My family has been going here for years. We love Dr. Kim's care. She is super attentive, knowledgeable, and careful with her patients. The staff are kind and accommodating as well. Great office experiences and no complaints. read more

This place lies about your problems and make up things to charge you more than what the insurance told you your responsibility is. Bad people, stay away! read more

My dental insurance changed and I'm so glad Dr. Kim is in my plan. They did a full set of x-rays and pictures so I could really see what's going on the inside and the outside of my teeth. Dr. Kim did a thorough exam, explained and showed what she saw, and we came up with a gameplan for getting some issues fixed. I'm pretty impressed and look forward to future care with her! read more

I am so fortunate to have Dr. Kim as my dentist. She is the most skilled dentist I have ever met. I highly recommend Dr. Kim to anyone who is afraid of going to the dentist, especially those with a needle phobia. Her painless treatment is truly exceptional. read more

This is a professional, caring and high quality practice. I have been going there for a number of years and I can honestly say it's the best. My dental issues were serious and were taken care of immediately and follow on care has been excellent. If you're at all hesitant about going to the dentist, this is the practice for you. read more

I used to go here for cleaning and basic upkeep for my teeth (fillings and etc.). They lost my trust when I went in for a toothache and the only viable solution offered was a root canal, which would have costed ~$1K. I told my husband and he recommended a specific toothpaste (he's not even a doctor!) after using the toothpaste over a week, toothache has completely gone away. Never had an issue again, and that was roughly a year ago. This place is OK with the service provided. Just didn't like the options provided. But the staff and doctor are all nice and approachable. read more

I visited them as a new patient for standard checkups in June 2022. The visit was ok. Dr. Kim recommended that I should probably redo one of the fillings to avoid any future damage to the tooth. I agreed and I was scheduled for the filling procedure, the procedure went well, probably a little too fast. Regardless, a week after, I started having pain in the same tooth, I revisited the office, they took few X-rays, then in 10 seconds Dr. Kim recommended root canal - which was the main risk that we wanted to avoid by redoing the filling in the first place. I lost my trust in this office but this is just my experience, other people my have better luck with them. The office itself is ok, staff is nice, however, they are a very strict in terms of covid precautions. read more

This place is money hungry. First thing the dentist said was; "your teeth are going to fall out.". Wtf. No hello, no how are you, nothing. In addition to o that, she wanted to charge me for two separate cleanings not covered by insurance. I have excellent insurance, yet she was adamant on milking me for more money. Luckily I didn't fall for it. read more

Love Dr. Kim!! Best dentist I've had so far! I normally go to the merrifield office, however I believe she's closing that one down. This office in Fairfax is very nice and clean! The staff is great! Annie at the front desk is always so friendly. The hygienists do a great job. Dr. Kim is very thorough and will tell you what you need to do to prevent future issues. Highly recommended! read more

Dr Kim and her practice are exceptional. She is medically superb, and she understands the needs and background of each patient, providing simply excellent care. She has chosen her staff carefully and it shows in their professionalism and competence. this is a top notch practice. read more

Two words sum up the service level provided by Dr. Kim and her entire Pender Dental team: Quality Care. Every step of the process is clearly communicated throughout each treatment, and patient comfort is a very high priority at this practice. I highly recommend Pender Dental. read more

Dr. Kim and her team are fantastic! My wife and I are new to the area and heavily researched a new dentist. We lucked out in picking Dr. Kim! My wife luckily has great teeth but my British ancestry is totally apparent in how much dental work I require. The frony desk staff is always very warm and welcoming. The hygienists are skilled and polite. Dr. Kim is a true superstar! She has amazing chairside manner and is greatly skilled at doing great work with very little pain. I highly recommend Pender Dental! read more

I have been a patient with Pender Dental Care for many years now. Dr. Kim knows her stuff! I've been here for numerous cleanings, fillings and crown replacements. I have never had any issues. It's nice to go to a dentist that actually cares and listens to all your concerns! Dr. Kim and her staff are friendly and attentive. I always feel well taken care of when I'm there. They are the best around! read more

Top notch dental practice! Dr. Kim and her staff are absolutely fantastic - super friendly, very informative and answer all of your questions. Dr. Kim took the time to get to know me and my dental history before doing a very thorough cleaning and check up. She had some recommendations for me around doing a flouride treatment at home because I have very weak teeth (which I've been told by every dentist I've ever gone to) and she was never pushy and I never felt like I was being "sold" on anything. Her staff is also very friendly and helpful. The receptionist at the front desk was very helpful when it came to insurance questions and right off the bat, made helpful recommendations about which dental plan was better, as my husband and I were recently married and going to move one of us to the other's insurance plan. Going to the dentist isn't usually a pleasant experience, but it doesn't cause me any anxiety or stress to head in to see Dr. Kim! read more

Today is my first time visit Pender. Also is last time. Sucks service front desk and doctor. Very Disappointed.

