Prior to this month I had been a patient of Lina Kim's for a while, and recently I had an appointment in which they recommended 2 crowns to fix some pre-existing issues. What I didn't know at the time was that this would turn into an absolute ordeal. I spent an hour waiting for my first visit and there was no communication to come in a little bit later to reduce time in the waiting room, which was not appreciated, but the staff were super sweet and warm and the doctor who did filling was nice and did a really good job of fixing the space between 2 of my teeth so I could actually floss in between. Unfortunately, I do not remember his name but he was great! During my second visit another dentist installed my first temporary crown and scheduled the installation of the permanent crown in 2 weeks. The temporary crown fell off on the exact same day they installed it, so I contacted them, and they scheduled me the next day for address this issue. I will also add that I was in some pain due to improper crown height that had to be corrected multiple times in order to get right. My 4th visit was a couple of days later when my temporary crown fell off yet again. I was very annoyed, so I contacted them again. I must say they reacted pretty quickly and found room in their schedule to see me and fix it one more time, this time Dr.Kim herself was there to treat me. She was very warm and talked me through the process, explained why it could happen, gave me some tips, plus she informed me that crown is still a little bit too high, so she lowered it. She is actually the first one who asked me how the temporary crown feels, and it fits like a glove, just perfect after she worked on it. So I'm ending up giving 4 stars just because of Dr.Kim(I should say she deserves 5 and the clinic probably deserves three so I averaged it out, your mileage may vary) and because of how fast they reacted and fixed the negative situation. But it should not have happened in the first place. Plus, I believe If the doctor who did the temporary crown should have provided more information so as to leave no room for any confusion or frustration. read more

Dr Kim did a root canal on me early in her career and she over-drilled beyond the Apex of the root and the socket rejected the tooth. That resulted in a lot of pain and infection and I lost the tooth. When I demanded to speak with her she went out of her way to avoid me and I eventually threatened to come down to the office in person and she finally emailed me and all she said was "We'll transfer your records to another dentist." She couldn't talk about or take any responsibility for her botched root canal. Nothing! Her front desk people over the years had misquoted me on what my portion of services would be and I ended up owning $800 that I could not afford. This dental office if nothing like the practice that she took over from Dr Loren Davis. He was simply the best dentist in Seattle and it's a shame that she was the one that took it over because she pales in comparison to Dr Davis and she will never be anything but a mediocre dentist that is too fearful and/or indifferent to talk with her patients that aren't happy! Find a new career Dr Kim or get out of the business because you suck! read more

updated: I lost the tooth (had to have an emergency extraction at the hospital) and need a root canal on the tooth next to it that the infection spread to. all completely preventable if they'd taken any of my several follow-up visits seriously. they need some infection prevention and identification training... read more

So glad to have found this Dental Care. All of the staff and Doctors have been so good to me and I am so grateful.

I wish I could give this place 0 stars. Out of the 10+ dentists Ive had over the years in multiple countries this office has been the single least professional. I had to do a root canal and lost half of an otherwise completely healthy tooth due to staff error not mention the following infection after the operation. Im almost losing a whole of a healthy tooth because of numerous errors from their team which has occurred 4-5 separate times during the past 6 months and am in constant pain. While they did offer to treat their error for free I have lost significant time and money because of the numerous urgent care and other emergency visits. Visit this place your own risk read more

I've been coming to this practice since 2017 and it's been rough. Despite never having a cavity or dental issues in my life, I suddenly had 9 cavities and needed a crown. Dr. Kim recommended I get TWO crowns so that they would be matching/symmetrical. So basically she wanted me to pay $500 to replace a perfectly healthy tooth for cosmetic purposes...yeah. I ended up going to a different dentist for a second opinion and got the crown done there and it has held up beautifully. But I returned to Dr. Kim due to the convenience of the Saturday hours and location. I have told them 3 separate times now that I don't want that unnecessary crown, but they kept pushing it on me. They seem more interested in add ons and cosmetic dentistry than general/preventive care. Additionally, I got my 9 fillings done at Dr. Kim's office. It had to be split up into 3 appointments, which I understand, but I had a different dentist every time and the last one, the tech was new, didn't know the names for any of the instruments, and to top it off, the dentist dropped an instrument into my open mouth. I have severe anxiety and ended up having a panic attach in the office because of this. I unfortunately am going to be doing a few more fillings with them and am hoping that they will be less traumatic than my last fillings were. After this, I'm switching to a new dentist. I shouldn't have to argue against an unnecessary crown every 6 months, especially after specifically requesting they remove that crown from my "treatment plan." I guess your mileage may vary and if you're interested in cosmetic dentistry and paying lots of money for non-medical and unnecessary purposes, have at it. I'm done. read more

