It took us a while to write this because we don't leave many reviews--but this practice absolutely deserves five stars. Kim Orthodontics strikes a rare balance between advanced technology and genuine, high-touch care, making the whole orthodontic experience efficient--and, dare I say, even enjoyable. The usual frustrations you might expect with medical offices--long waits, mysterious surprise charges, parking hassles, or difficulty scheduling--just aren't an issue here. The self-service scanning technology eliminated the need for frequent visits, as everything was handled online. Communication via their app and text was excellent. The staff is top-notch and the office clean, modern, and sleek. Our son needed his teeth straightened, and Dr. Kim and the entire team did an outstanding job. His treatment recently wrapped up, and we couldn't be more pleased with the results. Even better, since not all of his wisdom teeth have come in yet (though there's room for them), they've arranged for thoughtful post-treatment follow-up. In short, we highly recommend Kim Orthodontics. read more

Small businesses helping each other out in Honolulu, Hawaii... Thank you to Kim Orthodontics for the generous gift card for Island Soul Shave Ice... a Hot New small business in Kalihi, Honolulu, Hawaii! Irene M. and I both won gift cards via an Instagram Contest. We were asked to come to the office at the Ala Moana Building to pick up the cards. We parked for free at Ala Moana Center, went up the elevator, and found the office! Gosh... they have a terrific view of Honolulu! Patients get to sit in comfy recliners and look at the spectacular sight! Whoa! The staff are super cheerful and sweet! I'd like to be a patient here! It's so clean and bright! Thank you so much, Dr. Kim, for supporting a local, family business! That's so kind of you! read more

I love Kim Orthodontics ! They were very kind and thorough with the aligning process and was very transparent on what to expect . After my first fitting appointment, I was given cup noodles as my teeth may be sensitive after Dr. Kim is also so kind ! I had the pleasure of having Nicole during my consultation PLUS first fitting appointment and she was great ! So sweet and professional at the same time . I can't wait to see my results ! read more

My teeth weren't the worst but I had minor crowding at the lower & an overbite at the upper. When I would smile without showing teeth, my top right tooth would pop out just a tiny bit & I would notice it in photos that people took of me. I hated it! I honestly would have probably never thought of fixing it if it weren't for that insecurity but after a long 1.5 year journey, I'm really glad I did it. The price is hefty but with the amount of attention to detail & REALLY friendly & nice staff... it was well worth the price tag. Dr. Is amazing & always so happy to see everyone. Has immaculate attention to detail. My teeth looks amazing & I naturally have slightly uneven jaws that he kind of camouflaged along this journey! Thank you so much! I highly recommend anyone who is afraid to trust anyone with their teeth or don't know anywhere else, here. Truly the best of the best! 10/10 I would go here again if I need to but I hope not it was a long process. read more

I have never written a review before but I have to now! If I could give more stars I would! Every single person in Dr. Kim's office is so kind, genuine, warm and makes the whole experience so positive and encouraging. Everyone goes above and beyond to give the best possible service. I have never had a more positive experience at any doctor, dentist, etc. If you are thinking about Invisalign this is the place to go! I'm so thankful that I found Dr. Kim and this amazing crew of wonderful people! Thank you everyone for being so amazing!!!!! read more

Growing up I had very messed up teeth, and I was lacking self confidence with my smile. I never wanted to smile or be in any photos. But until I found Dr. Kim, he's able to give me the confidence I always lacked. My teeth is now perfect and beautiful because of Dr.Kim! Dr. Kim's office is very welcoming and friendly. You'll always be greeting with a nice welcoming smile from their front staff. Everyone is very helpful and very professional. My overall experience was very easy, and painless. I highly recommend Dr.Kim because he takes his time with you, and explains to you every little detail about your treatment plan. He's very focused on each of his patients and makes sure you're on the right track. Many of my friends also see Dr. Kim and all of their results were amazing! I love my experience and would highly recommend it to everyone! read more

I highly recommend Kim Orthodontics if you're considering Invisalign. I was surprised at how quickly I started seeing results. It kept me motivated throughout the treatment! Dr.Kim and his staff are incredibly kind and are always available to support you throughout the process. I'm so thankful and happy with my results! read more

