I was terrified to have my wisdom teeth pulled. I had never gone under before or had a surgery. I was SO scared. But Doctor Kim did such an amazing job, I couldn't believe it. This is 100% the doctor for you if you're nervous about surgeries or anything going wrong. This guy has so much experience and he knows exactly what he's doing. He's very fair with pricing too. He even gave me advice on some probiotics! Just a genuinely good, down to earth guy! Happens to be very smart too! read more

I had a great experience with Dr. Kim. I had my wisdom teeth removed after much procrastination, and the entire process was very smooth. I was pretty anxious going into have my wisdom teeth removed, but it was literally completely painless. Honestly, I couldn't believe that I never even thought about taking the painkillers I was prescribed. I definitely recommend Dr. Kim for wisdom teeth removal. read more

I had an unpleasant experience with doctor kim's office. I felt like it was an assembly line. Dr Kim did not spend much time with me explaining what he is going to do. Ordered CT scan which I found out was not necessary and a wasted extra cost to me. No AC in the office even on an extremely hot day. read more

Dr Kim have an extremely poor bedside manner. Arrogance is one thing, rudeness is the other. He expects his patients to do what he thinks is right. No discussions or decisions about your own health can be made by you. " if you are going to take the lead on your care here, you can walk out of this door' ... this is what I was told. Yes, Dr Kim, I will take a lead on my own dental care and there are many many super experienced oral surgeons in the Bay Area and you won't be getting my business. read more

The one star relates to my overall experience with Dr. Kim's office. I have no reason to believe that he's a great oral surgeon, but his practice is a huge money-making machine and I don't recommend his services to anyone who wants to get things done WITHOUT being bombarded with advertisement and coerced into procedures he might not need. I went to see Dr. Kim after I read all the positive reviews on Yelp. I needed to have ONE tooth extracted due to cracking. However, after a very brief conversation with him, Dr. Kim tried to convince me that I needed ALL of my wisdom teeth removed, plus bone grafting, plus some sort of procedure to aid my recovery. I explained that this all sounds great, but a) I need to make wise financial choices because I have a small baby and a budget to think about, and b) that I will need to discuss his suggestions with my general dentist AND with my orthodontist first before I make any decisions. What I found preposterous was his reaction - he aggressively tried to convince me that I didn't HAVE to consult anyone, because he, as an oral surgeon, called all the shots. Unfortunately for him, I am not the kind of person one can scare into spending lots of money (over $2000 for only two teeth removed). This morning I went to another oral surgeon and got my tooth removed, no fuss, no muss. I will be writing a review for my experience with him too (which was excellent, and much cheaper). Dr. Kim's approach was very off-putting and I am glad I didn't have to deal with him for my dental needs. read more

Best medical experience of my life, no question about it. I'll preface this by saying I avoided getting my wisdoms out for years. I was terrified by the idea of anesthesia and losing control of my body, worried I would be in severe pain, and overall anxious to the point of nightmares over this procedure. If you're highly sensitive and you need your teeth removed, keep reading: this review is for you. With zero exaggeration I can say that every member of Dr. Kim's team is incredible at helping patients feel at ease and taken care of. Dr. Kim himself is stellar. He has a sense of humor, he's got interpersonal skills at a level that I find rare, and he's got a steady hand. The process on surgery day was easy and even the process of receiving anesthesia was virtually painless. Dr. Kim told me to "go to a nice beach in my mind" and that he'd be giving me "three glasses of wine." I don't even remember falling asleep, but next minute I had my eyes open to Julie saying "you're all done! You did great!" I was shocked. The worst part after that was just the taste of the topical medication, which I masked with coffee ice cream :) I didn't even take my prescribed medicine, I just took a lot of ibuprofen to control the minimal pain. 8 days after my surgery day, I'm able to eat normally again. I had my checkup appointment and everything is healing wonderfully. I put my full trust into Dr. Joseph Kim and his superb team. If you've got a referral for this practice, I urge you to go through with it. I feel so much gratitude for having met these medical professionals who totally reframed my idea and expectation of a procedure. I think I will be much less fearful in the future because of how positive this experience was. It even costed less than I expected (I have delta dental PPO). Lavina, Diana, Marcella, Dr. Kim, and everyone else who contributed to my experience: thank you thank you thank you. read more