Dr. Lina Kim really cares about the patient well-being. She provides sensitive care and treatment to patients. Explained my options clearly and provided support and recommendations as asked. Great Service! read more

Worst dental experience. Lied to me about insurance coverage and made me do procedures I didn't even need and was met with surprise bills. In one procedure, they didn't even have the cement for a crown and made me wait while they got it from another office with my exposed gum without a crown. Their finance person is in Alaska, their secretaries all told me different things, and it got the point where I just stopped communicating with them trying to resolve the billing because they all told me different things and didn't know what was going on. Avoid a headache and hundreds in unexpected bills and avoid this place. There are so many better dental places who are honest and compassionate and own their mistakes unlike this office. read more

I have, unfortunately, discovered the hard way that Dr. Lina Kim is all about the $$ and not about patient care. Here's my experience: I had a crown placed, which fell off less than a month later. I returned to the office and they re-cemented the crown-- for $188! I've heard from my son, who's a dentist in a different state, that ALL the dental offices he's worked for would have done the work gratis. I paid the $188, then less than a month later, the crown fell off again. That time, they didn't charge me because it turned out that the young dentist had previously NOT removed all the glue, and was glueing glue to glue, which was not secure. Long story short, the crown fell off a THIRD TIME. When I returned, they insisted on charging me yet another $100, citing the need for a limited exam. Well, the dentist never did a limited exam, and there NO REASON the crown should be falling off yet again! Even when I complained, they wouldn't budge on charging me again and again for a crown that shouldn't have fallen off to begin with. All told, I spent over $1000 for the crown (not including insurance) plus nearly $300 for work that other dentists in Seattle would have done for free since it was their work on the line. I've since realized that Dr. Kim is ALL ABOUT the money, not about patient care. You will almost never see her, but rather a series of very young, just graduated dentists. It is very disappointing to learn this. I would never recommend this office to any of my friends or anyone on Yelp. read more

Loved my experience here. Fast quality service, clean office, and very friendly staff. Very convenient parking. I got my teeth cleaned here and the Dr answered all my questions and concerns and communicated all estimates prior to treatment. read more

Chipped an upper front teeth and decided to get it filled here, staff and Dr.Kim was super friendly and informative. The filling Dr.Kim did for me that day itself looks brand new and is also sturdy and robust. It was actually so strong and well done that when I accidentally chipped my other front teeth right next to the teeth that had the filling done, it chipped my actual teeth while the one with the filling was absolutely fine. Work is of absolute great quality and this place restores your teeth like the actual thing. Super friendly staff and doctors as well! read more

I saw this dentist years ago and I see from reviews little has changed. Her former office manager was beyond terrible and rude and like many medical office staff- tried to diagnose my teeth over the phone with zero medical training. I had a dental student clean my teeth. She said I had cavities that the next dentist I saw said I didn't (and never have since). Do NOT recommend. read more

The hygenists are thorough and take their time, its not rushed at all and they make you feel valued. Dr. Kim was friendly and efficient. She speaks soft but will speak up if you request her to. I brought my dad here on a whim and he desperately needed a tooth pulled, I wanted to save it but he was in so much pain that pulling it was the better option. Their cash prices are not bad at all (my dad is on state care which had a month wait list for his bad tooth). The dr. who took care of him was a new guy and is not listed on the website yet but he was awesome! Annie, the front desk gal rocks! I come in to be apart of her 'saturday' patient list at the magnolia office because i like to chat with her and she's so nice! Cant go wrong by coming here!! Two locations, each far from I-5 but well worth it. The best parking is at laurel worth and Magnolia is street so during the day its not too bad since its a small neighborhood of businesses. read more

My family and I have been going to Dr. Lina Kim since 2010. Each visit we are welcomed with friendly staff and excellent treatments. Before going to Dr. Lina Kim I used to have dentalphobia. Going to the dentist gave me extreme anxiety. I have very sensitive teeth when touched by metal objects and the sound of my teeth getting scraped would make my fingers crawl. My first visit to Dr. Kim's office I explain to Dr. Kim about my dentalphobia. She gave me some gel to numb my gums before cleaning my teeth and a headset with calm music to listen while they cleaned my teeth. It totally helped! Today both my kids and I went in to get our teeth cleaned and though Dr. Kim wasn't in the office her staff took such great care of us with friendly smiles and gentle touch. read more

