    Dr Brian J Kim's office 2nd floor
    Jesseney J.

    Dr Kim , Sandra and the one who took my X-ray were amazingly amazing! They were so understanding of my situation and they reviewed my teeth as a second opinion. Dr Kim explained well what he thinks I need to do to finish up my treatment. He measured my teeth. Sandra also made me feel comfortable and entertained me with my questions. I loved her personality. Dr Kim is also going out of his way to write notes and sending X-rays to my orthodontist. I loved the office and I wish I would have came her to start my treatment. I was anxious at first but they treated me with respect and kindness. I would definitely recommend my family members to come here! Thank you Dr. Kim! :)

    2.5 years later, I'M DONE! I can't believe my smile looks this good. Up until the very, very end, my treatment was so carefully and meticulously taken care of by Dr. Kim. His detail oriented nature was just what I needed to know he would finish my smile strong. The office and its staff always had a great energy as they were genuinely welcoming at all times. My mom is nearing the end of her Invisalign treatment at almost 60 years old, and I have a family friend who has started treatment with his traditional metal braces at 9 years old. Both love the office and Dr. Kim. I've since referred lots more people to Dr. Kim (a handful of whom have started), and they all love treatment with him! Thank you, Dr. Kim & Staff!

    My daughter's smile (overbite) has improved drastically within the first 3 months of starting treatment. Dr Kim is kind, patient and knows his stuff! The staff is welcoming, and super kind to my daughter and all their patients. They are so invested in their patients that my daughter even received a post card from a Dental Assistant to follow-up on a conversation they had during Christmas. Love this place!!!

I understand what she was saying but she doesn't need to say it loud for the customers to hear.

My daughter got traditional metal braces here, and the pricing was very reasonable compared to other places I looked into. She's down to her final appointment in November before getting them removed, and I can't wait to see her new and improved smile. The orthodontist has been great throughout the whole process always answering our questions and making sure my daughter understood what was happening at each stage of her treatment. The receptionists are also super helpful and always worked around my daughter's schedule, which made things a lot less stressful. The only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 is because of the constant phone calls. They literally called me about 10 times a week to remind me about payments and appointments. And it wasn't an automated system it was an actual live person every single time. It just got to be a bit much. Other than that, I can't complain. Great service, friendly staff, affordable prices, and soon my daughter will have a smile she's proud of.

During the appointment, the dental assistant spoke to my children in a raised and condescending tone and was rough while performing a scan, which left my daughter visibly uncomfortable. When I asked that she please be gentle, the interaction became tense and the assistant's focus shifted to repeatedly warning us about a $50 fee next time a bracket comes off, even though the bracket had come off while my daughter was flossing and she was already avoiding restricted foods due to tenderness. I was also uncomfortable with some hygiene practices during the visit, as the assistant's hair repeatedly touched my children's faces and the scanner sleeve was removed before being placed in my child's mouth. In my experience, pediatric dental visits should involve patience, calm communication, and reassurance for children. I have shared these concerns directly with the office and hope they review the situation so families continue to receive the level of care we experienced in the past.

Apparently, the staff enjoys their weekend, so 8:00 doesn't exist for them. I needed a lot of expensive work done. I paid 50% (I offered) and was told the balance would be due after the work was completed. When I showed up on time for my next appointment, I was told the balance was due before any more work would be done. It was in the computer, you see. I respectfully argued about that not being our understanding and spoke with a manager. He agreed to allow me to pay after completion of the work. I paid 50% of my balance anyway, as a gesture of good faith. Today, I was asked again for the balance. I refused. I had to wait to be called in because the staff hadn't arrived yet. There were numerous scheduling snaffus. I've been inconvenienced so many times by the people who work here, I'll be looking for a new dentist. I'm committed financially to this place at the present time, but won't be making any more appointments. Not the best experience, find another place.

During my initial visit in November 2025, I was told I only needed a deep cleaning and they suggested the Perio Treatment costing $1600. However, at a follow-up visit in April, I was presented with a treatment plan exceeding $10,000, despite having no pain or noticeable symptoms. They convinced me to do the Perio paid $1200 in March for it and now the Gum Specialist says I should stop that and do the 8$k procedure first. Lol! Like do you guys even communicate???? This significant change in recommended treatment was not clearly explained to me in a way that made sense, which left me feeling confused and concerned about the necessity and urgency of the proposed procedures. I also felt that my questions were not fully addressed, and I did not feel confident in the consistency of the diagnosis. I also had appts at a specific time and they saw me almost 1 hour later etc! The cost of treatment also felt unexpectedly high compared to what was initially discussed. Because of these concerns, I will be seeking a second opinion and continuing care elsewhere.
