This is a long overdue review for Dr. Doil Kim who gifted my boys with beautiful smiles they can enjoy for a lifetime! From day one, Dr. Doil Kim set himself apart from the previous orthodontist I met with for a consultation. Dr. Doil Kim truly listened to all my concerns and desires I had for my son. My son's top teeth had gaps, lower jaw was sticking out, and the front teeth were not closing properly. It was not pretty! Then, Dr. Doil Kim with his expertise carefully and patiently explained the problems and curated a customized treatment plan that met all of my son's needs and more. The other orthodontist did not mention all the problems and wanted to treat my son with a plan that could have a caused a catastrophic outcome if the problem had not been dealt with from the start. I immediately trusted Dr. Doil Kim and did not trust any other orthodontists. It was a no brainer to have my other son start treatment as well. Every appointment went smoothly. Dr. Doil Kim and his staff treated our family with warmth, kindness, and professionalism. My boys now have straight and beautiful teeth that function properly. Thank you! You are the BEST! read more

Choosing the right Orthodontist is challenging but I am glad I found Dr.Kim. I already had metal braces a couple of years ago but I started seeing gaps in my teeth and my overbite came back because I didn't wear the retainers. I originally wanted metal braces but Dr.Kim suggested an Invisalign treatment and oh boy! It's a lot painless than the metal braces and I already see a huge progress on my overbite only in 3 months! Dr.Kim is very knowledgeable, detail oriented and caring. He cares a lot about your oral health as well and focuses on giving you a healthy and functional bite with a perfect smile! read more

I cracked my clear plastic retainers that you receive after your treatment. I contacted him via email after hours, and he responded immediately that they will make another one for me free of cost since it was my first time. Just being able to contact them via email after hours is amazing enough. But making another pair of retainers after I cracked mine is going above and beyond. Coming to Dr Kim has made be realize how ignorant I was. read more

I was looking around for a second orthodontic treatment for almost 2 years. Finally, I decided to get it done this year before my dental insurance coverage gets expired. Invisalign was one of my options but I decided to go with traditional clear braces to save myself time and money. I spent over 2 months shopping around with several consultations, a few x-ray sessions and 5 dental offices in many areas, I settled with dr. Kim after meeting him for the first time. I was able to discuss all of my concerns. He also answered all of my questions with his experiences and knowledge and that's everything I ever wanted from an orthodontist. I'm now 6 months in and my teeth is already super straight and well aligned. I absolutely am excited to see my smile becoming even more beautiful with perfect teeth after the treatment is done in 6 more months! Many thanks to dr. Kim and all of the friendly staffs! read more

Dr. Doil was our family orthodontist, recommended by our pediatric dentist. 2 of our family members went to him - myself and my eldest son. He is fantastic at explaining the recommended treatment plan in a well-thought, informative, concise and understandable way using modern technology to show you immediately what's going on, what he will do, end end result. I found some orthodontists take their time in trying to figure out the treatment plan, make you come in for a few visits and then talk way too much - 3 appts later you have an assessment. Not in this case, you get the assessment right away. Throughout the treatment, he is excellent at making you feel comfortable about what is happening/next steps and he is fast - so you can go on with your day. Because of that, he had our full trust and confidence. He is very gentle, as is all his staff who are equally efficient, pleasant and make the overall experience enjoyable. Office is super clean with movies playing & other entertainment. I think this is for parents that wait while their kids are getting treatment bc wait time for patients was never a challenge. Parking is free and plentiful. I believe the fees are in line with typical orthodontic fees. But where fees are typical, I really think the skill level/trust is most important, and in this area Dr. Doil's office definitely deserves 5 stars. The fact that you aren't paying a premium for all that is amazing. If I were to move back to LA, I wouldn't hesitate to go back to their office. Best of all, when we moved back to Canada, the orthodontists that we had seen to transfer treatment with both praised the work that Dr. Doil had performed to date. That speaks for itself. I'm writing this review as a mom with 4 kids and when it comes to dental work, it really can be stressful finding the right fit. Hope this helps someone out there looking for ortho treatment :-) read more

I was suppose to 'shop around' for an ortho to start braces at this tender age of 27, but upon going into Dr. Kim's office and having the consultation, I was sold on his professional and gentle persona, his lovely staff, and his pristine office! 'Take my money. Where do I sign?' Dr. Kim was patient and thorough in explaining all my options and was extremely honest and realistic about my results. At the end, I chose to go with Invisalign and here I am, 6 months in, and I can't say how happy I am with the progress! Scheduling is made easy because his staff are so accommodating and organized, and parking is awesomely easy since its in a structure. I would, without a doubt, recommend Dr. Doil Kim for all your orthodontic needs! Keep up the great work, doc and staff! read more

Very good service. Doctor always welcomes you everytime you walk in. I recommend going here to get your braces or your other orthodontal needs. read more