Hi all. I can't say I had such a great experience as some of you all. I am only 24, turning 25 in June. So most times, I take the recommendations of the doctors without really knowing what is being charged on my insurance. I initially went in for a consult on my front tooth, that needs to be replaced by an implant (I didn't know that at the time); I went in, and Lina Kim did a very brief consult on my tooth, and then went ahead to prescribe me for a root cleaning or scaling. Can't remember which. But it was more or less a deep cleaning. I returned from Washington to my California dentist only to realize that Lina Kim's office not only did not charge my primary insurance for my job in Seattle at the time, but they completely tapped out my dental insurance for the remainder of the year. Meaning, not only will I not be able to have any coverage for cleanings OR my implant (that's quickly becoming a necessity because the cap I have is brittle and is bound to break) I am at a race against time for not only the longevity of my current crown, but for the fact that next year I turn 26, and will be kicked off my parents insurance. Additionally, no jobs in California that I qualify for are not hiring for anything other than part time, which doesn't qualify me for benefits. In addition to the 2900 they charged me for a TWO PART VISIT, that's right, only saw them twice, I received an additional bill for 35 dollars, while having dual dental coverage at the time of visits. I am so upset. And I wish I had had a better experience....but knowing what I know now and now not having the luxury of getting dental care for the rest of the year for a hastening emergency implant for my FRONT tooth, I regret coming here on a recommendation from family. If you have a daughter or son who is not experienced or well versed in insurance, and cost of certain experiences....please go with them. read more

I would trust Dr. Kim with my LIFE! Going to the dentist can be so stressful and scary and I've really never felt like that since I started seeing Dr. Kim. She makes everything so easy and painless. She also listens to all my concerns, validates them and solves the problem. I truly don't feel comfortable seeing anyone else. She is the sweetest most amazing person and she has great staff! I highly highly recommend for anyone looking for a new dentist. My teeth have never been in better shape as they have been since I started seeing Dr. Kim. I love her!! read more

I wanted to call out some exceptional treatment from Dr. Kim's staff. Thanks to some previous bad experiences with other dentists, I was long overdue for a cleaning. Lisa did an amazing job and was a pleasure to work with. I'm glad to be back on a regular dental schedule with Dr. Kim and her staff. read more

Working w/ Dr. Kim's office as a patient (based on our family's experience) is a definite caveat emptor (buyer beware) situation. Several months ago, my young adult offspring (call that person "V.", as I'm writing this since I was the party with the dental insurance coverage in this case...) visited Dr. Kim's office for a standard dental check-up. Upon conclusion of the check-up, Dr. Kim filled one cavity at that time, and told "V." that they needed to have another 3-4 cavities filled, and so, recommended "V." make a follow-up appointment with her office and come back. Because "V." was almost ready to finish a temporary internship job in Seattle at the time and would be departing soon, a follow-up appointment with Dr. Kim was not possible. "V." eventually returned to our home state and immediately made an appointment to visit our regular family dentist while staying with us on short break at our house, as we were concerned about our offspring's dental health, based on Dr. Kim's examination results. Imagine our surprise when our very competent family dentist examined "V."'s teeth (confirmed by X-rays) and informed us that, "well, I sure don't find 3-4 cavities needing filling, I see only one very small one, and I can fill it right away, and since it's so small, anesthetic is not really required...." So, Bottom Line for you patients of Dr. Kim: I recommend that if Dr. Kim is proposing major dental work for you, a 2nd opinion from another dentist might be a very good idea.... read more

Dr. Kim is incredible! It has been a while since I've seen the dentist because I have been so busy, and to be quite honest, a teeth cleaning was the LAST of my priorities! At the recommendation of a patient of Dr. Kim's I finally decided it was time to see the dentist. Everyone greeted me enthusiastically and with a welcoming attitude. I was a little embarrassed that it has been so long, but the caring staff didn't make me feel guilty at all --more concerned if anything. During my examination with Dr. Kim, she pointed out several cavities that I haven't noticed because I didn't feel any pain! I was so surprised at the number of cavities so I kept asking questions and she was very informative. Dr. Kim was able to explain it at a level that I could understand; she was kind enough to show me exactly where my cavities were both on the x-rays and the camera pictures they took beforehand. There were some areas she said she would keep an eye on; she explained and showed the beginning stages of a cavity which were apparent on my x-rays and stressed the importance of proper brushing and flossing to prevent it from actually becoming a cavity. My oral hygiene habits have changed remarkably after seeing the results of neglect. I will recommend Dr. Kim to all my friends!! read more