I went in for an oral evaluation to see if I needed to get my wisdom teeth pulled out or not, as a follow up from my dentist Karen Ho. Since I am pregnant, he did not do any x-rays on me. All he did was look at my teeth and we talked about my options. I can't believe I had to pay $110.00 for someone to just look at my teeth for 10 minutes. They billed my insurance company as it being a regular ol' evaluation instead of a specialist consultation. Which is complete bullshit! If my regular dentist can't help me and she sends me to someone who can, isn't that a SPECIALIST!??!?!?! complete bullshit. Just make sure you check with your insurance company before going here. UPDATE: My husband had to call, and they went ahead and billed me through my insurance...took long enough! They were trying to send me to collections. read more

He used hard sell tactics to get me into the chair in the first place. He did not provide all of the facts up front about everything involved in the procedure I was having. In other words, he did not fully disclose nor did he obtain proper consent. Part way through the procedure he is hanging antibiotics (huh? never said he would), particularly, antibiotics with ototoxic properties, and I have tinnitus due to years of taking ototoxic medications. When I started questioning what he was doing, he acted like I had just flipped him off. I will never go near this man again. read more

This is a long well due review. I had my implant done with Dr Kim six years ago. I'm not an expert of dental treatments, but since then, there was no problem with my implant at all, and most importantly, I had three dentists in different areas (California, Seattle, and Taiwan) all told me the implant was done perfectly with the best technology in the US, and looks like it's going to last lifetime. I don't know about you, but for me, that's the most important thing for an implant surgery. read more

You can only get your wisdom teeth pulled once. So I went with Dr. Kim following a recommendation from my personal dentist. Procedure was smooth. Here's how it went for me. 1. Consultation (3-4 months before operation) - looked at my panoramic xray - talked about removing all 4 - reviewed procedure, discussed using general anesthesia - set an appointment w/estimate of cost 2. Operation - arrived early in the morning. didn't eat/drink the night before or the day of - operation w/ iv (me falling asleep to waking up) took about 1 hour - sent home to recover 3. First Week - Dr. Kim called me a few days later ask how I was doing (from his personal phone on a SUNDAY afternoon) - wore an ice pack on my head for total of 24 hours or 2 whole days - no swelling or pain at all - felt back to normal by 48 hrs, other than noticing the obvious gap in my gums 4. Check-Up (One week later) - everything seemed fine. i received a syringe to clean out the holes -- I did some research online after the operation and it seems like a lot of people are worried about costs, getting extra charges for nonsense, useless x-rays, old equipment, etc. I can assure you that Dr. Kim and his staff maintained clarity throughout the entire process. His office and equipment used are modern - don't let the office building exterior mislead you. Overall, professional staff and I'm impressed with Dr. Kim's capability. No swelling or pain and a fast recovery, a miracle compared to everyone else's experiences? Five stars. (PS: If you're on a low budget, apparently the military can do it for free if you join them! If that's not practical enough for you, just do local anesthesia.) read more

