Keon-Jung Kim Dental Corp

I did a root canal 4 months ago with Dr. Kim, himself. Off course he tried his best and seems to be helpful but, after a week later I feel some pain and ask him to check. He suggested some pain killers. I was busy with school till summer and everywhile that I had pain, I used some pain killer. When summer starts, I asked an endo who I knew and she told that it needs a retreatment. Then, I go to visit dr. Kim and he mentioned that you just need gum deep cleaning and crown. I told the manager about endo’s opinion and she told me that we will refund you two days later and didn’t and say that everything done well and they need a letter from endo to prove. I paid a 100 $ to visit a perfect endodontic in Irvine and she suggested the retreatment with a discounted price of 1350 $ and after I called them and told about that they discounted the phone and didn’t answer. Completely unprofessional attitude. I waste my money and still have pain and must spend more money.
Don’t go there for root canal (that’s my experience).

Shocking !!, I needed to do root canal and my dentists referred me to an endodontic However, I had maxed out on my insurance hence this root canal was going to be out of pocket. This office manager of this dentists mentioned that she will work with me and wont let me get the pinch of this root canal. Hence I booked my appointment & requested my existing dentists to send all the reports etc to this doctor so that he can see what’s wrong. Upon arrival though I was taken aback that doctor did his own investigations (which is OK as they need to be doubly sure of what they need to do), After multiple X-​rays etc, the doctor started to mention the abnormalities in my teeth to his assistant doctor and lastly he mentioned about the much needed root canal. I mentioned to him that just let the rest be as it is, just do what I am there to do !! he then prepped me on the dentists chair, and am
almost about to give anesthesia, when he asked his staff to load X-​ray, and just as he was about to start, realized’ that he can not handle the surgery as the roots were too deep. What did he do to the info /​report /​X-​rays I had sent him earlier from my other dentist? He just didn’t bother, as he was only concerned about how he can make money from me as his next victim by identifying the abnormalities in my teeth. If that was not enough, the office manager was giving a back message and also giving «FREE» advice that my muscles are very tight, and that she can give my back message to make them lose???
Never ever allow yourselves to be treated like guinea pigs !!! don. t go near this guy

I came in for a general check up on my teeth and a deep cleaning today. The customer service was great and I really liked the dentists at the office. They made me feel comfortable and asked me if I am doing well frequently. The dentist took care of the work in an efficient and timely manner. I could definitely feel the difference of the expertise of the dentist because it was my second time of deep cleaning. I felt less pain on my gum because the dentist had a very delicate manner. I would recommend my family and friends to go to the office because I trust their performance and service.

Worst dentist ever! They rush on you and then the person who does the job is mostly not the doctor! (ask for his/​her license first) and make sure they clean their tools and wear new gloves which is very important for patients health!

This is worst customer service ever!!! I am from San Diego looking for do 4 implants for 2 person and looking for best place to get it done so I did research and call this dentist office. First of all, initial service desk was okay til she turn over to manager for pricing. Due to the fact that it is hard for us to go and visit the office for pricing. So we asked and manager, she was rude, totally. She said we do not give pricing over the phone we have to come and visit the office. We explained, then she mentioned that if we want to get treated it is our choice and hang up the phone. Wow. I can’t believe that what kind of mind set they have to serve a customer. I am not sure that we were rude to ask an approx price before we travel almost 2 hours? I am pretty sure she could explain to us better way!!!

That is the worst dental office that I’ve ever seen. Very unhappy to what they have done with my teeth. Its been two month I’ve waiting to receive a root canal authorization for my front tooth but they didn’t send it on time. They are very late and not professional at all.
Also i had two root canals teeth in the back but they fucked up to my teeth and it took 8 month until they could fixed their mistakes. I had pain all the time. Can you believe it? 8 month.
I don’t recommend this dental at all.

Second visit… Staff is very friendly and helpful. Started my root canal today and I got a little nervous but Dr. Kim took the time to calm me down and made me very comfortable. My kids dentist office takes forever but this office is quick and it shows that they value my time.

I hadn’t been to a dentist in years, a really bad decision, and was therefore terrified about going to the dentist. I finally mustered up the courage and went in and I had to get a lot of work done (2 root canals). And like I mentioned before I was completely terrified and started freaking out a bit when I was in the chair and he was starting to work on my teeth. It honestly couldn’t have been easy for him to focus on his work with such a difficult patient, but he helped calm me down and it was nowhere near as painful as I was imagining it to be. I had to go a few mores time because my teeth were really bad and each time Dr. Kim was efficient, careful and overall just a really good dentist. He definitely helped to get rid of my insane fear of dentists in general.

Dr. Tim Kim and his staff are very friendly, fast, and try their best to get the majority of your expenses covered by insurance fees to your own benefit.
I went in for a new night guard, teeth cleaning, get my cavity removed and fill in a filling that popped out a few months prior. They got my cavity out quickly and it was painless. The night guard was a bit more difficult to get the molding just right and to be honest I freaked out a little when I thought it was stuck (this was my first time getting a night guard from the dentist), but one of the staff members helped calm me down and re-​do it a second time which was greatly appreciated. My filling took a bit longer then the other two procedures, but I’m glad that I got everything done within only 2 appointments.
Overall, the people here are friendly and efficient and I would definitely come again!

