The dr was very nice and explained everything really well! Good sense of humor too!
Dr Kim was wonderful! Very thorough and made the procedure easier for me.
He was very nice. Was straight forward which I like.
I feel that I cant even tell him that I have other teeth that are bothering me. And I might have other teeth problems. Its like an inconvenient for him. He doesnt seem to care about what is going on with my teeth. I feel like hes in a big rush to get out of the office and doesnt have time to listen .
Again, my family believes Dr Kim is top-notch. He is meticulous, you can see he cares about his patients, it takes the time to explain issues and does not leave any issue left, and if there is any question, he will check the problem or issue out, even if you have to have an x-ray. And he always gets to the crooks of the issue. We sure hope he never leaves. It is difficult to find a DENTIST of this caliber.
Dr Kim was thorough & explained things well.
