Just expressing my gratitude for the kind and professional service I always receive at Dr. Kim's office. He explains what needs to be done and is always receptive to my questions. The office staff is wonderful and efficient too. Claudia takes the time to talk to the patients and truly understands their needs. Everyone gets along well in the dental practice. It is also super clean and tidy. I will always be Dr. Kim's patient and I am always ready to recommend him.

Wonderful dental care and the friendliest staff! Dr. Kim is an exceptionally skilled and gentle dentist and he always makes sure I remain comfortable throughout any dental procedures I need. He also explains in advance what will occur (and also explains what he’s doing during a procedure) and he takes the time to listen and respond to all questions! I also love the staff here. They are professional, helpful, accommodating, and incredibly friendly and warm. This is a wonderful dental office and you will always will feel well taken care of by Dr. Kim, Claudia, and the rest of the staff. Highly, highly recommend!

I am in my seventh year of being Dr. Kim's patient. I never thought that dentistry could be pleasant and fun. There is one word to describe Dr. Kim: WONDERFUL!! It is a pleasure to have dental work done. His staff is superb in all possible ways. Everyone is understanding and sensitive to your needs. They go out of the way to accommodate your personal schedule and to make you feel comfortable. I also enjoy the wonderful conversations with Dr. Kim and Claudia. Many thanks Dr. Kim for taking my dentistry fears away for good and for a compassionate environment. Dental fears gone! Signing off as Dr. Kim's patient for life!! Thank you again.

Young
Walnut Creek
After moving to this area, I had been to two other dentists before finally settling on Dr. Kim. He is very professional and thorough: takes time to explain the issues in detail so that you leave his office with no unanswered what-ifs. His supporting staff is outstanding. I don't know how they coordinate it all, but you never waste your time in the waiting room. They are so friendly that a visit-to-dentist even becomes agreeable.
Janis
Dr. Kim always takes his time with me to explain everything going on with my teeth. Highly professional and so is all of his staff! Will continue going to his practice even after I move because of his high standards, skills and because there is no other dentist like him!

The office is equipped with all the latest dentistry gadgets. I would definitely recommend Dr. Kim and staff to anyone in need of any type of dental work.

Helpful and accommodating every visit. Very friendly environment. Dr. Kim is very knowledgeable....a true professional. I really like my interaction with Claudia. She’s a very caring person and treats me with respect. Miriam, the assistant, shares her knowledge about daily routine in taking care of your teeth and gums. While Justin would even meet us in our car, help my husband get off from the car, and even open the door for us. I will truly miss him.

Ann
San Jose
I was happy to see the new COVID safety measures in place to ensure safety of every patients. The staff is very informed and will ask questions to make sure you are safe to make an appointment. The staff will greet you in your car and ask series of questions to check for any changes in your health along with temperatures scan before entering the office. Dr. John Kim is friendly and a perfectionist when it comes to his dental treatments. We have been coming here before having children and even with children he is gentle made their visit more enjoyable by having a wall mounted TV available during their treatments. My kids are now grown adults and have enjoyed their visits and were thrilled to get their INVISILINE’s instead of braces by Dr. Kim.
Marty Bloom
Newly reopened during the county’s pandemic recovery plan, they made me feel safe and comfortable. Probably safer there then going shopping at Safeway with a mask and proper social distancing. They had all the safeguards in place including meeting me in the parking lot to do a Covid-19 screening prior to going into their office. And of course my teeth and gums received their usual royal treatment.
Ann N

Jeannette Harris
Dr. Kim is gentle and doesn't want anyone to feel pain. I just recently had a filling. It was a deep cavity. His shot did not hurt. The filling did not hurt. Dr. Kim is the best dentist ever. I would recommend him to everyone. We have been going to him for 23 years. The best
Jean Marie
Corvallis, Oregon
I am very grateful that Dr. Kim stayed late and filled a small filling that was the only further work I needed. This saved me from needing to return and was great news because I was down from Oregon visiting for Christmas. This is an example of why I have kept Dr. Kim when I now live about 600 miles away.
Leah
Dr Kim was very thorough for my appointment. He even answered my questions that I had about my x-rays & how to detect cavities! I appreciated that I did not have to wait at all as there were able to see me right away. Thank you!
Dr. Kim is great. We have been going to him for over 20 years. Dr. Kim is gentle. I would recommend Dr. Kim to everyone.