I am not a patient so my review is not about how good Dr Kim is. This review is for the staff and their handling of logistics. My bf got his wisdom teeth removed, and he needed someone to take him there and drive him home. This is all very well documented in the patient pamphlet that he brought back. I carefully read through the whole thing to make sure I understand what kind of care he needs post surgery. The documents do not mention at all that some one should stay home with him after the surgery. When my bf's surgery was done, I went into the room to pick him up. The nurse said, ok so when you go home you need to make sure you ice him every 30 min, and give him these medication every 4 hours if necessary, etc. And then the conversation went something like this: me: wait, does he need someone to stay home with him?? nurse: um ya, he had general anestesia, of course. you have to work today?? me: um ya. I did not know that I needed to stay home, you did not put it on the documents. nurse: um, this is general anestesia, of course he needs to be taken care of. me: well I didn't know that, if it's so important, why didn't you put it on the documents? nurse: your bf should have told you, we must have verbally told him to inform you. me: well, he didn't. (at this point he said he also didn't know). just as a suggestion, you should put it on the documents so this misunderstanding doesn't happen again. nurse: well this is the first time that I've encountered this with a patient. Everyone else knows that general anestesia means that someone needs to stay home with the patient. I don't have problem taking a day off to take care of my bf, I just didn't know because they didn't put it on paper and I did not attend the consultation so whether they verbally informed my bf I have no idea. Point is, if it's so important, and if you recommend that patients need someone to stay home with them, PUT IT ON THE DOCUMENTS, so we know ahead of time. I also did not appreciate that the nurse judged me and made me feel like I have no common sense about what general anestesia implies, and she also made me feel like a bad person not willing to take care of a patient. read more

Doctor: Skilled ,fast ,personable. Front desk : Money hungry, manipulative. read more

I haven't written a review in so damn long that I think I've forgotten how to yelp. For some reason, whenever I think about yelping, I just wanna write B!TCHY-@$$ review about the ri-donk-u-lously awful service I've received, reviews SO MEAN that they will make said store owners and customer service reps WEEP BITTER TEARS OF REGRET AND SHAME for daring to cross me. But then I start to feel guilty because, underneath my Wicked Witch of the West exterior, *sigh*, cowers a big ol' softie. So I thought I better cheer myself up by writing a review about something PLEASANT. And what could be more pleasant than having one's wisdom teeth removed,...when they're removed by DR. JOSEPH S. KIM, DMD?!? Yes. It's true. I am not hopped-up on meds. I did not swallow some happy pill. I truly had a wonderful experience with Dr. Kim. It's just as everybody has written - the office is pleasant and warm (i.e. you definitely don't feel like you are entering a beige chamber of torture and anguish); he thoroughly explains everything (pre- and post-operation, as well as the operation itself) and leaves plenty of room for questions; he makes himself available; and, yes, he does, indeed, call the day after the extraction to ensure that you are alive, well, and not bleeding to death. I am probably one of his older patients so I was worried that I would suffer the "Chipmunk Cheek Syndrome" for much longer after the extraction, or that he would have to saw through my hardened bone to get through to some of my wisdom teeth. Thankfully, he explained that I would only need two of the four removed. AND, believe it or not, after the extraction (which was so quick that, when I woke-up, I thought he hadn't even started), I was able to chomp on KOREAN FOOD that same evening - bi bim bap, kalbi, yummmm. Ummm,...of course, I kinda lied to him when he called the next day. (Dr. Kim: "Did you stick with the recommended eating plan?" Me: "Ummm,..yesssss, of course....") Oops. Still. Despite my naughty behavior, my cheeks only slightly swelled for 2-3 days and, when I went back to work, nobody could believe that I had my wisdom teeth extracted 'cuz my face looked so normal. VICTORY. If y'all are still hesitating about having your wisdom teeth removed, HESITATE NO LONGER. Food doesn't get stuck in awkward places in the back of my mouth anymore, and everything was back to normal so quickly that the procedure and healing process seem to be a pleasant, distant memory. So, yeah. GO GET IT DONE. It's worth it. You'll be in good hands. read more