Kim Orthodontics is a phenomenal place to have your teeth corrected along with a great service and staff. I personally have been going to Kim Orthodontics for years now and could not be more satisfied! Highly recommend for anyone looking to correct their teeth with Invisalign or braces! read more

Comprehensive Review - How I chose Kim Ortho and Pre/Post treatment reflections: Kim Ortho was my first consultation and I was nervous and expecting that my teeth were too difficult or the process would be too troublesome or costly, but Dr. Kim was very attentive and took time to explain every aspect. I have shopped around looking for Invisalign providers and my experience with other doctors were no where close to as comfortable and convenient. Other providers needed many in-person checkups, which would take way too much time. Kim Ortho uses an app to scan teeth once a week at home and it took 5 minutes, which is less time than it takes to find parking at Ala Moana during lunch break. With the app, there is constant feedback and attentive eyes ensuring things go smoothly. In choosing my doctor, I considered the cost, reviews, experience, and the doctor/staff attitude and bedside manner in the office. Post-treatment, I realize that technology is incredibly important, I cannot imagine going through treatment with monthly in-person checkups. The cost is competitive and have several available payment options; after going through the process, there have not been any additional fees even though I delayed the process a few times and needed some adjustments and additional work. Overall, I had finished earlier than expected, which tells me that the treatment time estimates likely accounts for some complications or delays. Reviews online are overwhelmingly positive and I am now adding to the list of 5 star reviews. Lots of reviews said the family and staff treat you part of the family, which is true, but better. After going through about a year and a half of treatment, I would choose Kim Ortho over my actual family for care. For technical experience, I found out that Dr. Kim was recognized by Invisalign directly as being a particularly distinguished top provider, something other doctors I compared with did not have. After my treatment, I can report that every step was calculated and nothing was surprising or challenging for Dr. Kim or the techs. After doing my first consultation in office, I could instantly tell the office has a light and upbeat environment. Everyone is kind, considerate, and often funny. I've gone into the office a handful of times during treatment to get detailed checkups and pick up new sets of aligners, I have never been kept waiting for my appointment. There are probably more factors that can be considered, but if you're on the fence about choosing Kim Ortho or another provider, I would say that the tie breaker should be the staff. You can tell a lot about your future treatment by how the staff treat you and each other. There's no award or measure for staff attitude, kindness, and happy overall work-environment, so do your own gut-check and go in for the consultation to take a look. Trust that the office that treats you better will care more about your treatment long-term. Pro-tip, pay extra attention to how other patients are being treated and go in with high expectations so you can better figure out which office really cares. I expect that you'll see a clear service-level difference with Kim Ortho. About the result, I love my new smile! I thought it couldn't be done, not to perfection. All of my photos are smiles without teeth as I have always been self conscious, but that's all starting to change! Big thanks to Dr. Kim and the whole office! I will be referring all my friends and family. read more

This place is the best because of how nice the employees were and how informational they were would give 10/10 if possible

Dr. Gerald Kim and his staff have taken care of my son's dental needs for the past 5 years. Dr. Kim is very kind and caring. He explains things thoroughly and made it easy for my son to understand the purpose of his invisiligns and how to care for them. At every appointment, Dr. Kim was on time, professional and attentive. He patiently answered all of our questions and would take the time to talk to my son about how he was doing. Cathy, the front desk receptionist, is always "on it" and made us feel welcome every time we came in for an appointment. She has a smile in her voice and is always pleasant both in person and on the phone! My son has now "graduated" and no longer has to go in for regular appointments. We have peace of mind knowing if we have questions or concerns, we can always count on Dr. Kim! I highly recommend Dr Kim for children and adults :) read more

When I had my initial consultation appointment with Dr Kim I was nervous because my case was complicated. I had a pretty bad under bite and crooked teeth. I always thought my only possible option was to undergo jaw surgery. I was lucky because Dr Kim informed me I would be able to correct my under bite with invisalign! I was beyond thrilled because not only would I save money but I would not have to get jaw surgery! My treatment with Dr Kim came to end after a three year invisalign journey. I really enjoyed my invisalign treatment with Dr Kim and his staff. They were always very kind and professional. Dr Kim is very knowledgeable and he could answer all the questions I had. I felt very lucky to have Dr Kim for my invisalign treatment. Now, I have no more under bite or TMJ headache, just a beautiful smile! Thank you Dr Kim! Dr Kim really genuinely cares for his patients and he made sure to make my treatment as comfortable as possible during the whole invisalign process. I was also impressed by Dr Kim incorporating new technology gadgets to my invisalign treatments and making the process a lot easier. I think what I will miss the most is coming to his office and seeing Dr Kim and his staff who are always so friendly and happy! Again, thank you Dr Kim, Cathy, Faye and all the staff, you guys are rock! read more