Jake

We were visiting the bay area for a few days, then I got severe tooth pain that wouldn't quit. Claudia squeezed me into Dr Kim's schedule in time for us to make our flight. He diagnosed root abscess, prescribed antibiotics, pain diminished over the next couple of days, allowing us to enjoy the rest of our trip. My gratitude is boundless!
Rosalind
Dr Kim is very thorough and has done a great job looking after my teeth for many years. He also tells the truth about what needs to be done.. He is a true professional. He is also a very thoughtful person.
Barbara
Dr. John Kim's concern for his patients is outstanding. He has all the modern equipment which makes modern dentistry so different from the past days. His objective is to give your mouth and teeth good health. His personality is very pleasant - it's like visiting a friend, and his very able assistant, Myriam, works hard to make you feel comfortable and welcome. I've recommended Dr. Kim to friends who have been very pleased with his care.
Corvallis
Very supportive and I’m very grateful. Dr. Kim finished all his appointments and then stayed late to do my last two small fillings. This meant I didn’t need to return and could stick to my travel schedule. By leaving for home when I had planned I was able help with an Apollo 11 50th anniversary celebration as I had promised. I’m very impressed that Dr. Kim stayed late to accommodate me.
Lafayette, CA
Very helpful in getting treatment plan and referrals made. Great care in tending to the needs of a 92 year old patient.

Your teeth have a friend when you need one the most. Timely service and follow up on emergency service for cracked crown.
Lissa
Dr. Kim is skillfull and gentle.I have had a lot of old crowns and very old amalgam fillings repaired, they had been put in when I lived out of state. His staff are friendly and efficient. I highly recommend them.
Cheryl Melville
YES, going to the dentist can be comfortable and fun! As a 63 year old woman, I truly cannot recall a time in my life that I wasn't scared to visit a dentist. It wasn't until I discovered Dr. Kim that the entire concept of dentistry changed for good. After numerous bad experiences in the dental chair, I found myself looking for a new dentist in hopes of getting rid of my fears. Dr. Kim is superior in all aspects of dentistry. From cleaning and examining my teeth to re-building existing teeth into brand new ones!! He is kind, patient, understanding but most of all incredibly knowledgeable and professional. In three years of being his patient, I can honestly say that I have NEVER felt pain or discomfort from any procedure. I will also add that his staff is one word - WONDERFUL!! Everyone is friendly and sensitive and always willing to help make your visit a pleasant one. Thank you so much Dr. Kim and your staff. You have a patient for life!!!
Jane
Dr.KIM is great dentist.
Lynn H.
Dear Kim Family, We have been seeing the Kims regularly since the day Dr. Kim saved my 95 yr old mother-in-law's molar. Almost 20 years, now. The judgement and skills of the Kim family and staff are excellent. As always, my appointment of last week was amazingly efficient, painless and quick. I was in and out in less than a half an hour!! And, just so you know, I am thrilled with my new transparent, paper-thin mouth guard that reminds me all day not to clench my teeth. It's a huge help! Happy Mothers Day, all - mothers or not, we've all had one!
Kim and Paul Wright

Wonderful dental care ,thoughtful dental assistant and great office staff! We are so glad we found Dr Kim and have entrusted our teeth to him for years now! A good smile makes everybody’s day better and one can make sure it looks good here!