This is yet another long over-due review. Yesterday I went to Dr. Kim's office for a 3-year post-op checkup for my 2nd tooth implant. And four years ago I had another one done here as well. I did not find Dr. Kim on Yelp. My general dentist referred me to him 4 years ago when it became clear that I needed a tooth implant surgery. My dentist sends all her patients to Dr. Kim for oral surgery as Dr. Kim is among the best in the area. My dentist also teaches in the university in SF so I have confidence in her referral. Where do I start? Since it's been so long and I almost forgot about the fact that I went through two oral surgeries. I think that is a good thing. If they were horrible experiences I would have had remembered and made sure I tell everyone about it. LOL... Dr. Kim is not only super nice, but his work is top-notch. I can vouch for that as my two tooth implants surgeries went perfectly without any complications and the results were great. To this day my teeth all still look great and feel like nothing has been done to them. I recommend going with the option to add bone growth factors as that helps with the bone at the implant area to grow so the implants would stick. It costs a little more but it is definitely worth it. Having heard about all kinds of horror stories about tooth implants gone wrong, including my own brother's story, I feel very lucky to have Dr. Kim perform the surgery for me so I got everything done right in the first place. My brother spent a fortune to get a tooth implant, but it wasn't done right, so there was inflammation inside and he had to have it removed, which was another surgery that also cost a furtune. After the surgery, Dr. Kim has a set follow-up schedule. So you just follow the schedule to go back so he can check to make sure everything is o.k. All these follow-ups at no additional charge. The office staff is all very nice and helpful, and efficient too. It does matter, especially when you are going in for a surgery and not knowing what to expect. I kept joking to Dr. Kim that I hope I never have to come back to see him again. Let's face it; no one likes to go to the dentist office. But Dr. Kim and his office staff makes it a pleasant (even though I hate to say that) experience to go to his office for your dental issues. read more

I had all four of my wisdom teeth pulled in southern California while on leave from work, but had problems when I got back to northern California and had to find an oral surgeon in the area. My on-site dentist at work recommended Dr. Kim. He was great. His office staff was the most genuinely cheerful bunch of people I've ever met. He was extremely personable -- he put me right at ease. He didn't cause me any pain -- I was a little anxious about the procedure (he did a debridement: removal of dead tissue in my infected tooth socket), but it went smoothly and there was *no* pain afterwards! I was amazed. He also charged me less than he could have -- charging me the cheaper of two similar procedures saying that if I'd gotten my wisdom teeth pulled by him (or if I'd gone back to the oral surgeon who did pull my teeth), this wouldn't have cost me anything. The other notable thing about my visit was that the office was packed with people (I guess it was an extremely busy day), and there was a woman there who'd brought her mother into the office to meet Dr. Kim and his staff. You have to be pretty happy with your oral surgeon to want to bring your mother in to meet him :) I've been back to the office a couple of times since then, and each time it's been a really great experience. I can't recommend him highly enough. read more

This review is long overdue. About three years overdo, in fact. My bottom wisdom teeth had been coming through slowly for years, and have caused me some problems, but it's just one of those things you never get around too. Seriously, who wants to deal with oral surgery? Last time I did, I wasn't completely out, and remember the chisel and hammer in my mouth. Seriously. Then there's the gaping holes in your mouth that have to heal, so your diet is limited and in the age of webmd and wiki, I learned what dry rot is. Awesome. In any case, I finally went in. X-Ray. Yup, they need to go. Scheduled. IV'd. OUT. DONE. read more

I had all four wisdom teeth removed last year, and had a comfortable, easy experience thanks to Dr. Kim and staff. He will immediately gain your trust. He is one of those rare doctors that takes the time to listen to your questions, and never cuts you off. The facilities are modern and clean, and they go as far as giving you a flat screen featuring nature footage to relax you before the surgery. When I woke up, I felt like I had been in a boxing match, and was numb as hell. I immediately drank liquids when I got home, and slowly regained feeling in my mouth. After napping the rest of the day, I felt great. The next couple days, my discomfort was minimal. The hardest part of the whole thing was dealing with the extremely bitter taste that sticks in your mouth for the first day due to the numbing stuff they use. Just keep pounding juice and soup, and that nasty taste will eventually disappear. I highly recommend Dr. Kim for any dental surgery! read more