I love this dentist. Dr Kim and her staff made sure to know exactly what all my concerns and needs were, and went out of their way to accommodate me. They explained everything to me every step of the way and made sure it was what I wanted. It was the least painful cleaning I've ever had. And when I needed four (shudder) fillings, and my jaw was painfully seizing up, Dr. Kim actually took regular breaks and gently massaged my jaw to help me through the procedure. It was also the first time a dentist listened to the fact that I need a LOT of Novocaine - for the first time ever I didn't have to ask for more and had no pain during the entire procedure! Dr Kim also has an amazing website, with a patient login, and they even offer text message reminders! Normally, I hate the dentist. I am so sensitive to pain, and usually Novocaine wears off me so fast I always have to ask for more mid-procedure. I also have a lot of jaw and neck tension, and will get sharp stabbing pains in my jaw joint if my mouth is open for long. My gums are so sensitive, and no matter how much I've been brushing or flossing, going for a cleaning is very painful. If you don't love your dentist, you are missing out! You should totally try Dr. Kim! (and her front desk staff are also amazing!) read more

When I came to Dr. Kim's office I hadn't been to the dentist for a cleaning in over a year because my last experience hadn't been good... and the longer I waited, the more embarrassed I was at having waited so long. Dr. Kim's staff were so sensitive and caring, completely empowering me and telling me that they would do whatever made me most comfortable. I was able to watch an overhead TV and listen to headphones when they were doing things I didn't want to pay attention to. The hygienist who did a deep clean on my teeth was wonderful, making sure I wasn't uncomfortable at any point, and explaining everything thoroughly. And she did a fantastic job on my teeth! It was really the best dental experience I've had in a long time. read more

My first appointment with Dr. Kim was great. She actually did the cleaning herself, not the hygienist. She showed me pictures of some old fillings, and said they needed to be replaced. She also said I *might* have a cavity between two back teeth, and recommended another appointment to address these things. Support staff were very warm and welcoming. I called and got a Saturday appointment about a week later. What I wasn't told was that the appointment was with another dentist. In fact, I literally never heard anything about this other dentist until he walked through the door (not when I made the appt, not in a confirmation text, not when I checked in). And things didn't go well with him. First, I wasn't properly numbed for the Novocaine? shot. In the past, I've actually never felt the shot, or just minimally felt a pinch. When he gave the injection on the right side, it was incredibly painful, and when he was done I mentioned that seemed unexpectedly painful. He then proceeded to the left side. Then he hit a nerve. I'm talking shooting pain up my face. I felt it instantly in my sinuses (my nose started running), my eye got suddenly painful, I literally screamed the eff word out of shock and pain. And what did the dentist do? Literally nothing at all-no explanation, no apology, just silence. I wanted to walk out at this point (and should have), but I couldn't imagine going through this again. When the dentist left the room, the hygienist was like "man, I'm so sorry that happened to you". After the injections he applied more topical numbing agent. Well that worked! My mouth, tongue, and face (including eyelids!) were totally numb for 9 hours! Having the back of your tongue numb is no good-it feels like it's cutting off your airway. For the first time ever, I thought I might have a panic attack (I don't get those). I couldn't properly close my mouth, eat, or drink the entire day. He also used a dental dam (I had never heard of this). Google it if you don't know what it is. It felt like I was being suffocated, which maybe if things hadn't been so scary up until that point, I wouldn't have felt so panicky and would have had some trust in the process. I honestly had the thought "maybe I'm complying in my own murder". I had pain in one of these teeth for nearly a year after the appointment, and it is STILL sensitive. I had NO pain at all before this appointment. I'm wondering if I even needed this procedure. Remember that cavity was supposedly a "maybe"! I'm not new to dental care. I had 6 years of orthodontics with head gear,lip bumpers, all kinds of indignities, I've had wisdom teeth out, I've had fillings before. I don't love going to the dentist, but I'm not phobic. This wasn't normal. I picked this office because of the great reviews. I didn't expect to have an experience like this here. I honestly feel traumatized and I'm not using that word lightly. I was scared. I emailed the clinic after it happened, hoping to avoid a yelp review (I really don't enjoy leaving negative reviews-I always give the business a chance to explain), but I never got a reply. Now a year later they are leaving me messages telling me to schedule and that they will try to only schedule me with Dr. Kim ONLY (so they got my message, they just never followed up.) To summarize, either find another clinic, or make sure you schedule with Dr. Kim (they won't tell you if you're not). Good luck. read more

Well-equipped clinic, empathetic and professional staff and doctor. I think this clinic is legit. Would recommend to a friend.

