Dr. Kim is what I would Consider to be a perfect doctor. A doctor who shows up with the deepest compassion, Intelligence, experience, and confident execution. As well as being surrounded by a team of empathetic, experienced and delightful human beings. I had an emergency from some faulty work that needed to be addressed before I could start radiation therapy for a recently diagnosed cancer. Dr. Kim made time in his schedule to assess and to my surprise immediately remedy the issue. He is quite literally a Godsend. I am ever grateful for Dr. Kim and his team! read more

After years of undiagnosed illnesses, my teeth had begun fading away. Vagus nerve damage, rumination disorder, and a slew of gastro issues were destroying my teeth. Now that I've gotten myself out of those woods, I've gone to Dr. Kim's office to see if he could restore what I'd lost (which besides my physical teeth also includes losing my all around confidence, worth and ability to laugh freely.) Dr. Kim basically took one look at me and said "game on". He and his team talked with me at length about the options I had and which would be the best long term. They never once pushed anything on me, just had genuine opinions and thoughts as to how to make this happen. From the women up at the front desk to his entire team in the back, Dr. Kim's office made me feel so comforted and hopeful. They are all so insanely kind, supportive and love what they do. When all was said and done and I walked out of the room with my new set of teeth, I could feel the love in the entire office. Not only did I feel like a million bucks, but to know that Dr. Kim and his team all actually give a hoot about their patients had me over the moon. They are A1!!!!! This is the place you go to when you want someone to care for you as they would their own family. I can smile as wide, big, silly and crazy as I want now and I'll never take that for granted again. Dr Kim and his team are the best of the best and I couldn't recommend them more!!! read more

I am no longer afraid of the dentist! My friend had recommended me to Dr Ricci, who was great. I had only been coming for about a year when he decided to retire. I was so bummed. I have had bad experiences with dentists, so I was disappointed when I needed to start over with someone new. But Dr Kim has taken over and he's AMAZING!! I've had to have a cavity filled and a crown and not only was it done with excellence and precision , it was painless and he kept me relaxed throughout the process walking me through every bit of it. I'm so grateful I found a dentist I trust completely. I highly recommend! read more

Dr. Kim is AMAZING! He is calm, kind, funny, very personable and a fantastic dentist! I HATE dental work, but Dr. Kim took the time to talk to me for a few minutes to alleviate any anxiety I was having before we got started on my filling. He kept telling me to breath in and out slowly, through my nose, in a calm voice while numbing me up so I wouldn't hyperventilate. I was super happy with how smooth and quick the procedure went. There are a lot of new faces in the faces and everyone has been super friendly. I am very happy that Trish is still there...she is the BEST hygienist I have every had! Super gentle, very kind and sweet! It was also nice to see a couple of male dental assistants in the office. That is not something I have ever seen. Vaughn assisted Dr. Kim with my filling and he was very professional, yet personable and funny too! I am very happy that Dr. Ricci chose Dr. Kim to carry on with his practice! read more

I don't write reviews. But this time I am. Dr. Ricci was an incredible dentist. He is retiring. However, Dr. Kim, who is replacing him, is outstanding. He is thorough, prompt, experienced, and fantastic bedside manner. Highly recommend! 5 stars! read more

Did a horrible job with replacing my old veneers ( by a now retired Dentist I went to) All the veneers Ricci replaced broke and cracked beginning from the day he "finished" all the work. Emotional trauma and thousands $$$$ to have another dentist fix what Ricci did. read more

I wanted to write an update since seeing the new dentist, Dr. Steven Kim, for my check-up and then a special procedure to remove old sealant. While I'll miss Dr. Ricci after he retires, Dr. Kim is a worthy replacement! He's professional but also very personable (and funny!), and really put me at ease at my procedure. Very happy this practice will continue to be in good hands! read more

This is by far the best experience I've had with a dentist's office in Los Angeles. Dr. Kim was very kind and gave thorough explanations of the work I was getting done, and took great care of me. The office staff is super friendly and efficient, and the scheduling was very easy. Just awesome all the way around! read more

Dr Kim is great! For the first time in my life I look forward to going to the dentist. I've been going to Dr Ricci for a couple years and he is amazing, I have had nothing but great experiences. Now having him and Dr Kim takes it up to another level. Dr Kim is kind and patient and very knowledgeable, and takes the time to talk about what he's doing in a way you can easily understand. And I'm not sure how but he gave me a numbing shot in the gum and barely feel a thing when he does it, so if you have a fear of needles give Dr. Kim a try! Dr Ricci and Dr Kim both are amazing so you can't go wrong here. And the receptionists and hygienists are all very kind and great people. All around 10/10 read more

I've been going to Dr. Ricci for years and he's amazing! I recently had Dr. Kim work on my teeth and he was great too. Funny and knowledgeable! The staff is friendly and personable. I trust this practice with my teeth 100%b! read more