This review is long overdue. I had four wisdom teeth removed three weeks ago and I'm almost fully recovered. I am SO thankful for finding Dr. Kim's Office. THANK YOU YELP (and Dr. Kim and staff)! My journey for oral relief(lol) did not start at this practice. I was referred by my dentist to Dr. Joy Wang at Silicon Valley OMS and that was a NIGHTMARE. They tried all the shady sales tactics and tried to scare me into immediately removing all four wisdom teeth. In addition to this, their pano x-ray was so unclear they wanted me to pay $500 for a CT scan. I left with a sour taste in my mouth and decided to see what yelp had to say about this. A quick search later, I quickly scooted over to Dr. Kim's and immediately noticed a difference. I had maxed out my dental insurance for the year, so i really wanted to know my options. Only one of my wisdom teeth was bothering me so could i take one wisdom teeth out now and remove the rest three months later? Is this even a good idea? I just wanted to know my options. Dr. Kim was willing to take a moment to listen to my situation. We looked at the x-rays and concluded that i only really needed to remove the tooth that was bothering me for now. I could remove the rest in three months when my insurance had reset. Weighing costs and recovery time, i decided to remove all four. It was a quick relatively painless procedure. My jaw never swelled up or got infected and i certainly recommend Dr. Kim as an oral surgeon to everyone! The whole experience here was very professional and comforting? Dr. Kim even personally makes follow-up calls after the procedure to check up on his patients! Oh yeah! The staff in charge of finance (i forgot her name, sorry) also waived my pano x-ray fee here after hearing that i had already paid for a useless one at my previous consultation elsewhere! Very Very cool! read more

Thanks to the good reviews in Yelp, which led me to Dr. Kim's clinic. Last year I got one of my chronically inflamed tooth extracted and filled with bone craft mixed with grow factor from my own blood. Then I got an implant. Because of the good results, I did my second implant for another missing tooth this year. Both implants work very well and they feel like my own teeth. Dr. Kim and his team work in a highly efficient, relaxed and pleasant way. Dr. Kim is not only very skillful, but also very knowledgeable about new dental techniques. He not only focuses on teeth, but also considers patient's health as whole. He and his team take care of patients with very detailed nutrition advice, which sometimes plays an important role in patient's recovery after surgeries. I highly recommend Dr. Kim and his team! read more

I was referred to Dr. Kim by Dr. Jennifer Wu after it was determined that I had a blocked saliva gland on the inside of my lips. At first I thought that this was just a zit or one of those case where you accidentally bite your lip and then it swells up. I was hoping it was go away but after I realized it wouldn't, I went to get it checked out with Dr. Jennifer Wu. She referred me to Dr. Kim, who is an Oral Surgeon. He diagnosed it immediately, and pointed out in detail what needed to be done and what I should expect. This wasn't really something that I was looking forward to do, but Dr. Kim was extremely personably and made it a comfortable experience. His staff is upbeat and entertaining, as they all carry a good sense of humor and make an effort to make the patient feel at ease. By the way, the procedure went very well and was done sooner than I knew it! I would definitely recommend Dr. Kim to anyone looking for a expertly skilled and personably Oral Surgeon. 5-stars!!! read more

I was born missing two teeth from my lower mandible resulting in three large gaps and with another in between my top two midline teeth. It was a dream for the last twenty years or so for me to get my teeth nice and straight. I had to undergo orthodontic treatment in order to combine the lower gaps and make room for a permanent implant. Unfortunately, I did not have enough bone density for the circumference of the dental implant so had to undergo a bone graft first. I was referred to Dr. Kim's office from my dentist (Dr. Ho) and my orthodontist (Dr. Cohen) spoke highly of Dr. Kim also. I ended up seeing two other surgeons for price quotes in the Stanford area with my aunt's suggestion and they were quoting MUCH higher prices AND had offices that were not nearly as nice and professional as Dr. Kim's. In the end, Dr. Kim did my oral bone graft, wisdom tooth extract, and my dental implant. My teeth are on their way to looking great all thanks in part to Dr. Kim. He and his staff put the patients at ease and exercise a great amount of attention to detail to all. They've responded to my emails/calls with detailed answers, provided follow-up calls and appointments to ensure that the healing processes were coming along, and never insisted on any extraneous services. Plus, pricing is broken down and made understandable. I can't say enough good things about his office and practice. I highly recommend his office for your oral surgery needs. And if you have any questions, please feel free message me. read more