My teeth feel and look amazing thanks to Dr. Kim! Everyone on his team is attentive and welcoming. I love that I can track my progress on the Dental Monitoring App which makes it easy for me to stay on top of my Invisalign trays. The app also lets you communicate with Dr. Kim and his staff which is great when I have questions. If you're thinking about Invisalign and achieving that million dollar smile, Dr. Kim and his team is the place to go! read more

This review is long overdue. I've completed my invisilign journey and I'm so happy with my smile. Growing up I use to hide my smile and cover my mouth because I had overcrowding teeth. But thanks to Dr. Kim, I can smile confidently. Dr. Kim and his staff are so nice and friendly. The office is welcoming and they make you feel like family with each visit. Highly recommend them. read more

I have recently had occasion to witness Dr. Kim and his staff in their professional setting and I can vouch for the excellent service you will receive if you, a family member, or friend want to invest in Invisalign. Don't bother shopping around. Go straight there! read more

TLDR: if you're thinking about Invisalign, look no further. Hands down the best orthodontist in Hawaii. Dr. Kim and his staff are truly exceptional. Professionalism and customer service at its best. My journey toward a better smile started in late December 2019. If it wasn't for Dr. Kim, I would not have been made aware that my gums needed to be looked at before starting treatment. He referred me to a periodontist and I was able to complete that treatment before starting Invisalign. I also happened to move off-island in the middle of my treatment and because of the Scanbox virtual weekly check-ins, I was able to continue my treatment without finding a new orthodontist in my new city. It also gave me a reason to visit back home when I was done with treatment I just completed my treatment, which took only 12 months instead of the 18 we thought it was going to take. I love the results and my new smile. Thank you, Dr. Kim and staff! read more

This review is long overdue, I completed treatment with Kim Orthodontics a couple years ago, Dr. Gerald Kim and his staff are fantastic! This is my second time having orthodontic work, as I was not diligent with my retainers the first time. I am so happy that I decided to do this, my teeth look better than before! Kim orthodontics really takes care of you! I highly recommend their office! I've been good about my retainers, and I always get compliments on my smile. I have Kim Orthodontics to thank for that! read more

Dr Kim is the one you want to see if you are thinking to improve your smile.... I have been thinking about my teeth for long time but never made decision, as it would take long and expensive. The reason I decided finally was not how I look but more like teeth health issue for the future. He never forces or convince you but shows you the best choice you can take. I have been spending fortune on my teeth in my life ... but I'm sure this is something I will never regret. read more

This review is long overdue but we just had to share how amazed and happy we are with our daughter's Invisalign results from Dr. Gerald!! Our daughter started treatment when she turned 8 and had such a great experience with her Invisalign journey- from the initial consultation to the day she finished her last Invisalign set, Dr. Gerald and his team have been so awesome! The friendly and efficient staff made appointments a fun family outing! Doc and his staff are always cheerful and friendly, even on a busy day! The bright and clean office is kid friendly with iPads to keep waiting siblings occupied. When I asked my daughter how she liked Invisalign, she said it was pretty easy to get the hang of and thankfully she was able to be responsible with her Invisalign at school. We love her smile more than ever, thanks to Dr. G! read more

Kim Orthodontics - Orthodontists Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Do you know that feeling when you get when you first walk into a place or meet someone for the first time and you just loved it? I believe we have that immediate feeling about something when we feel trust in someone. In this case, I felt at home, safe and without worries as soon as I walked into Dr. Kim's office. The receptionists were young, very friendly and provided EXCELLENT customer service. Five Big Yelp Stars just for being awesome I visited Dr. Gerald Kim office for a consultation on Invisalign. The office was bright, very clean and an absolutely beautiful view looking out into the city. Dr. Kim was top notch, friendly, professional and you just sense that he's the expert you want to see for orthodontic works. During my consultation, Dr. Kim clearly explained the procedure, how long it would take and of course the cost. If you need an expert, you found the right specialist. Make a phone call today!!! read more

