    The response from the Quack Dr. Kim. And it's a load of bull$hit.
    Tough-Critic O.

    This is a reply to Dr. Kim and his comments. Dr. Kim says he has paperwork and documents for the treatment I received. Yes, I am certain that he does but that still doesn't take care of the fact that he did botched dentistry on me. This dentist filed down good teeth and then placed crowns. But like I also mentioned he didn't do any root canals even on teeth that showed up on his X-rays showing that I indeed needed that procedure. I'm not a dentist or a an oral surgeon and trusted what this doctor said and did. That was a major mistake. Like I also mentioned I did return to this dentist when I began to notice problems. He at that time recommended an oral surgeon also on Cass Street. I ended up finding my own oral surgeon and dentist with a great reputation and wonderful office. As for this dentist I don't want anything else to do with him or his staff. I really believe wholeheartedly that he being Dr. Kim is solely about money and not about good dental care. One other very important fact is that I am having problems with the crowns and bridges Dr. Kim did for me. I have a lot of bleeding issues and discomfort. So I definitely will be seeing Dr. May or Dr. Stoddard.

    Clean..... Very good!

    Dr. Do is the best dentist I have ever gone to, and I have seen MANY dentists/dental specialists…read moredue to my complicated teeth history and moving around constantly as a military spouse. Dr. Do is hands down the best I've encountered. His bedside manner is exceptional, he is very kind, GENTLE and explains everything you need to know very clearly before and along the way. The office staff are also quite pleasant and friendly. One thing above all is this office is HONEST which I cannot say for most dentists /dental specialists that I have seen over the years and also in the Monterey area. I recommend him to anyone who asks and even people who don't ask. I can only hope to find a place like this at every duty station I move to. Thank you, Dr. Do, for showing me not all dentist visits have to be a terrible experience and that there are still truly honest and kind dentist out there who do phenomenal work!

    If I could give 10 stars, I would. First, the staff is incredibly efficient and kind. I get text…read morereminders about my appointments. I get "happy birthday" texts. There is no wait time. Sometimes, Doctor Do himself leads me back to the room. The whole office is calming. Second: The assistants are competent and knowledgeable. I get the feeling that with every task they perform, they know exactly what they are doing and they are kind and comforting. Third: Dr. Do has exactly the right touch. He is careful, considerate, and extremely skilled. He lays out every option if you need to make a decision. He does not impose his opinion, but guides you through all of any possible outcomes. I was so impressed when he wanted to do something with my teeth that the insurance wouldn't pay for-- he called me back in, convinced that he could make them change their minds with another set of XRays. He was right. He saved me a thousand dollars because he cared. His mannerism is gentle and compassionate. As you might tell, I can't recommend him highly enough. I actually like going to the dentist.

    This office has done a lot to alleviate my longstanding dental phobia. First of all, the lobby is…read moresuper soothing and spa-like, with a coastal vibe, and they have a bunch of choices of tea or Nespresso. When you get to the chair, they'll have sunglasses for you so the lights aren't in your face, and if you are having a long procedure, you can watch a video of your choosing. But more importantly, the dentists (I've seen Dr. Simonsen and Dr. Melhem both) are kind, gentle, and thorough. I had two crowns, my first ever, a few years ago, and I was VERY nervous, since I have had previous fillings and extractions with inadequate anesthesia. The office has a long and detailed questionnaire where you can identify your triggers and they offer you ways to ameliorate them. I started feeling the work partway through and Dr. Simonsen stopped to re-numb me, instead of carrying on like dentists I've had in the past. They also offered breaks, and got me a ball from the prize chest to squeeze so I wouldn't maul my palms. The hygienists, Alison and Lisa, are also both great. Friendly, gentle, and detail oriented. They'll get you sparkling clean without making your mouth sore. I actually don't dread going for a cleaning!

    Such a wonderful and warm experience from start to finish. I felt so comfortable, in an often…read morenervous and awkward experience, to explain my previous dental work and to also being open to the work needing to be done.