Who knew getting all four wisdom teeth extracted could be a painless procedure? And I don't mean relatively painless, I mean painless - period. I was referred to Dr. Kim by my regular dentist since it was clear the teeth needed to come out. I went in for the standard evaluation visit, and got to meet Dr. Kim and his totally-awesome-super-fantastic-groovy staff. Everyone was helpful and friendly, and it felt like I'd been a patient of theirs for 20 years. You will take a liking to Dr. Kim immediately; he's one of those doctors that you wish could mentor OTHER doctors on how to communicate with patients effectively. He will ask you about yourself and not in that obligatory way in which you feel like the dr. is just asking to make bs small talk. You genuinely feel like he cares...and you know what? He probably does. Had my procedure done last Thursday. We were talking about tae kwon do when I fell asleep. I woke up a couple minutes later (seemingly) and was worried that I wasn't given enough meds and that I woke up too early. Silly girl! I then realized I was now sitting up and Dr. Kim was telling someone on his staff that I was biting my lip. His voice was blurred since I was still groggy, but I thought he said "You did great!" What? How did you pull out my teeth in 2 minutes??? Oh......... It's been 4 days, and I can honestly say I didn't feel one iota of pain during/after my visit. Dr. Kim called me himself, the evening of my extraction to check in. Just a note to Dr. Kim: Your patients really appreciate you reaching out! But, I'm sure you already knew that :) His staff really makes the experience pleasant and unforgettable. Office and rooms are clean and well maintained, as you would expect. He's so good, I kinda wish I had more teeth for him to pull. Okay, that last part about my teeth was a lie, but he is That. Damn. Good. Five painless stars! ***Update 3.20.08**** I just left the office for my follow up. I mean I literally just left and am sitting in the parking lot typing this before I head back to the office. My regular dentist is so fantastic, yet I can't help but feel a bit sad that I won't be coming to see Dr. Kim anymore. At least not until my daughter needs oral surgery :) read more

I have all my four wisdom teeth removed by Dr. Kim. Nice experience. Recover very good.

I'm a tough grader, but I agree with recent reviewers that Dr. Kim sets a new standard of quality. I had an implant put in and he clearly communicated the process, executed flawlessly, followed up religiously, and was warm and accessible throughout. His office staff was also extremely professional and friendly, to a person, and I could tell worked seamlessly as a team ... Almost like a ballet in the operation ...and enjoy each other and the warm office environment. I truly can't find an issue and will certainly recommend Dr. Kim to my wife and others with future oral surgeon needs. read more

Really great experience overall. I got my all my wisdom teeth taken out, and I can safely say that I wouldn't go to anywhere else to get them taken out. It's not like I can have them taken out multiple times to experience for myself who's the best, but based off seeing my brothers wisdom teeth removal experience for example (from some other place), I can tell this place knows what they're doing. Not to mention Dr. Kim himself seemed like a really nice person right off the bat read more

"I'm lost (ok - I get lost in a shoe box), I'm scared, and I'm late. Let's just forget it and reschedule the appointment. Forget it!" I screamed into the phone. A calm voice responded, "it's ok, let's just get you here. It doesn't matter what time you show, we're happy to see you when you do." After staying on the phone with me for what seemed eternity I arrived at the office. It was one of the warmest welcomes I have ever received. The staff made it feel like I was the only patient Dr. Kim had. That day I met with Dr. Kim and scheduled my exxtraction date for the next day. The day of the extraction I was greeted the same way. They brought me in, made me laugh, and shared stories of the Philipines until I fell asleep. When I awoke, I was in a bit of pain and they explained everything to my ride and even walked me all the way to the car, putting me in the car and fastening my seat belt. This was all done by 1:00pm. By 6:00 that day I was completely awake and laughing. Whoever tells you getting your wisdom teeth pulled is exrutiating was not a patients of Dr. Kim's. read more