After 2 years I finally have the smile I always wanted. As you can see in the image below, my teeth has transformed greatly thanks to the expertise of Dr. Kim. I will definitely recommend Kim Orthodontics to my family and friends. read more

Kim Orthodontics - Orthodontists Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Superb!! Top of his game. Latest technology around. This doctor is really here to help do whatever it takes until you are completely satisfied, unlike other orthos who only want to pull teeth, the easy and fast way to straighten teeth and NEXT! If you're needing to straighten teeth don't waste your time elsewhere. Doc and staff are so friendly and great bedside manners. read more

I have completed the full year of follow up of retainers, after the regular Invisalign process (which took me 1 year also). I was unable to see Dr. Kim for 18 months of the process because I moved to Washington, DC. But Dr. Kim gave me the instructions and support to keep the teeth looking good until I could get out for a year check up. I can't overstate how accommodating Cathy was to my schedule challenges every time I flew in from the mainland for an appointment. I still hold my 5 star review, this is the place to be if you're not just looking to get braces/Invisalign (Dr. Kim is the best) but to be treated like family by the entire staff! read more

Just finished ortho treatment with Invisalign for daughter #2 and the results are amazing! It actually was less than the year and a half Dr. Kim estimated - Awesome!! I cannot express how happy we have been over the last 7 years having two daughters complete their very different but successful orthodontic experience with Dr. Kim and his exceptional staff. The Damon braces were excellent and Invisalign was excellent, too - thanks to Dr. Kim's expertise. I am still very impressed by Dr. Kim's concern to make sure my daughters' smiles are not just beautiful, but that their teeth are now healthier and aligned correctly, and that the experience was painless and comfortable for them. Not an easy task, and I know from having braces when I was a teen. The whole team deserves 5 stars which would be a well deserved 20 star rating if I could! They have become like family and I will miss seeing them once we get the retainers. I may have to get treatment myself to continue seeing them! Thank you so much Dr. Kim, Cathy, Faye and Thea for your care and professionalism! You are truly Da Best! read more

I'm recommending Kim Orthodontics if you are looking for a friendly, welcoming, professional, sanitary, and genuinely caring staff. Dr. Kim is personable and high-spirited! It was a no-brainer to trust that I was in good hands. His confidence really put me at ease and made the overall experience enjoyable. I never had a question that wasn't answered nor indirect. He was very "to-the-point" which I appreciated because it didn't leave me guessing whether I was following directions correctly on the invisalign process. They were just a phone call or visit away if I ever had questions but overall I was well-equipped and the steps they walked me through on my quarterly check-up visits were easy and accurate to the promises of my end result. There was no doubt that I would end up with straight teeth! I was also very pleased to be able to finance my invisaligns on a monthly payment plan that was suitable for me. Very affordable and was soooo worth it! You won't be disappointed. Thanks Kim Orthodontics for excelling in you profession! I am very blessed to be a part of your successful portfolio of patients! read more

Kim Orthodontics - Orthodontists Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Dr. Kim and his team are absolutely amazing! They made the process of getting Invisalign, dare I say, enjoyable. Never thought I'd look forward to orthodontist appointments! Seriously, though, I don't think I've ever met such genuinely nice people. So nice that when I came home to Hawaii to visit, I conveniently "broke" my retainers and had to book an appointment so I could see them. I can't recommend this place enough! Best investment of my life. Thanks for the awesome teeth, guys! read more

