Dr. James S. Kim, DDS

Do not go to this dentist. I was completely traumatized by seeing him and him working on my tooth and when I told him I could still feel it, he literally accused me of lying. I actually didn't even go back to a dentist for 18 months because I was scared. Switched to Szmanda Dental in Rib Mountain and they have been awesome. My mom recently still was seeing Dr Kim for a tooth and did not feel like she could switch and he performed her dental work without any anesthesia shots. She subsequently had a heart issue from the trauma ladt week and ended up in the ER. Dentistry is hard enough, people stress about it, and to have a dentist do these things that traumatize patients? There are WAY better dentists out there who actually care, please go to them.

I have used a few dentists over the years and Dr. Kim is by far my favorite. He went above and beyond to make sure I wouldnt have an emergency before traveling. He also repaired issues caused by other dental offices. Also, everyone in the office has been kind and easy to work with when my travels made it hard for me to keep an appointment.

Dr Kim, Diane, and staff make me comfortable during my visits. They are well organized and very courteous. I have been going here since 2014

Dr. Kim is great! I need sedation dentistry via IV rather than just a pill. I went to another dentist who couldn't even get the IV in! Dr. Kim did the IV himself and had no trouble, got it on the first stick. A few hours later, my work was done and it felt like only five minutes had passed. The work he did is top-notch as well. Both of my front teeth chipped and I had one done at another dentist and one done by Dr. Kim. The one Dr. Kim did looks and feels so much better than the other one! I definitely recommend Dr. Kim for any kind of dentistry!!!

His quality of work is the best around. We’ve been using him for over 10 years even our kids look forward to going to the dentist.

I highly recommend Dr. Kim and his staff! Dr. Kim is highly regarded among colleagues and patients for his expertise. I have great trust and confidence in him and appreciate the courtesy and professionalism that he and his staff demonstrate in working with patients.

First visit to Dr Kim was for a root canal, a decision based on a referral from another dentist. Because I received very professional and friendly care from Dr Kim and his staff I returned for routine cleanings, crowns, fillings and another root canal. Best part, no pain after each procedure.

We love Dr Kim! He takes care of our whole family and he and his staff are so wonderful to work with! Everyone is so nice and helpful, we won't go anywhere else.

Dr. Kim has done everything from a root canal, crowns to cleanings for me. Has has always been professional. He takes the time to explain issues and answers questions you may have. Excellent dentist!

Outstanding experience. I don't enjoy dental work but Dr. Kim and staff put me at ease making the process efficient and comfortable.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND! I skipped the dentist for about 10 years after high school because I was terrified of going. When I finally decided it was time to go back, I chose Dr. Kim based on a referral from a friend. I've been going to him now for about 4 years. Every time I walk in, I'm greeted by name and it's like we've known each other forever. The ladies there are extremely friendly and inviting, whether over the phone or in person. Dr. Kim is equally as friendly and knowledgeable. Any questions I have, he answers so I'm able to understand. I have never had to wait past my appointment time; they always seem to be right on schedule. Dr. Kim also helped me choose a plan for future procedures based on my budget and insurance and makes sure I understand my options before making any decisions. I always feel welcomed and the stress of going to the dentist seems to fade away as soon as I walk in the door. 10/10, 5 stars. I cannot say enough good things about my experience with this practice.

As a young adult, I had to have braces for a little under four years. I was extremely worried about after care. Dr. Kim explained what needed to be done and how to go about it. I needed to wear bands and clean between my braces. He did not hesitate to answer any of my questions. The staff and himself helped me understand pricing. When I finally got my braces off I got a retainer and was told when I needed to wear it, how to clean it, and I was given a case for it. Overall Dr. Kim and the office staff were very helpful and polite. Their amazing level of professionalism has not changed. So if you or your family are in search for a dentist. I whole hardheartedly recommend Dr. Kim and his staff. (From first review)I remember the first time I went to seem Dr. Kim as a child, I was very apprehensive. So I was very happy that the staff and Dr. Kim made my dental visit a fun experience. I remember having my teeth checked and cleaned. And for being such a great patient...I got a toy! Ever since then, I have been seeing Dr. Kim and his wonderful staff regularly. The last time I was in there was a new TV on the ceiling! I know Dr. Kim is a techie like myself, so it was not surprising that Dr. Kim had added another TV. It is the little things like this that make this dental office so special.

