Who wants a root canal? NO ONE!! However if it's a must then I would highly recommend Dr Kim and his friendly and professional staff, I was going to Dr Kim for a 2nd opnion sooooo glad I did, extremely professional, very informative and I have set up my appt for my root canal procedure read more

They got me in same day for a root canal. Most painless procedure I've ever had. Even the numbing shot was pain free. The office staff was knowledgeable and walked me through the procedure and post-op read more

The doctors are wonderful , however , the receptionist is rude and does not answer questions thoroughly . She's very robotic and argumentative. She tries to get off the phone quick before a complete understanding is made resulting in mis communication and errors. read more

I was in town for a vacation, and had to see an endodontist urgently. I had intense pain that started over the weekend due to a delayed root canal that had to be done. I searched all over yelp and came across Dr.Kim. He took me in the same day and finished up the whole procedure the next morning. The whole procedure was painless, and he did such a great job. I went to sleep that night pain free. He went above and beyond, even stayed after hours to take care of me. Thank you so much to Dr.Kim and his staff read more

Dr. Kim and his staff did such a fantastic job, they're organized, proactive, and the whole experience was perfect for me. I absolutely recommend them to anyone. While dental work isn't always cheap even with insurance, I left feeling like what I paid was more then fair, and the quality of work was top notch. Overall I give them a strong 5 out of 5! read more

They got me in on almost zero notice. My procedure ended up dragging their day until 7pm (not of their fault, my tooth was a pain in the ass). Professional from start to finish, and quite reasonable on cost as compared to the local competition (cash patient here). read more

Went in for a root canal on the 1st and was so glad to have chosen him. He was super understanding about my anxiety with dental work and let me take quick breaks to breath and calm down. And he was able to do everything during the one visit. I didn't even have to come back for a second appointment. He had options for anxiety and stuff but I didn't take them, mainly because I personally like to be in control of myself during moments like that. But I liked that he had options for people who have anxiety in dental situations. He also had a tv on the ceiling and I was able to finally focus on the TV once I was calm and was able to make it through the appointment perfectly fine. Highly recommend you go to his office for any dental work you need! He's excellent! Also his office was very well managed with covid going on. Felt totally safe there! read more

I needed 3 root canals over this last year and Dr. Kim did all of them. If you need a root canal, this is the place to go. He and his staff are very friendly and Dr. Kim will patiently answer all of your questions. I would HIGHLY recommend Dr. Kim. He's a perfectionist and that's what you want for a root canal. I have only positive things to say about this office. read more

I highly recommend Dr. Kim. I had a root canal done there a year ago. I have been through many dental procedures and I would say Dr. Kim is one of the most thorough. I had a very difficult tooth root and he had me come back three times to make sure it was done correctly. They just called me back for a one year check. They took X-rays of the tooth and the Dr. did an exam - all at no extra charge. That is amazing. The staff are wonderful as well. They are friendly and truly care about your comfort. Of course nobody wants to have a root canal but when you need one, you want a doctor you can trust-go to North San Diego Endodontics. The tv in the ceiling is a great distraction! read more

I needed a root canal and the endodontist that comes into my regular Dentists office only comes on Mondays. The Pain was so severe that I simply could not wait so they recommended me to Dr. Kim. I read his reviews and decided it would be a good choice. I called and he was able to see me the same day. I went into the office and it was clean, the staff was friendly and I was seen quickly. Once Dr. Kim had established the tooth that needed the root canal he got started. I was impressed by the upgraded technology they had at the office. Root canals can be long and at Dr. Kim's office, they had a TV on the ceiling and they give you headphones so you don't have to listen to constant drilling. I am also unbelievably surprised with how my root canal feels today. I had it done on March 26th, it is now March 30th and I feel absolutely no pain. I felt pain for the first two days and now it has subsided. I have had two other root canals and the pain usually last for a week if not two. I am extremely happy with my results. Dr. Kim even worked late to accommodate me so that I didn't need a second appointment (I get married in 19 days) which shows his commitment. I was extremely grateful. I would recommend Dr. Kim to any of my friends or family. He is a perfectionist which is always appreciated in the field of endodontics. read more