For whoever is reading this and is on this page, y'all don't need to find another orthodontist because Dr. Kim is the best! Seriously recommend coming here if you are interested in getting braces or invisalign. Dr. Kim is knowledgable in both expertise. Both him and his crew are able to answer any questions/concerns that you may have. They're all really great people and I always feel so welcomed whenever I come in. I actually feel like we've been friends for a long time, thats how welcoming, sweet, and friendly they are. They really take the time to talk to you and get to know you. My boyfriend was the one who introduced me to Dr. Kim because he was a patient there before. He did an excellent job on his teeth! My boyfriend is very happy with his results and is grateful that Dr. Kim was his orthodontist. Consultations are free, just need to set up an appointment so you can get your mouth examined by them. On the real though, if you decide to have Dr. Kim as your orthodontist, you'll be getting your money's worth. I can't stress how great he is. I don't think he gets praised enough for his work haha. I had invisalign for a little more than a year and today is the day where I no longer have bumps on my teeth! I'm getting my retainers woohoo! The overall process was great, sometimes I even forget that I have invisalign on. Him and his crew will do check ups on how my teeth are just to see if there might be some changes that he can fix. I think the checkups are great so you can make sure you're wearing them correctly and are doing fine. I have much more to say about my experience (all positive) and I'm sure a lot of his patients do also but I'm really happy with my results! Take my recommendation! You won't regret it! :) read more

Dr. Kim is the best. Real pro who cares about his patients. My teeth were crooked and his team and him made them straight. Great service and care and fun staff! Mahalo Dr. Kim and his team for all your hard work and help! read more

Such a pleasant experience it was getting my work done by Dr Kim's office. The staff was always so kind and welcoming and Dr. Kim was very helpful and available for all my questions. My teeth results were better than I expected and in such a short time! read more

Kim Orthodontics - Orthodontists Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I very rarely write reviews, but I have been so impressed with Kim Orthodontics that I felt compelled to write one. I am a physician myself and can honestly say that Dr. Gerald Kim and his entire staff have the best customer service I have ever encountered in any medical practice. It is truly out of this world. Dr. Kim and every staff member I have met (I think I've met them all) strike the perfect balance of competence, professionalism and friendliness. I researched literally every Invisalign provider on Oahu before choosing Kim Orthodontics. They use the best, most up-to-date technology for Invisalign. Yes, you might pay slightly more for Invisalign here than with other Oahu providers, but keep in mind that you get what you pay for. It costs a little bit more because you are getting better technology and a better provider, so you'll have better results. From my viewpoint, I'd rather spend just a little bit more to get the best result possible. You won't save any money by finding an inferior 'discount' provider that doesn't do the job right the first time, requiring more work in the future. I made that mistake with braces in the past, so Dr. Kim is fixing it with Invisalign now. There is a reason Kim Orthodontics is rated as one of the top Invisalign providers in the nation, not just on the island. Both the Ala Moana and Pearlridge offices are beautiful - very clean, upscale, modern, and well-connected with Wi-Fi and ipads for your use while you wait, although I've never had to wait past my appointment time. Normally, I hate being a patient for any kind of medical services, but I don't mind going to see Dr. Kim at all. Dr. Kim and his staff make you (and your family) feel very welcome as soon as you step in the door, and they honestly care about how you are doing. I'm not sure how he managed to assemble his amazing staff, but I would love to steal them for my own practice! I'm halfway through my Invisalign treatment so far and haven't had a single problem. They did make it clear from the beginning that they were always available should I encounter any issues, luckily I haven't had any. They all have a very gentle touch, so I've never had any pain or discomfort at all during a visit. Dr. Kim is very efficient, but somehow never rushes and always takes as much time as you need to answer questions. They also take obvious care to keep their equipment and facility extremely clean and sterile, which is very important to me. If you are on the fence, I highly suggest you at least go for a consultation. They have a monthly payment plan option if cost is an issue. They also have a fun rewards system that is great for kids (and adults) to keep them motivated to take care of their teeth while they have braces or Invisalign, which is not an easy thing to do. It's very difficult to provide the best, top-of-the-line medical care and the best customer service at the same time, but Kim Orthodontics has managed it. I can't say enough how impressed I've been. I'll actually miss going there once my treatment is complete. I know this sounds like an ad or something an employee from the office has written, but I can promise you I'm just a patient that is really, really impressed with the care I've received. I'm very picky about the doctors I see - I don't have a single complaint or regret! read more

THANK YOU Dr. KIM and staff....it's been almost 2 years..but WELL worth the wait! Blessed beyond words to have been referred to you! Because my children have very very short roots in their front teeth, many orthodontists said straightening their teeth couldn't be done. With your patience and expertise and awesome brains it worked!! WE are so happy with Hailey's teeth and it was such a wonderful experience for her! You and your staff were ALWAYS delightful to see and any time we had questions or concerns, you all were so helplful! THANK YOU for all that you have done for us! # 2 child will be starting his process next! Jan Silva, Mililani read more