I first met Dr. Kim when my wife was having her wisdom teeth removed and was absolutely amazed at his professionalism and ability to walk patients through the process and keep them calm and comfortable. I was delighted to hear that he would be working on my teeth today and everything went wonderful. Super-nice person and the staff is amazing. Can't recommend enough. read more

Dr Kim took over the practice. He was gentle and wonderful. I am an anxious dental patient and he was gentle and reassuring. Definitely recommend him! Very personable. read more

I've always been a fan of Dr. Ricci. But now that he's retired a new dentist, Dr. Kim, has taken over in his place and he's fantastic. So personable and warm. Extremely competent. Always happy and willing to talk you through whatever it is he's working on. I'm dealing with an orthodontist as well and needed to have a last minute bonding on my front tooth done right away before my orthodontist appointment. Not only did Dr. Kim see me the very next day, he did a phenomenal job on the bonding and made sure I was happy with it before I left. Can't recommend him enough! read more

I've been going to Dr. Ricci for a few years and I was worried when I heard he's reducing his hours as he approaches retirement. I'm happy to say that I've now had two appointments with Dr. Steven Kim, the new guy in the office, and he's great. Attentive, knowledgeable, friendly, and very good at what he does, I've found my dentist for the foreseeable future. I highly recommend him, you won't be disappointed. read more

I've been with this office for over 25 years starting with Dr. Kellen who was close to retirement sharing his office with Dr. Ricci who took over after his retirement. Dr. Ricci, who's been fantastic since, is now sharing his office with Dr. Kim as he nears retirement. My recent visit with Dr. Kim showed he's carrying on the tradition of excellent care, skilled and attentive. I trust Dr. Ricci's choice and am happy to continue here! I highly recommend the office to anyone looking for someone in the area. read more

Dr. Ricci and his staff are really fantastic. There's nothing I would have changed about my (two) experiences so far. Everyone is very welcoming and great at articulating their dental talk into answers to my questions. The doctor is gentle, straightforward, and did some great fillings (oops) read more

Dr Kim is a wonderful addition to the team and he seems to fit in perfectly with the caring practice that Dr Ricci has set up! I had pain in a molar, it turned out I needed a crown, and it was all taken care of professionally, quickly and with surprisingly little discomfort. I felt confidence in Dr Kim the whole time. My whole family (including my adult children) go to Dr Ricci's practice and I am going to let them know they will be in good hands if they get Dr Kim. Plus, it's nice that Fridays are an option now! read more

Dr Ricci and his team are the best. I've had 5 dentists at this point in my life. Dr Ricci is probably my favorite. The team is really friendly. They don't tend to overbook the day like other Dr's offices, so you aren't sitting in a crowded waiting room. In fact I've rarely waited more than a couple minutes. As far as comfort goes, one of the more attentive and considerate dentists. If you have a fear of dentists, go try Dr Ricci. I think you will find your new favorite dentist. read more

Impressed with their comprehensive dental technology to diagnose and implement treatment along with a professional and very kind dentist and staff read more

Dr. Ricci is kind, gentle and has patience with anxious patients. Trish cleans my teeth and is always in a friendly mood with a keen sense of when to take breaks during cleaning. Very patient with my anxiety. read more

I got referred from another office and I went in hoping to get an appointment the same day. Unfortunately they were overly booked so I had an appointment the next day. I was very nervous but everyone was helpful. I honestly just wanted my tooth extracted, Dr. Ricci explains thoroughly about the procedure I needed done. I thought I was going to come back again and wait to get a root canal but he surprised me with saying he can do the root canal right away. I did not feel a thing and I am very satisfied with his work. He takes pride in patient care. I got a call from him to make sure I was feeling well. His office staff were professional and friendly. I would highly recommend them to anyone that needs a root canal read more

Dr. Ricci is one of the best dentists around. I was referred to him and was not disappointed. I first met him under extreme dental distress, and he not only squeezed me into his packed schedule, he continued to follow up afterward. I continued to see him routinely, and he never made me feel rushed and always answered my questions. If I ever move back to the area, I will happily return to him. Dr. Ricci, and his team, are wonderful! read more

Wonderful caring Dr .. Easy going , cutting edge. And all his staff are great and kind .

Dr Ricci is a very good dentist I live now in Palm Springs which makes it a challenge but the practice is run smoothly I've spent over $30,000 there over twenty years read more

Dr. Ricci was well referred by another oral surgeon, especially due to extensive work done over many years. I'm very haPPY TO BE HISN PATIENT. read more

after another Burbank dentist tried to (excuse my french) screw me over by telling me I had 7 cavities I had dr ricci give me a second opinion. and BOY was i ever glad i did. dr ricci quickly told me i did not have 7 cavities, in fact I did not have any! He did give me 2 crowns on previous root canals and i had my teeth cleaned and off i went. that was 3 years ago and miraculously those 7 cavities that never got filled have not bothered me at all. Thanks dr ricci for saving me from this scam artist calling himself a dentist! read more