I had to give this office a 5 Star review because they really came through for me when I was in a lot pain. I needed a root canal ASAP and my regular dentist referred me to doctor Kim. Dr. Kim agreed to see me the day of calling and even stayed late to do my procedure. The entire staff in this office is so professional, friendly, and attentive. The front office called me the day after my procedure just to check in. I can't express how grateful I am to Dr. Kim and his team. I felt completely cared for and my painful tooth is now on the mend. THANK YOU! read more

I had to find a dentist when I was visiting San Diego over the weekend and went to North San Diego Endodontics. I'm so thankful I found Dr Kim. Dr Kim was very thorough and my pain was all cured. He explained everything really well making sure that I understood what caused my pain and what treatment was done for it. When I was sitting on the treatment seat the screen showed me X-rays of my teeth and that helped me understand what happened to my teeth. Also he explained how I can maintain my oral health long term as well. The TVs on the ceilings were clever and considerate for patients! read more

I was recommended to Dr. Kim from my regular dentist for a retreatment of an old root canal. Although Dr. Kim couldn't fix my tooth in the end, he did everything he could to try and help save the tooth. He even treated it a second time to give it a try. His staff is very nice and helpful. The TV's in the ceilings are a nice touch. And being a photographer, I love all the Ansel Adams prints and photography books in the waiting room! read more

Dr. Kim and his team are amazing. They were so accommodating. They found a perfect appointment time for me. And was so patient with me. I have had some horrible experiences with root canals. But at North San Diego, I literally felt like I was cruising. They I asked them for nitrous and they let me watch HGTV (I had headphones on, which really helped). Seriously have never left a dentist office so stoaked. I think they cured me of the fear of the dentist. read more

Ki Wan Kim DDS, MSD and staff are caring and wonderful professionals. I have been a patient for the last couple of years and have always had excellent service and careful consideration for my medical needs. I highly recommend Dr. Ki Wan Kim as your Endodontist. read more

Dr. Kim and his staff were very professional. He definitely has the tools and skills to perform a fantastic job. I can say beyond a doubt, if I need this procedure again in the future I will definitely be back. read more

Dr Kim and his staff made me feel comfortable from start to finish. He was very thorough with his work, and I was eased throughout the root canal. I hope I won't need another root canal, but if I do, I'll go to Dr Kim. Definitely liked having the tvs in the ceilings to keep a nervous patient distracted. Thank you! read more

Dr. Kim is by far the most thorough and knowledgable dentist I have ever encountered. I have seen many dentists for the many root canal procedures and cavities that I have endured and Dr. Kim is by far the most caring dentist and always goes above and beyond. He has performed 2 root canals on me and has always been professional, friendly, and attentive. He never makes you feel like he is in a rush and explains everything simply. He is so great that he was willing to work pass closing time to make sure my root canal was finished perfectly. I am also so impressed with how he make sure to follow up after the procedure which is so rare. He is one of the few doctors who really care about his patients. I would highly recommend anyone to Dr. Kim as he is the most genuine Endodontist. Plus the TVs in the ceilings is a nice touch. read more

As you can see by the reviews, this practice - Dr. Kim & staff are fantastic!!! He went above and beyond to make sure my root canal was performed meticulously and I was comfortable as can be during the procedure. He's friendly and thorough, answers any questions you may have. I hope I never need another root canal, but he will be the only one I see!!! read more

I went to see Dr. Kim yesterday for an intermittent and sometimes severe pain in my lower jaw convinced I would need a root canal. Dr. Kim performed some basic tests and sent me back not convinced that I needed a root canal. He filed my teeth down and suggested I invest in a mouth guard and follow up in two weeks. Very professional office staff and overall great experience (not having a root canal helps!). read more