Honestly, one of the best service experiences ever! Started with our first visit, our consultation. Zero pressure, rather clear easy education, options, recommendations, no pressure. Simply providing terrific info that gave us the info needed to make the best decision for us. As the years went buy, the Dr visits were consistent; very friendly... Super friendly and welcoming. Every visit. From receptionist, to assistants, to Dr Kim, everyone was crazy nice. Choosing an Orthodontist is a big decisions... That Dr is being trusted with a loved ones comfort and a result that'll follow then for a lifetime! We felt the trust, warmth and Dr confidence from our first visit. Dr. Kim was our first and last consultation. We had an expected cost range, and they were well with in a very fair range. When your loved ones are involved, cost is a factor, but... It's not at the top. Patient care, trust and the sincere interest I the patient tells you, you've found your Dr. Years after the initial visit, my son is removing his Invisaligns today... What we felt from the beginning, followed through the whole visit (and even after we paid in full years ago, and a year delay in the process to wait for my son's growth spurt to take place... Where a whole new set of Invisaligns needed to be made.) 5+ stars. Highly recommended!!! "Thank You... Very, VERY Much!" read more

I actually found Kim Orthodontics on yelp and I was glad I did! I met Dr. Gerald Kim in the beginning of December 2014 for a free consultation. Upon meeting him, I knew we would work well together. He has such an inviting personality that you can't help but like him on first meeting him. I asked him about Invisalign and he talked me through the whole process and payment options and I said let's do this! Got me all set up right away! The only downside is waiting for the trays to come in which takes 4-6 weeks. I was excited to start soon! Lol! For anyone looking to do Invisalign, I highly recommend adding in the Acceledent to your treatment plan...it's a small vibrating machine that is attached to a rubbery mouthpiece that you insert into your mouth and bite down gently. When you turn it on, it gently vibrates your roots so your teeth shifts faster. You use it everyday for 20min. The great thing about this is that it cuts your treatment time by almost half AND it alleviates some of the pressure you might be experiencing from your Invisalign! Cathy and all of Dr. Kim's staff are very friendly and are always there if you have any questions or concerns. I highly recommend Kim Orthodontics! read more

Invisalign is one of the best investments I've made!! I love Dr Kim and the staff so much, they're always so great and i look forward to my appointments with them. I am honestly sooooo :,(((( that my treatment is ending with them!! read more

I had a choice between two orthodontists to see...one was Dr. Kim and the other one doesn't even matter because after I went in to meet Dr. Kim and his staff, I didn't want to see any other orthodontists. Dr. Kim always has a smile on his face when you see him :) he greets you with a hug and always asks you how you are. His staff is also the sweetest and coolest people ever! Everyone has smiles on their faces and always treats the patient and his/her family with respect. When I went in for my braces I was very nervous because from what I heard, braces suck and they did, but Dr. Kim and his staff always provided the best care and made sure I was comfortable with everything and explained the process of whatever they're doing. The process of putting on your braces is kind of a long one but it's well worth it because they provide you with your #1 smile! After I got my braces on, it was sore but Dr. Kim gave me a comfort food bag with some soft foods like cup noodle, pudding and other stuff. I doubt any other orthodontist place would do that; they are seriously the greatest! They also provide you with a point card so whenever you go to your appointment, they would put points on your card if your brushing/flossing is good, no wires broken and such. I on the other hand would always forget to bring my card so at the end of my brace face journey I only had a small amount of points lol. With the points you can redeem gifts online, like gift cards, games, and other epic stuff. I just recently got my braces off on August 5, 2014 and I am beyond happy with my results. I had them on for about a year and eight months and the time flew by pretty quick. When I got them off, Dr. Kim gave me a bottle of apple cider for my success on getting them off. We took a picture and it made me a little sad that my brace face journey was over even though I would complain a lot about wanting to get them off lol. Dr. Kim and his staff truly treats you and your family like their own family. They love, respect and care for you and isn't that what everyone looks for in a doctor? They provide top care so you can achieve your award winning smile. I would always look forward to going to my doctor appointments (is that weird?) I'm glad that I chose Dr. Gerald Kim to be my orthodontist! Thank you for my smile! (: I'll post a picture of my teeth...sorry that it's weird and that my gums are red...I think it's from the shaving off the glue from the braces so yeah lol sorry but I just thought you guys could see the difference better (: read more