I was referred to Dr. Kim by my wonderful dentist Dr. Karen Ho (if she's not your dentist yet, she should be) to get two of my wisdom teeth out. During my initial consultation, I was struck by how personable his entire staff was and how caring of a doctor he was. Today (this morning, literally 8 hours ago), I had my surgery! Everything went really well. I was impressed by the staff, loved how smoothly everything went (including billing), and how they took the time to call in my prescription for me, explain care to me and my driver, and take me out to my car in a wheelchair. I was definitely terrified before my surgery, I had never been under general anesthesia before, and Dr. Kim and his staff were so wonderful and calming that I knew I was in great hands. Now I'm feeling pretty good (probably thanks to the pain meds I was given) and very glad that I had my wisdom teeth done by Dr. Kim! Update: I ended up getting the dreaded dry-socket after my surgery, and when I called Dr. Kim on a Sunday in tears, he was very supportive and I was in his office the next day getting treated. When I went out of town, they even gave me the materials I needed to take care of myself. Now, I'm all healed up! read more

It's now 1/24/11 and I had my final dental implant procedure done this morning. My husband thinks I'm crazy but I told him I'm actually going to miss going to Dr. Kim's office. He and his staff made the whole implant procedure a wonderful experience. When I went to my regular dentist this morning after seeing Dr. Kim, I thanked her profusely for recommending him and that she should definitely refer any of her other patients to him. If you are looking for an oral surgeon, look no further..Dr. Kim & his staff are awesome. read more

I found Dr. Kim on Yelp, and I was really surprised, actually to see so many positive reviews. I wondered if maybe it was too good to be true. But I add my testimony to all the others. Dr. Kim and his office are really outstanding. They make you feel completely comfortable about dental work that no one really likes to have done. What could be nicer than that? I had a tooth extracted, and the actual extraction took under 1 minute. Wow! Recovery - effortless. Not one bit of pain. Dr. Kim is GREAT about answering questions and making things clear. His staff is GREAT about making everyone feel very comfortable and taken care of. They deserve every one of these 5 stars. read more

My wisdom tooth was growing into the root of my molar and caused it to get infected. I could not eat on my right side as it was very painful. Well after a few days of this I went to my dentist and they referred me to Dr Kim's office. Dr Kim and staff were very professional, warm, and overall it was a good experience. I set up an appointment to have both my wisdom tooth and molar extracted. It was EZ-PZ! Unfortunately, now I have to go back and get my OTHER wisdom tooth and molar removed. I'm literally running out of teeth to chew with, but take it from me, I would not go back to an oral surgeon who I did not have a good experience with. If you want your surgery done professionally, cleanly and quickly, then you should check out Dr. Kim. read more

I would like to Thank everyone at this office because they took good care of my daughter and my nephew and today my father. Everyone here is very welcoming and treat you like gold from the beginning to the end! My father was in so much pain and we were just going in for a consolation and because he was in a lot of pain the doctor pulled his wisdom tooth out. We are so please with the service we got and I would highly recommend them. My daughter and my nephew had their wisdom teeth take out by Dr. Kim and the experience was also amazing and very easy to take care at home. They called numerous of times to check up on them and that was very nice. You will not regret going this doctor at all. read more

Was referred to Dr Kim to have a broken tooth removed and replaced with an artificial one. Scared to death to have this process done, Dr Kim assured me it would be relatively painless and my new tooth would be better than the existing ones. Long story short, everything he told me was true. He's a true pro that takes his profession and business very serious. He talks you thru everything he's doing and does a great job in calming my fears down. Front office folks were friendly and make you feel at ease when arriving for appts. Never thought i'd enjoy going to an Oral Surgeon so much. Thank you Dr Kim! read more