We switched to Pender Dental Care, and I am glad that I did. It seems my previous dentist had basically been doing a poor job of actually making sure nothing was wrong with our teeth. He also did a horrible job on the crown that he did for a tooth I cracked on popcorn when I was younger. This place is great. The staff is nice and the dentist really knows what she is doing. Our teeth are actually better due to her. read more

I went to her for a regular visit and had a fair experience However, either she is incompetent or trying to make money off of you. Patient beware!!! First and foremost she took x-rays of my front teeth if you are not aware are not necessary and are not required for a first evaluation. That will cost you money and you will pay out of pocket. As you are aware you only need bite wings. Secondly, she stated that I have cavities and went to another dentist and disagrees Please be wary of this dentist! read more

As far as dental offices go, Pender Dental Care is the best I've been to. Dr. Kim is fantastic, non judgemental and very attentive to the needs of her patients (or at least mine anyway). The staff are always professional, able to give fairly accurate quotes on work with or without insurance. That's not to say that if an issue is masking another that your bill won't be higher but the work done is very reasonably priced. Have been a patient for years and will continue to be. You probably will be as well if you swing in for an appointment. read more

I recently had to have a root canal, not a pleasant experience or one I was looking forward to. I had never had one before and had always been told they were painful. Dr. Kim explained everything in detail, was very gentle and completely put me at ease. She ensured I was numbed sufficiently and kept checking on my comfort throughout the procedure. I experienced absolutely no pain at all during the procedure. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly. You always know your cost (after insurance) upfront so there are never any surprises. The office is super clean and comfortable. Dr. Kim is the best dentist I've ever been too. I would recommend Pender Dental to anyone looking for a great dentist in the Fairfax area! read more

We recently moved from CA and we're hoping to find a dentist as good as what we had. Dr. Kim was wonderful and exceeded our expectations! She talked both me and my daughter through each step of our visit and cleaning; and, made recommendations about future care and treatment without being insistent. The staff was very friendly and helpful from the appointment process through the conclusion of our visit. read more

I had such a pleasant experience at Pender Dental Care in Fairfax, VA. Dr. Kim is incredibly friendly and such an expert. She extracted my wisdom tooth in 20 minutes and with minimum to almost no pain. All of Dr. Kim's staff were caring; specially Mrs. Maria who was super comforting during surgery. I am really glad to have found an excellent dentist whom I can trust with my future dental care/needs. Highly recommended! read more

Friendly atmosphere. The dentist is so nice and accomodating. Clean and nice office. The front dest is also friendly. I like how they did to my cleaning. Really well. Overall service is great! read more

State of the art upscale knowledgeable practice. Great bedside manner. Understanding, caring professional staff and dentists. Highly recommend even if you have a fear of dentists! I've never been more comfortable. read more

Dr.Kim and the staff are fantastic! Our entire family goes here and we love it here! :)

My fears of going to the dentist are 30 years strong and in one appt this practice eased every bit of that fear. Dr . Kim and her staff are top notch. I won't be going anywhere else as long as I live in the area..even then I'd be willing to travel an hours distance for this dental experience. Truly amazing. read more

I hate going to the dentist. I never have good experiences. Dr. Kim (I totally just tried this dentist because it was close to my work...no one recommended her)...is the BEST dentist I have ever experienced. I love her and I tell everyone of my own clients about her. She educated me about so much and put my mind at ease. I ended up getting some bonding done and she totally transformed my teeth. I love this place....! Everyone is so nice and professional and it's brand new so it's spotless and very modern. read more

This was my first visit to the practice and it was a great experience! All the staff we pleasant and professional, Dr. Kim was very nice and competent. I felt confident in the care I received and left with a cleaner, brighter smile. Very happy with my choice in dentist. read more

Always kind and gentle, which is awesome when you have had a lifelong fear and dread for going to the dentist. Wonderful staff, highly recommend! read more

Dr. Kim and staff are awesome. Straight forward and efficient. And dont waste your time on a pediatrician dentist. She is great with kids.