Dr. Kim and the staff at North San Diego Endodontics did a fantastic job on my root canal. I am a nervous patient, but my experience there was comfortable and as easy as could be. Everything was explained to me. I knew I was getting the best care possible. Dr. Kim is very thorough and makes sure everything is done right. The x-ray equipment and microscope viewer are better than I've seen in other offices. After getting my crown at my usual dentist, I had some discomfort with my tooth, so I went back to Dr. Kim to check if the tooth was ok. He did x-rays and assured me it was a bite issue. He adjusted the bite and meticulously checked it several times. Today I am pain free and can chew and enjoy hot coffee again. I would recommend Dr. Kim to everyone. read more

This place is simply amazing! Astrid is an amazing assistant. I suffer from anxiety especially when it comes to dentist visits. Astrid sensed my anxiety and immediately started to make me feel comfortable. She made sure I was calm and relaxed. Not only is there a tv on the ceiling along with headphones but I was wrapped up in the most comfortable blanket. Dr. Kim and Astrid were both very patient with me and made me feel so cared for. Dr. Kim's work is awesome, I felt zero pain! Definitely would recommend this place! Thank you Dr. Kim and Astrid for everything! read more

The staff here is amazing and make sure you are comfortable. I went to Dr. Kim after I had to get my root canal re-done. Dr kim was very profesional and he explained to me what he would be doing.He also had my xrays right in front of me so I could see what was going on.The day of the procedure he kept asking if I was ok he made sure I was very comfortable. It honestly seems he really does care about his patients.They offer laughing gas and they also have tvs on the ceiling so you can watch tv while you are getting your procedure done. Im honestly really glad I found Dr Kim. read more

I highly recommend Dr. Ki Wan Kim. He was extremely honest (I thought I needed a root canal and was pleasantly surprised when he was able to just work on my bite - sent me back to regular dentist to have bite guard made). Office staff was excellent and I was taken back exactly at my appt time! If and when I need a route canal I would definitely go to Dr. Kim. read more

My name is Amber McGrath and In was told by my primary dentist that I need a root canal. So I was referred to Dr. Ki Wan Kim and WOW what an experience! This Dr will start a root canal on you and then after the first session make an appointment for you to return in 6 weeks to complete the root canal. This Dr KiWan Kin Of North San Diego Endodontics never told me that there was going to be a 6 week layover from the first appointment before working on my tooth. Tooth just left with a tep filling that I'm sure didn't last a week, I have a business that requires me to be in Asia for some of my time and was forced to wait to get back to America so this root canal could be completed. WHAT A BURDEN! With'in the past few years I had a CAD CAM crown on this same #14 tooth and as Dr KI Wan Kim was working on my tooth I noticed that he was Prying on my tooth after the root canal was completed. Strongly against my front Incisors teeth. I jumped and started yelling WHY ARE you placing pressure on my other teeth and pry on my #14 all along as his assistant was giggling and laughing about the pain I was having to deal with. After I QUESTIONED THIS Dr Ki Wan Kim he told me he was sorry. From there this Dr shows me a X-ray of the tooth hes been working on and after his root canal hes cracked that crown. Now he claims that i have to go back to my primary dentist to have the same crown redone and all along people in Dr. Ki Wan Kim offices are just laughing as if they just won the Lotto! read more

I would highly recommend Dr. Kim. I choose him because of the other yelp reviews. I, too, thought I needed a root canal--after seeing my dentist. After the xrays and other tests, he determined I didn't need one. He wanted to see me again, free of charge, a couple weeks later to make sure. read more

A root canal is never a pleasant encounter, but you can be sure of excellent care through Dr. Kim and his staff. They were immensely helpful in explaining my situation and answered any questions I had as the process went on. Just don't laugh too hard during a procedure when you're watching Comedy Central through their ceiling TV and headphones. read more