Anyone who has ever been terrified of dentists can rest assured that Dr Kim is terrific at his job. I had to have my wisdom teeth out and I am the sort of person who is just absolutely petrified at the mere thought of going to a dentist. Thank God for Dr Kim. He put me under to complete the procedure. However, Dr Kim is not a dentist but a dental surgeon so he doesn't do the 'menial' dentist tasks unfortunately -- otherwise I'd be going to him for everything. read more

I can't imagine anyone giving Dr. Kim less than 5 stars. He is an amazing oral surgeon and a hugely compassionate man. I have taken all 4 of my boys to him when they were teenagers to have their wisdom teeth removed. 1 of them had an issue with the tooth beside the wisdom tooth and so he removed that tooth and let the wisdom tooth fill in the space. They have had no problems after the removal. I had an implant inserted by Dr. Kim several years ago and at the time I felt extremely well educated about the process. Knowing what to expect, the risks, how long it would take before I would have a crown and how important it is to take care of it afterwards by having regular dental visits. Dr. Kim has an exceptional bedside manner. He is so caring and attentive to any concerns and is all about making one feel comfortable before, during and after surgery. read more

Dr. Kim is awesome !! As painless as there can be to a tooth extraction and bone graft. And I was awake and am not one for any type of pain. I kept waiting for him to say ... Ok ... I will be removing the tooth... and instead .. he was closing things up. I definitely would say ... If you need any work done... go see Dr. Kim ... you will be happy you did. read more

Dr Kim and his staff are the best. He squeezed me in last minute without an appointment. They really made me feel comfortable and are very informative in regards to explaining what my options were and the procedures being performed. His staff also followed up with me afterwards to make sure everything was going OK. I highly recommend Dr Kim and his Team. read more

I had an extremely poor experience with Dr. Kim. On two separate occasions he became overly emotional with me suggesting that I was doubting his practice for absolutely no reason at all. I became uncomfortable and pulled back during a procedure and he yelled at me. I found him totally unprofessional and would not recommend him. I paid a great deal of money for what Dr. Kim was meant to do and he refused to complete the work saying he and I were not a good match. read more

Amazing. Dr. Kim is a wizard! I had two upper wisdom teeth removed, and I think the whole thing took about 15 minutes. He has a great manner about him. He's a really cool guy, and I felt totally comfortable. In fact, the whole thing was actually quite pleasant. Yes, you read that right. Dr. Kim made getting wisdom teeth extracted PLEASANT. I wish I had more wisdom teeth for him to remove! During the procedure, I thought he was just getting warmed up, and I was surprised when he told me that he had already finished removing one of the teeth I need extracted! His assistant (also named Kim) was great too. Very helpful and calming. His front office staff is very nice as well. At the moment, my novacaine is starting to wear off, and I don't even feel that sore. To sum up, my experience was: Numb, pull, stitch, done. Dr. Kim rules!! read more

I like Dr.Kim and his team. Professional, pleasant, efficient, and well-organized. I had a surgery to remove my wisdom tooth recently. I felt a bit nervous before that, but after all, my overall experience there was great! I was comfortable during and after the surgery not feeling much pain thanks to them. I cannot thank Yelp enough which helped me find them! read more

It's officially day 4. I had 3 of my wisdom tooth extracted by Dr. Kim and needless to say, I am not on any meds. I feel great. Little pain. Little swelling. I'm so glad I looked him up on yelp because all the reviews are right. The staff is professional, pleasant and well organized. I was so nervous but he is so friendly. You schedule a consultation appointment first. Meet Dr. Kim and then he tells you what you need. Then the surgery day. No food. No drink for 8 hours. Fine. Waited 5 minutes for my name to be called. Led to the office. Sat down in the chair, met the staff - so nice. and in what felt like 3 minutes, I was awake and the surgery was done. There was some swelling day of but if you follow their instructions, icing and taking it easy, recovery is simple. Thumbs up to Dr. kim! read more