Kim Orthodontics - This a before and after of my teeth lol - Orthodontists Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Everyone is extremely friendly that I almost cried out when I left the office. Dr. Kim is the only one which was aware of my real problem and concerned about my suffering. He talked to me and checked my situation, carefully reviewed my X-ray, I was surprised that he explained to me gently that what I currently need, was not orthodontic - It's necessary to go visit a TMJ specialist. I've been suffered this for many years but I didn't realized how serious it was. When I felt upset, Dr. Kim gave me a hug. I can feel he is very special and professional, he treats patients with honorable integrity and sincerity. Dr. Kim's whole team is awesome. Ms. Cathy is the best orthodontic specialist in Hawaii. She respects patients and is super nice. I like her and admire her wonderful personality. Cathy, thank you, hope I can see you all again. read more

Sometimes I read these reviews and I think, "Is this real, or are these happy patients friends or family?" I can tell you this with all honesty, Dr Gerald Kim (although both Dr Kims in this office are great!) was amazing. I came in there because I had a bad experience with another orthodontist, so I found Dr Kim on Google. I told him that all of the other doctors I've seen have told me that I cannot have braces without removing teeth first. I didn't want teeth removed to get braces, it's bad enough getting braces but getting teeth removed too? no thanks... Anyways, long story short, I told Dr Gerald Kim that I didn't want teeth pulled and that I didn't want to wear braces longer than a year and a half, if he can't do that then I'm not interested. Pretty bold huh? Well he did it... After accommodating me and my busy schedule, he took my really bad overbite and was able to pull my teeth back so that I could wear braces and have it corrected within a year and a half. He would see me every week and always be extra careful not to tighten it very much or to put too much pressure on my teeth. He was very accommodating and very friendly. He's not just a great doctor, but he's a great person. I never had a doctor that was so involved and cared so much about my well being than Dr Kim. And it wasn't just me he did this to, when I came into the office I noticed he would be like this to all of his patients. I saw that he had won Best Doctor of the Year in Honolulu 2010 and I definitely see why. I have recommended him to everyone and anyone considering braces. My co-worker is also a patient of his and she has said the same thing, he's wonderful. I don't know how he does it, but he knows and remember things about each patient "Hey Kenji, how was that trip you took last week?" He's very genuine and I can guarantee you will love this doctor and his work. read more

From the moment they followed up with me after inquiring online via their website, I have been impressed time after time by the staff and services. The little things they do, the kindness and genuine care they give made me feel so at home. The office walls are COVERED with awards showing amazing credibility! I'm an adult trying to get a smile I have always wanted, and I was nervous and a little intimidated by the process, but Dr. Kim and his staff made me feel at ease. There are many care options, payment options, and tons of information for new patients like myself. Cathy went over payment plans and treatment care with me in a private room and that made me feel very relaxed, whereas most places will make you decide at the front desk with everyone around, so this made me feel less pressured and I was able to make a decision and ask questions comfortably. They blew me away with how involved they are with technology, it really gives me relief that I can access all of my info online, see my progress, and they text to check in on you (nice little touch). Most dentists don't show any interest in their patients well-being or who they are as individuals, however Dr. Kim and his staff made me feel like I was important. As soon as I walked through the door they already know who I am and I feel very welcome (I've only visited twice so far by the way!). I've never gotten hugs and sincere congratulations/best wishes from a dentist and the staff before! I just started my Invisalign treatment and I feel confident in the few years to come because of the staff at Kim Orthodontics. Along with my Invisalign sets, they sent me home with a little care package! It was a brown lunch bag with pudding, saimin, and Vienna Sausage, so I can be comfortable for my first few days of teeth movement. I was surprised and really flattered - It was the adult equivalent of getting a sticker whenever you visited the dentist as a child :) Of course adult braces/Invisalign costs a pretty penny, but the little things that they do here make the biggest impressions and truly make it all worth it. read more