When I first went to Dr. Ricci, my mouth hadn't seen a dentist in eleven years. I knew nothing about serious dental hygiene. I was a challenge, to say the least. I am so glad my friend at work recommended him. He is bright, he is personable, and his staff is STELLAR! I have learned how to better care for my teeth and gums and actually look forward to my visits. You will not find a better dentist or staff. I just love them. Now, how many people can say that about their dentist? read more

Finding a good dentist is a really hard thing to do. Doctor Ricci is the first good dentist I've had in a very long time. I'm not one of those people that hates going to the dentist, its something that just has to get done, so I've never thought about being comfortable at the dentist office. This place was so comfortable. I had coffee while I waited for the dentist, the chairs were comfortable, you can watch TV on a mounted LCD while they clean your teeth. The best part was the cleaning. Every few minutes they would stop cleaning my teeth and ask if it hurt, then they would put a gel on my teeth to numb them. It was great. I never want to think about finding another dentist. read more

What can I say about a dentist who I've been going to for well over 20 years! Not only is Dr, Ricci on top of all the latest technology advances, but he and his whole staff (hey Sharon) are some of the nicest and helpful group of people you will ever have the pleasure to deal with... Two very big thumbs up! read more

I think I promised to write this review a year ago, but forgot to confirm my yelp account via email so it just posted now. I love Dr. Ricci, below is why! Before going to Dr. Ricci I was somewhat nervous about going to the dentist. I wasn't really interested in shopping for a dentist through trail and error. I ended up having some slight pain and decided to ask around until someone "Highly" recommended Dr. Ricci to me. He was very comfortable to be around, he didn't have any pushy vibes and I just got an overall good impression personally and from him as a doctor. I had some fillings done and didn't feel any pain or have any scars in my gums. Not only that, but the staff is awesome! Everyone was so friendly and warm. I actually ended up forgetting my wallet by accident and didn't have enough gas in my car to get home and one of the attendants, Sharon, loaned me $10 and told me just to return in when I came back to get another filling the next week. It's refreshing seeing a business that cares about their customers on a level more than just wanting your business. I HIGHLY recommend this office :-). read more

I have been to see Dr Ricci and his team for cleanings and one filling several times this year after moving to Los Angeles, and have had nothing but a great experience each time. I was very nervous the first time I went but his staff is great at making you feel at ease and comfortable, even for very minor procedures. Yesterday I had to bring my daughter with me and they rewarded her with TV, toys, and attention. Definitely the sign of a great dentist and great staff. Thank you. Five stars for their professionalism, quality of work, friendliness and service. read more

I'm really pleased to be a patient of Dr Ricci's. I started coming here because the office uses the latest technology in dental care, and the technicians are constantly learning how to perfect their work. Every single person that works here is incredibly friendly. Their customer service is unlike most businesses I know, as they really make a point of making you feel welcome and comfortable. Let me just add that I'm a big baby when it comes to having my teeth worked on, but I feel like I'm in very good hands here. I highly recommend this dental office! read more

Not only does Dr. Ricci have an amazing staff, he's also a great dentist - very gentle, understanding, considerate, attentive and skilled. I'm lucky he's my dentist and do not ever plan to switch. And he doesn't rush you and won't recommend doing something unless it's needed. I've had bad dental experiences at other places and feel blessed and very reassured knowing Dr. Ricci is there when I need him for fillings or some other dental work. read more

I love Dr. Ricci and his staff! Me and my family have been going to him for years. He has all the latest equipment, is friendly, and a very talented dentist. read more

I have been seeing Dr. Ricci for many years. He is excellent at caring for his patient. I am a very nervous patient and he takes his time with me. Makes certain, I don't feel any pain and am comfortable. He will go out of his way to accommodate me. He and his staff are just fantastic. You'll be happy. read more

I love Dr. Ricci and everyone there...they are the best. I happened upon them after one mishap too many from Dr. Albus across the hallway...I walked out and went into their office and they won me over. Dr. Ricci even came in on a Sunday for me when I needed immediate attention...he's the best! read more

Dr. Ricci and his staff are wonderful. One of the best dentists I've ever had, I plan on going to see him as long as I still have teeth in my head. The front desk staff are really great and the assistants are friendly and very thorough with their cleanings. Can't recommend them enough! read more

I have been a patient of Dr Ricci for over 10 years. Came in with an emergency. Doctor Ricci fixed it immediately. Great service. Latest technology. Wonderful staff. Highest recommendation. read more

Dr. Ricci is a great dentist. He has the newest technology and is thorough with his work. He and his staff go to conferences together to ensure they are up to date with training and knowledge which is always comforting. Also, he is a pretty amusing guy to converse with. :) The hygienists are pretty nice. They always say hello and remember your name. They also try to accommodate you as much as they possibly can. The only drawbacks are the hours of operation and prices. They are only open Mon-Thurs from 7-3:30 which forces you to take some time off of work to get work done, and his prices are a bit steep. However, his office accepts most PPOs to help curb the costs... BUT he is worth it. (PS- I was scared of dentists for a very long time and didn't go for 5 years. He helped me get back in the business of taking care of my teeth!) read more