No waiting, fast friendly and a dentist who is thorough, gentle and does great work
Jean Marie W
Excellent service. Although I’ve moved to Oregon, I visit the Bay Area a lot and still have Dr. Kim as my dentist. They always fit any needed extra appointments into the timeframe of my visit. I also greatly appreciate being able to ask questions and his patience in explaining things until I understand not only what to do but why to do it.
Jacob Eldam
Dixon
Had my tooth pulled by Dr. Kim and the whole thing went perfect. Obviously there was some discomfort but 0 pain. I was able to fully function afterwards and there is no pain the day after. I hope I don’t have anymore issues with my teeth but if I do I’m seeing Dr. Kim
Christy
For over ten years, Dr. Kim and his expert team have provided top notch professional service for my family. He routinely takes time to explain next steps, pros and cons of his recommendations, and genuinely seems to care about us. My children (4 and 9) also enjoy their experience as they can watch cartoons on the ceiling while having their teeth cleaned and then choose a special item from the treasure chest. I always feel confident in following his advice on the best route to go when making dental decisions.
Partha Chowdhury
My experience was great!! He was very professional and empathetic.
Livermore
I’ve always procrastinated about going to the dentist but after experiencing the trustworthiness atmosphere of Dr. Kim’s office and staff I can’t wait to go for regular checkups. Dr. Kim knows what he’s doing and is great at explaining things. He will ask you if you understand what’s he’s saying and won’t continue until his patient grasps what options are available to them. Best Dr. experience I’ve ever had!
As always, visits to the Kims and their helpers are a delightful respite from the day's usual adventures. One of my favorite places in the Bay Area to be on any given day. Many thanks - and the front filling didn't even show a difference in color. None! Lynn

I was nervous when arriving to my appointment because of a procedure that was going to be done close to the nerves. I have had a procedure like this before and did not have the best experience. I was reassured that everything would be ok, even though I was still a little apprehensive. In the end I did not feel anything and the procedure went great. Thank you for the wonderful service and the high quality of work.

I am a patient of Dr. Kim almost for two decades. He is always detailed and concerned about my dental health, his strategies are to avoid any major problems in future, he finds best solution for your small or big work.

Dr Kim and his staff have taken care of our teeth for years! Wonderful dentist , dental assistant and Claudia at desk is always there to help! We will continue to go to them as long as we need dental work !
Charles S.
I had an emergency dental filling job performed by Dr. Kim, who has been my dentist more than ten years. An old filling fell off from an upper right tooth. Dr. Kim looked at it and finished the refilling job fast and painless in a very professional manner.
always a five, of course. The Kim team is always the proverbial home away from home, for me. Very much more like family than dental team, altho the latter is top notch. I couldn't ask for more. Never a mistake, never even a hint of doing everything in the best interest of the patient, even in emergencies. Dr. Kim once interrupted a vacation out of time to take time for a dental problem I have. Claudia, his right hand, is always the same, as is the rest of the staff. "Bending over backwards" for their patients doesn't even come close. For my husband's 98 yr old mother, the Kims saved her molar that a Scottsdale team had claimed couldn't be done. We be forever grateful.
Roger G.
On time and extremely knowledgeable.
Susan K
Dr. Kim is extremely gentle and pays attention to the smallest details. He is a perfectionist and make sure that every cavity is attended to. Both my sons went and had to have injections, but It was administered without any pain or discomfort. It was an excellent experience overall.
Susan G.
Dr. Kim is outstanding! A skilled artist but most important, he provides the care you need, never unnecessary work. I broke 3 teeth while eating a Lara Bar, Dr. Kim and his staff took care of my dental work and have helped me approach General Mills to cover my care although I have dental insurance. My new crowns are perfect! I would highly recommend Dr. Kim if you want genuine care of your oral health.
Sue
Margie M.
Dr. Kim is the BEST of the BEST. He is very professional, precise and particular. He will not settle for less. My teeth were a mess. He fixed ALL of my cavities (and I had a lot...even though I regularly went to another popular, local dentist every 6 months for years). Dr. Kim prepared crowns over my front teeth. I am now am so happy and proud to flash a big smile! Something that I never did before. His office staff is the best. I am most grateful to Dr. Kim. You will be too.