Dr Kim and his staff have been amazing! I had a few implants done and unfortunately I am one of those people who does not have insurance. Pricing and costs were all laid out in advance and payment due dates set upon confirmation of going ahead with the procedures. It is a process to go through but well worth it. I would highly recommend Dr Kim and his staff for anyone seeking dental work or preventative care. I will continue to see Dr Kim for all of my dental needs. Thank you to him and his staff

I am not very happy. I had a tooth removed, and half is STILL in my mouth. My current dentist, had to remove, for money out of my pocket after I paid this office $1100 CASH to get it done. I could have gotten a blood infection (SEPSIS) and died from brain failure, had my new dentist not given me antibiotics for the tooth that is still half way there. Yet, 6 months later, I somehow had $195 bill... This is not professional. This is very sad. I am a mom, renting an apartment, and barely making it by. They e-mail me a week AFTER THEY SAY PAYMENT WAS DUE, to tell me I HAVE to pay today. Ridiculous. I ask for explanation of where the money went, including the claims on my insurance (which stated it was fully covered because I paid them a deductible), and have yet to get it. Do not go here. If you have a simple issue, maybe. They didn't even fix a cavity correctly, as I had to go to my new dentist to get it fixed a week after.... I have never seen such a quick, and non personable doctor. Very, VERY disappointed. Do your research. This is your health. But! Still have to pay them! This world is so greedy. I am done now. Just be careful...

Dr. Kim is trustworthy. He takes an active investment in your health. Dr. Kim is up to date on current innovative technologies. I hold him and his staff in very high regards.

From my very first appointment I was extremely impressed! The entire experience was amazing! The staff was so caring, accomadating, helpful, and knowledgeable!!! For the first time in my life I don’t fear going to the dentist! When I initially came in for my first appt, it was a day I don’t think I could forget! Dr Kim was so accommodating to squeeze me in the same day I called, I was so greatful. The entire staff gave me reassurance that evryhing would be ok. I could hardly believe it! He gave me reassurance and confidence he would fix my smile:) and that is exactly what he did! For first time in my life I don’t fear going to the dentist to have work done or worry if it will turn out or look the way I hope! Dr. Kim brought my smile back! I can’t thank you enough Dr. Kim!

My mother and I have been going to Dr. Kim for several years and not once can we say we received bad service; the professionalism is outstanding and he tells it like it is even if you do not want to hear how bad your teeth are because the blame falls on you if you did not brush or floss as you should and now you have to endure the dental chair.

Staff is amazing!!!! Super Friendly and always willing to help. Dr. Kim is even better. He is always straight forward and to the point. He always get the job done and done right.

Phenomenal with anastethics. Three root canals + wisdom tooth extraction and I never felt pain or a single injection. Hands down the most comfortable experience I've ever had with a dentist. I can't recommend Dr Kim highly enough, he does excellent work.

Many years ago I was referred by my regular dentist to Dr. Kim for a root canal… as an expert specialist. Of the many root canals that I had had done, his was the only one that remained intact and healthy. So when my local dentist retired and I was searching for a new one, I chose Dr. Kim. It was a best choice. Prior years of insufficient dental diagnosis, intervention, skill and long term goals had left my mouth and teeth with chronic and recurring issues. Nothing was ever resolved, and things were getting worse. Dr. Kim’s office has provided me with excellent personal and personable dental care. From the first exams, where treatment plans were laid out, both for short and long term care, Dr. Kim and his staff were and continue to be highly skilled, caring professionals. To say I was overwhelmed initially is an understatement. But over the past years, we have worked together on accomplishing all treatment goals with a proactive and remediation process. He listens and he is honest, caring, and direct, as is his entire staff. He is available for communication and questions/concerns, and has always responded with immediacy during and out of office hours. His staff is kind, caring and supportive. I like Dr. Kim. I like them all. They know me: know my history, my mouth, my health issues which can make my treatments more challenging… and as a result, all has gone exceptionally well. Dr. Kim and his team have integrity. He is open TO listening and understanding and incorporating my health concerns and needs, and treating my dental issues with best practices accordingly. We fixed the immediate necessary issues, then moved on to remediating remaining concerns as well as working toward strengthening and prevention interventions and supports. His expertise, in knowledge and skill, have brought my teeth and mouth to a best level of dental health. I have full and total confidence in Dr. Kim and in his staff: Diane and Diane. I cannot recommend them highly e