Dr. Kim is amazingly hands-on and thorough. She is also extremely personable and gentle. Her hygienist has similar characteristics, and her receptionist is very friendly and efficient. The office is extremely clean and looks new, and the technology is completely up-to-date, with e-mail and text reminders, digital x-rays, etc. I've been there only for one check-up and cleaning, but I will definitely be going back for all my dental needs. read more

Great staff. They're doing excellent job.Recommended all friends to visit Pender Dental Care. Convenience location.

I really prefer to avoid dentists at all costs. My mom and my brother recommended Dr. Kim so I finally made an appointment. It was SO worth it. Dr. Kim is so nice and very attentive to my "fear" of dentists. I had a cavity filled this morning and I was very nervous as it was one of my front teeth. Dr. Kim worked wonders; my cavity is filled, it didn't hurt and she took so much time ensuring that it was perfect. I really recommend Pender Dental, Dr. Kim is fantastic and so is her staff. read more

I have feared going to the dentist all my life... now I'm facing the consequences. Dr. Kim and PDC have been marvelous, not judgmental, and offering solutions. Seriously, if you hate... hate going to the dentist, this is the dentist for you. read more

Dr. Kim and staff are exceptional, our daughter chipped her tooth pretty badly on a rock wall and they worked us in within thirty minutes and had us out with a "new" tooth within an hour, all why being as caring and understanding as possible. I couldn't recommend them more! read more

DO NOT GO HERE. This place is a scam. I came here after not having been to the dentist in a few years and was very apprehensive. I shared this with Dr. Kim and she did her best to assure me and seemed professional. My cleaning and overall experience in the office in the beginning seemed pretty typical. However, when it came time for her reading my x-rays, Dr. Kim's demeanor changed and she made a very big deal over what she was seeing (giving audible gasps) and told me that I had a LOT of cavities (without telling me exactly how many). She told me not to worry and they would get me in to have them filled asap and I tried to be calm, after all I expected at least a few since it had been a little while since I had been able to see a dentist. However, her change in mood left me feeling ashamed and concerned and she was quick to send me to the desk. When I got to the counter to pay, I was informed that I had 15 cavities, they would have to be filled in sections, and it would cost at least $400 per section even with insurance. It was a little more than I could handle at that point and I ended up bursting into tears. Dr. Kim passed by while I was sobbing (the very sweet receptionist was trying to console me) without acknowledging my presence at all. I decided to get a second opinion because I really could not believe that I could have so many cavities without any pain and even though I had not seen a dentist in a while--I take care of my teeth. In the meantime, I began to receive e-mails from the office asking me when I planned on making my appointments because after all my problem was only going to "get worse" and "more expensive." I pretty much wrote them off entirely at this point, scared as I was that I was facing a lot of dental work, I decided not to go back. Flash forward over a year and two exams later and I have been declared cavity free. Not only did I not have even one cavity, but I have been told my teeth are actually in very healthy condition because I maintained great upkeep on my own. I am not one to usually come to yelp to complain, but I can't contain my story after seeing so many amazing reviews for this place. I feel sick to my stomach when I think how much pointless drilling they were going to do in my mouth. Don't go here. Or if you do, get a second opinion. read more

A hidden gem -- Dr. Kim is, by far, the most thorough dentist I've ever had. A very positive experience. I highly recommend her to anyone that is serious about (their) oral health. read more

Super fast with no wait times like most Dentist offices. In and out within one hour with great service and communication too fill one cavity! Great experience read more

I had not been to the dentist in many years and was very conscious about my teeth. Pender Dental Care and Dr. Kim put me at ease for the entire visit. The staff was amazing from the very first phone call through the entire exam. They really wanted to help me start better care for my teeth and be confident about my smiles. If you are considering a dentist, definitely go here. read more

DO NOT RECOMMEND. They will overcharge you and tell you that you need something when you dont. I do not know if this is illegal or not but this place definitely needs to be checked out by the BBB. read more

I've had two appointments with Dr. Kim, and I think she's the best dentist I've ever seen. The office itself is very clean and well-appointed, with comfortable chairs and patient-friendly dental photo displays so you can see exactly what problem spots the dentist finds. I needed to have a small cavity drilled and filled and a very recent filling replaced, and Dr. Kim was gentle, quick, and careful to make sure I was comfortable the entire time. I am so grateful she found that the recent filling was problematic--she probably saved me a root canal. I've recommended Dr. Kim's practice to several friends, and am very grateful to have an excellent, trustworthy dentist close to home. read more