After having my braces on for 19 months, I am finally brace free and couldn't be happier with my results! It's a shame my mouth is naturally just so small and for that reason I can't show off my teeth as much as I would like to. I have nothing but GREAT things to say about Dr Doil and his staff! His whole team is AMAZING! They are professionals who offer the best care! It has always been a pleasant experience every time I am there to see Dr Doil. The front desk always welcomes me by greeting me by my name. I never had to wait no longer than 5 minutes max. The techs are very attentive and detail oriented and extremely helpful. No matter how busy it gets, Dr Doil makes his way to you and treats you himself! I really appreciate that. Dr Doil is extremely knowledgeable and a skilled orthodontist! His education and credentials are from prestigious universities in the world such as UCLA, USC, and Harvard. Dr Doil lays out all the options and gives you his professional and honest opinion for each option. Then together both you and Dr Doil pick the best option that is most accommodating and right for you. One of the greatest thing about Dr Doil is that he is CONFIDENT, BOLD, and a PERFECTIONIST. Dr Doil does not promise you promises he cannot keep. He told me he will get me out of braces in 2 years and with the best results and he sure did (actually sooner than 2 years for me). He is seriously the best Orthodontist ever!!! On the side note, Doil Kim Orthodontics also provides you with a payment plan so it's not overwhelming yet affordable. The office is always squeaky clean which is a PLUS PLUS PLUS! I love the interior and the cute paintings! They have latest most advanced technology to ensure you the best care. There are also complimentary things they offer such as water, coffee, tea, books, magazines, games and movies for the children. I VOUCH for Dr Doil! You will have no regrets and complaints. I recommend everyone to Dr Doil. Last but not least I also want to acknowledge Laura & Lilian for their utmost care and being helpful the past 19 months. read more

When I went for my initial consultation, I was impressed with the cleanliness of the dental clinic and the high tech equipment e.g. X-ray machine and the table monitor showing the results. Dr. Doil Kim was very pleasant and made me at ease with his calm manner. I am now on my second year of wearing my braces. Every monthly visit is always a nice experience. Dr. Kim would even take me in 15 mins early as I usually show up 15 mins early from my scheduled appointment. He is very efficient and professional together with all his staff. I appreciate the fact that I see a diverse clientele whenever I visit. Thank you! read more

I'm so glad I found Dr. Kim! This is my third time getting braces (wear your retainers kids!) and since I'm older now I have so many questions about the process. Dr. Kim is great at explaining how the braces are working and what each step is doing. He's very patient and friendly. Scratch that, the whole OFFICE is patient and friendly! Dr. Kims office also helps you with payment of braces since most likely they aren't covered by insurance. :( This process has been so great! Thanks Dr. Kim! read more

Dr. Doil Kim is amazing!! I had braces for a year and a half and he was outstandingly patient and very knowledgeable the whole time. The assistants are also very gentle and kind. The staff, place, and accessible parking is beyond great! read more

Love his idea of what is an ideal treatment. 2 retainers and it's all included in the price. A lot of these ortho offices in K Town do not have good prices. Other offices send you off elsehwere for x rays and charge interests etc. Dr. Kim's staff will work with you and has everything needed to trear you in his office! I cannot wait to start treatment ! read more

The nurses here are so nice and accommodating, and they are so wonderful! They are knowledgeable and friendly, and they make all of my visits painless and actually kind of fun! The doctor is a super nice guy, and this clinic is definitely recommended. I wouldn't go anywhere else. read more

Here you will notice and experience.... 1. A doctor who happily greets each patient personally every single month 2. A doctor who reports or comments to the patient and/or parent every single month 3. A doctor who answers your questions thoroughly 4. A front desk who so kindly calls and reminds you of your appointments 5. A front desk who treats you with utmost respect 6. A clean, quiet, comfortable waiting room with coffee and tea You will see a difference with Dr. Doil Kim's Orthodontics!!! read more

THank you Dr Doil and Staff!! read more

Dr Kim was referred to me by my Dentist who recommended I get braces. All my younger days, I was scared to get braces with all the horror stories people would talk about how painful it is and etc. After my Dentist had recently strongly suggested to get braces, I went to go see Dr Kim for a consultation. Not only is his office beautifully decorated, his staff is amazing as well. Dr Kim made me feel so comfortable throughout the consultation and provide step by step details what I will be looking forward to. It's been over a year, my teeth are beautiful, still have some stuff to work on, however I can smile now! I never smiled in pictures as I always always self conscious of my teeth, I smirked. All my pictures after meeting Dr Kim, I'm beaming and love to have the biggest smile in any pictures I take or be in. Thank you Dr Kim for making my journey a painless one and always a great experience whenever I go in for an appointment. I cannot say it enough, go see Dr Kim!!! read more

I was referred to Dr. Doil Kim by my Dentist and i am forever grateful. I am very pleased with the friendliness of the staff and Dr. Kim himself. When having my first consult with Dr.Kim, everything was thoroughly explained. Every visit, the staff and doctor makes you feel very comfortable. The staff is very helpful and professional. They also have late appointments which helps out with my busy schedule, that is always a plus! I would highly recommend this office for any of your ortho needs. read more

