keeping up with the cleanings after my deep clean for the first time in my life. Don't be afraid. Make the appointment.

Melissa, the office manager, is wonderful. She's very informative when it comes to pricing, insurance benefits, and coverage, and she makes the whole process feel seamless and stress-free. The front desk staff is also friendly, welcoming, and always helpful from the moment you walk in. The dental hygienist who did my cleaning today was extremely thorough yet so gentle and careful. It was genuinely a pleasant experience, which isn't something you hear often about dental visits. This was my second visit, and I've already referred my husband because they truly make going to the dentist feel calm and stress-free. Highly recommend this office!

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've been coming here for over 15 years, since I was a child, even before the rebrand. Back then, I…read morewasn't aware of how things operated, but over time I came to understand the pattern. For every appointment, expect to be called in about an hour after your scheduled appointment time. The office consistently feels disorganized. On top of that, I waited a year and a half for an authorization that kept getting submitted incorrectly. During that time, I received multiple letters from my insurance stating that the request was being denied. Every time I called to ask what was going on, I got a different answer. Eventually, I was told, "It looks like we were submitting the authorization for the wrong tooth." Even after the authorization was finally approved, nobody contacted me. I had to call the office myself to find out. After waiting all that time, I was excited because I believed my insurance would finally cover the treatment. I then waited another month for my appointment, only to arrive and be told I needed to make a $650 payment. What? At no point was I informed that I would be responsible for any out of pocket cost. Had I known beforehand, I could have prepared or at least made an informed decision. For years, I was also repeatedly encouraged by one of the staff members to fix a tiny chip in my front tooth that's barely noticeable. The proposed treatment would have cost around $800 for one tooth, but I was told I would likely need to do all four front teeth to match the color, bringing the total closer to $3,200. Then I was told that because the chip is so small, the bonding might eventually fall off and require touch ups. If that's the case, what exactly am I paying thousands of dollars for? I don't usually leave reviews, but this experience was genuinely eye opening. After more than 15 years as a patient, I expected better.

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.