I wish I could leave a review for the quality of dental services received, but the office is so incompetent I've not even been able to schedule an appointment. I used the "Request an Appointment" link on their own website more than 1 month ago asking for a new patient appointment with the hopes of setting up regular, ongoing treatment. No phone call. No email. No text message. Nothing. Not a peep in response. Novel idea: don't publish a link inviting appointment requests if you aren't going to respond when people use it.. read more

*****AMAZING! I decided to try Dr. Lina Kim's office when I felt unable to deny the fact that it was time for an xray and certainly a teeth cleaning. I was pretty apprehensive about my situation. As I'd sort of guessed, I needed a series of fillings but what a difference it was to be in the care of Dr. Lim! First of all, her staff is VERY nice and very alert to the patient's comfort. Second, Dr Lim is THE BEST AT ADMINISTERING NOVOCAINE SHOTS. Two times in a row, I felt zero pain. Also, when it comes to drilling and filling, I had the feeling that she was attending to my teeth with as much care as if they were her own. That's a good feeling to have when someone is blasting out tooth matter that will forever be gone! In the end, I can't really even tell that I have some fillings in there thanks to the artistry of this dentist. in the end, I'm glad to say that this is a dentist that I TRUST, does GREAT work, and does it with a GENTLE and KIND attitude. :-) read more

I've been going to Lina Kim's dentistry office for many years now (at least a decade). I cannot say enough good things about these folks. It would be fair to say I am a challenging dental patient -- I've had a lot of work done over my lifetime, and this office is the best of my many experiences. They are friendly and solicitous, they make an effort to get to know their patients, and put you at ease, catching up with developments since your last visit. My dental hygienist, Tanya, feels like a long time friend... I genuinely enjoy seeing her each time I go, and she keeps close tabs on my gums as well as teeth, and lets me know how I'm doing. Doctor Kim is the best dentist I've ever had. She is meticulous about her work, and has often spent a good deal more time on my problems than can possibly be in the standard treatment regimen for a given problem. The results have always been exceptional. I can't say enough good things about these folks. It is great to know that such a strong team is taking care of one's dental health. read more

Five stars is for Tanya the hygienist at Dr Kim's office. Tanya has kept my teeth and gums healthy. I've been going to see Tanya for years and value her care and expertise. read more

Minor phobia of dentist and a little bit of shame every time I let too much time go by. Could not have been treated with more care or respect than what I got here. I went to the Laurelhurst location and from the get go, Jaime the office manager sets the tone for the entire visit. She is just lovely, warm and super welcoming. The hygienist and X-ray tech fantastic as well. I was seen by Dr. Caldwell who is an associate of Dr. Kim and he was great! He took the time to get to know me- where I was from, what I do, let my go on endlessly about my children and was genuinely interested. Also, super real talk about flossing- no shaming, just honest dialogue about why something so simple is so difficult to get done. read more

I'm not sure why there are so many positive reviews of this dentist. My wife and I have been going to this location for about 10 years, originally with Dr. Davis who was a great dentist. He ultimately retired perhaps about 6-7 years ago and we've been with Dr. Kim ever since. The issue with Dr. Kim (and this seems to be true for both my wife and myself) is that whenever she does a filling the tooth hurts for months afterwards. This happened to me and I needed to go back to get the filling further ground down (and it still hurt for months after), and it also happened to my wife (who needed to go back two times and the tooth still seems to hurt). We never had these problems with Dr. Davis. I'm actively looking for a new dentist right now, which is how I by chance encountered Dr. Kim on yelp. Given all the positive reviews of Dr. Kim on yelp, I guess this means that I unfortunately probably shouldn't use yelp to select my next dentist :-( read more

I went to this office yesterday and I felt a little anxious because I haven't been to the dentist in quite some time. I told this to the Dr. and her assistant and they made me feel at ease right away by explaining to me exactly what they were doing. They made sure I was comfortable throughout the process and assured me I was doing great! I got 2 fillings done and they were both painless! I also got my teeth bleached. My mouth felt like a million bucks when I left! The entire staff there is amazing as well, they are all very friendly and professional. I would highly recommend this office to anyone!! read more

Dr. Kim is an excellent dentist. She and her team are honest, gentle, thorough, and explain everything they are doing. Going to the dentist is never great, but they make it as great as it could be. And the 7:30 appointment times are so convenient! read more