I only have the greatest things to say about Dr. Kim and his office. Dr. Kim's practice is professional and Dr. Kim is very knowledgeable, skilled and detailed. What I really appreciate is how Dr. Kim is a perfectionist and so the final product of my teeth was AMAZING. I am so pleased with the results and I have absolutely no complaints. Dr. Kim and his staff run a very organized office and it is always pristine, using the most modern technology. Everyone was so helpful with a very pleasant demeanor and each appointment was timely and went smoothly. I love my teeth now and I honestly would recommend Dr. Kim to anyone who wants the best results from a very trustworthy and professional orthodontist. Dr. Doil's Orthodontics most definitely deserves the full five stars. read more

Dr. Kim and his staff are absolutely amazing! They're friendly, courteous and honest ! 3 things I find important with something as important as dental care! I had my braces put on in March of 2014, and as promised by Dr. Kim they came off as soon as my teeth were perfect. I've never been one to smile but now I can't stop! Dr. Kim is extremely professional. He is thorough and patient, making sure to keep your preferences in mind. I highly recommend him for all ages! read more

Great service, and the doctor and nurses are so genuine & professional. I would definitely recommend it to patients of all ages.

I was able to see some results right away on my daughter's teeth, both top and bottom. Amazing!! Hopefully my younger one won't need braces, but if he needs them definitely coming back to Dr. Kim for the job. Very professional. read more

The orthodontist here is very gentle and they really care for their patients.

Dr. Doil Kim is amazing! The staffs are also very friendly. My teeth is gettin. Better and better everyday. Thank you dr. Doil Kim

Dr. Doil Kim and his staff are awesome! Being in my 20s I really didn't know what to expect going in to get braces, but when we sat down with one of his staff she kindly explained everything from payment plans to my current dental condition to the options available for an adult like me. They recommended a great dentist (dr. Lee Byung moo few doors away) for me to get everything fixed up :) Once we started the process, he explained every step of the way-what he was going to do next, how that was going to effect my teeth, and pains to expect. When my jaw locked up one day I emailed him in panic because his office was closed, but he responded promptly and had me come in the next day. He explained very patiently what might have caused it and referred me to a TMJ specialist, who also was super nice :). Now i'm all better and very pleased with this whole experience so far! I still have more than a year left to go but I'm excited to see the results because everyone has been complimenting on how nice they are turning up. I would totally recommend him to anyone who is thinking about getting braces. read more

The doctor's GREAT. He listens and tries to work with you on how you want your teeth to look. He understands the aestheticism of the teeth. I haven't finished my braces yet, but his work is just too awesome that i need to write a review. The inside decor is very clean and state of the art. If you're looking for a place to get top notch braces and service, you should definitely check this place out. read more

Dr. Kim and the staffs are the best team ever together. They are always smiling and welcoming for all people and willing to help you to have a beautiful smile as well. Dr.kim is a super smart person(graduated harvard university), but guess what? He is very polite, friendly, nice and would like to listen really carefully of your opinions, too. Highly highly recommend to all. read more

I was referred to Dr. Kim through a friend. I was nervous because a lot of orthodontics do not recommend Invisalign but since I'm an adult, I opted to do that over the traditional metal braces. My procedure was for 1 year and the results could have not been better. The staff was always super friendly and accommodating with appointments and requests. Dr. Kim was always honest and friendly, giving enough time to never make me feel like I am being rushed in and out. He was also very stern on coming in for check ups so he can be involved in the process and make sure my teeth were moving correctly. They also accept payment plans but be cautious of when you select that payment option. I put a deposit down, but that deposit is separate from the total cost of the plan. It was additional and did not go towards the teeth. For that I had to knock the star because it wasn't communicated clearly so make sure to go over your numbers and ask all questions! read more

So, where do I start? I first got to know Dr. Kim through my former dentist before I moved to WA. He presented my case with such knowledge and honesty. I was suffering from anterior crowding with heavy bruxism. I asked if grinding is caused by stress or bad occlusion perhaps. He said "Reason for grinding is yet to be revealed, but there are many theories." Then, he added "it will enhance your occlusion and bite, but it is up to you. You have to be prepared to start the treatment and cooperate with us till the end or it's not worth your time and money." How many doctors would say that? Most, if not all doctors/treatment coordinators are busy selling and starting the treatment to collect money. I hate sugar coating when it comes to my health period. This one was different. He wanted to ensure I could cope to prevent future problems such as cavities, gingivitis and etc. I really felt he cared for his patients/potential patients. After almost a year into the treatment,I had to move to WA. So I had to leave him, but thankfully I relocated back to CA and started coming back. I did not think twice of who to seek for this specialty. Also, I can't say enough about his staffs. They were so happy to see me again! It was like seeing a friend that I haven't met in years. He is informative and on the dot with his work. I love my smile and get lot of complements :) I visit him to tighten my retainer is it feels loose with "No Extra Charge." He ensures me it's because I was compliant and thanks me! FYI, retainer is included in the treatment cost. read more

My two kids have been coming to this office for two years and I couldn't be happier with the result. Dr. Kim explains each step in detail and always happy to provide answers to any questions. All the staffs are very caring and friendly. Highly recommend this office if you are looking for orthodontist!!!! read more