This was my dentist, but only for one day. At first it didn't seem like too bad of place--nice building, nice views--but the higienist here was very aggressive. In fact, even though I only went in for a cleaning, she looked at my mouth and decided that I had the beginnings of periodontal disease and that I needed a $200 "root and scale planing." Then she went ahead and performed the procedure WITHOUT EVEN INFORMING ME. I complained to the receptionist, figuring she would at least apologize to me, and she argued with me, telling me that the higienist had already informed her that she had told me about the procedure before she did it. She even told me "You came in for a cleaning, and you got a cleaning." So, in my opinion, these guys are a bit money-hungry. They also tried to put me and my wife on a "4-month" cleaning rotation. But I won't be going back there. read more

I had a fantastic experience at the location in Magnolia. I saw Dr. Urnise and she was kind, thorough, and included me in the treatment rather than acting like I wasn't there and didn't have input. She even checked my insurance to see if a particular procedure was covered before doing it. How many health care professionals do that?! read more

I have been to this office half a dozen times since early 2011 and I can characterize all my experiences there as professional, skilled, and friendly. The education in dental issues and care have been very helpful, too. read more

Great follow thru and a truly compassionate doctor. She cares deeply about her business and how it relates to patient satisfaction and will go to great lengths to make sure this happens. Thank you for a enjoyable interaction. read more

While the staff and medical providers at Dr. Kim's office were very nice and caring, the medical care itself was terrible. After my first visit, I was told I needed 5 cavities filled/refilled and a crown! At my previous dentist (who stopped taking insurance) i had had 1 filling in 5 years. Conveniently my insurance would have covered this work at 80% and ran out right after the crown was finished... I went to an independent 3rd dentist, who did not take insurance, and he confirmed that my teeth and current fillings were in fine health and I didn't need anything done. So watch out - at best this clinic is over-aggresive, at worst fraudulent! read more

I honestly picked this dentist at random from a list of providers covered by my insurance. What a great surprise! Best dentist I have ever had, by far, including all of the staff there. I had my wisdom teeth out, a couple cavities filled, and many cleanings and exams and I always leave feeling very taken care of. They take a lot of the sting out of going to the dentist, which is a huge plus. I have already recommended them to many people, some who have gone and loved them too. If you're looking for a dentist definitely check them out. They also have an office in Magnolia, though it has limited hours right now. read more

I went here over a year ago but would never go back. Picture this: you're not a fan of dentists, need a cavity filled, and find a place online with great reviews that also offers sedated dentistry. Sounds like a perfect fit, right? Wrong: you arrive, are told that they only offer sedated dentistry for kids, but then decide to go through with it anyway, because you know the cavity needs to be taken care of. I will say the dentist herself was very friendly and thorough; I agree with what other reviewers have said about Dr Kim. The rest of her staff, however, left a lot to be desired. The receptionist was downright patronizing to me while trying to make small talk both before and after the appointment. I needed to have my wisdom teeth removed as well, and despite saying several times that she would contact me the following day about an appointment -- for some unexplained reason the receptionist was incapable of even discussing potential times and dates for this procedure -- the receptionist never followed up. The dental hygienist did not seem to understand that body odor could negatively impact the customer experience. I am all for natural body care, but when you spend half your working time bent over a patient with your armpit next to their face, please do not have stanky armpits. That certainly made an already unpleasant experience worse. read more

Even one star is one too many for this dentist and her office manager. Office manager very unprofessional, appears to be easily stressed out when questioned about billing issues and is very difficult to deal with. No personal followup with me whatsoever by Dr. Kim regarding significant issues related to her work. Additional surgeries with other dentists have been required which should not have been necessary following dental work performed by Dr. Kim. Her own office manager stated that Dr. Kim's services were "adequate". "Adequate" is a very, very long way from "amazing" as some others have labeled Dr. Kim's dentistry. There are many good dentists in Seattle and the surrounding area. One should definitely choose a dentist carefully to avoid significant issues which can lead to thousands of dollars in follow-up care. read more

I would definitely recommend Dr. Kim as a dentist. Scheduling appointments can be done via email, online or by phone. It's really easy. There's never a wait to see Dr. Kim either. When I get to the office I meet the hygienist and start my appointment. The hygienist is very friendly and gentle when cleaning teeth. I like Dr. Kim's staff so much that I decided to have my young daughter go there too. It's such a friendly, positive environment! read more