I got my wisdom teeth pulled here and I am very glad i did! I have a very low pain tolerance, and when i found out that the bottom two wisdom teeth were impacted and had to be extracted, i was absolutely terrified. I was so scared that i put it off for a few months until the pain became unbearable. i did research on different oral surgeons and read hundreds of reviews and thats when i found Dr. Kim. So i made an appointment as a new patient and went the following week. i was so nervous but Dr. Kim made me feel so comfortable (he has such a calming spirit)!. Although i didn’t ask for it, before the extraction, the teeth hygienist came in to clean my teeth and that was fantastic. after the cleaning Dr. Kim came in and extracted both my wisdom teeth in less than 15 minutes! He saw that i was extremely nervous and prayed for me! and that definitely helped me to relax! He did a local anesthetics, which was great because i did not want to be put to sleep. He told me to raise my left hand if i felt any pain. when the extraction started i felt some pain but as soon as i raised my hand he injected more aesthetics and i was felt absolutely no pain after that. the injection wasn’t even that bad. i just felt a slight pinch. during the surgery i could feel some pressure as he was pulling out my teeth but wasn’t painful AT ALL! All the staff were awesome and tried their best to put me at ease.
I specifically asked for dissolving stitches but one of them came undone so i had to go in and get it re-​stitched, which was no big deal (stitching took less than 30 seconds)! and the anesthetic hadn’t worn out so there was no pain.
The dissolving stitches are not as strong as the non-​dissolving ones, so i recommend getting the non-​dissolving ones.
The pain has been very minimal as well as the swelling! i went grocery shopping and played games the day i got my teeth pulled!
This is my second day and the stitches are healing so well!
If i had known that it was going to be such a simple surgery, i wouldn’t have put it off for so long!
thank you so much Dr. Kim and his staff!

Dr. Kim is really kind and cares about his patients.
He knows what to do for his patients.
Price is also very good and cheaper than any other places.
Many say you get what you pay for but here you are getting much better than what you pay for.

Clean, Nice, Quick, and very helpful.
Came in for a quick checkup and left super happy.
The most painless visit to a dentist I have experienced.

Upon walling into the clinic I noticed that office was very clean. I was happy that Marie was able to do the cleaning. She was very gentle given that it was my son’s first cleaning at 15 months old. Dr. Kim and the office staff were all very friendly. I am fortunate that my son’s first visit to the dentist wasn’t too harsh.

I chose this place based off the 3 positive Unilocal reviews. After my experience I felt like I needed to come back and write a real review and give a rating that more closely reflects this dental office.
Worst dental office Ive been to. Their equipment is old. They rushed me in and out, lied to me, and neglected to even examine me. The hygienist did a cleaning after the doc sat with me for no more than 15 seconds to read teeth numbers from my X-​ray to the hygienist. He didn’t even look in my mouth. Hygienist did the cleaning and they sent me home with no examination or follow up.
I tried to show them the big gaping hole in the center of one of my molars that lost a filling. I told them how it hurts and the pain goes into my jaw and gives me lock jaw sometimes. The hygienist just kept trying to tell me every things ok, I had no cavities, blah blah blah. That is for the dentist himself to check, no? However, he is off doing some dental surgery on someone else so he can’t come talk to me. I made my appointment 2 weeks ago, was early/​on time, that time slot was mine and he did not give me more than 15 literal seconds.
Was a big waste of time that an honest Unilocal review could have helped me avoid.

I am so glad I switched over to Dr. Kim. I think my previous dentist was ripping me off when things could have been covers by my insurance. I came to Dr. Kim because I needed an implant (my root canal became infected after two pregnancies). The price here was a thousand dollars cheaper than my previous dentist quoted me. Not only that, dr. Kim is truly caring. He prayed for me while he was working on me and made me feel so much safe. He is heaven sent!

My friend recommended me to visit Dr. Kim. I’m so happy. I recently got braces so I needed extractions. He was so gentle and kept me calm as he extracted 4 teeth. Pain-​less. I’m also grateful for Helen (the office manager) because she was super healthful when it comes to insurance and procedures.

Prior to finding Dr. Kim, I had been making the hour-​long drive to see my family’s long-​time dentist (in the Pasadena area). You have to understand that my family LOVES our long-​time dentist. In fact, although my parents and brother all now live in the San Francisco area, they come down to see the family dentist twice a year. However, after seeing Dr. Kim for the past few years, I am confident to recommend him here on Unilocal.
I’ve been seeing Dr. Kim for about 2 years now and have been satisfied with all of the work that he has done. I’ve gone to him for x-​rays, cleanings, to have cavities filled, and for a deep cleaning (due to some gum issues that had).
Dr. Kim and his staff, from the front desk to the hygenists, are all very friendly and competent. Even for regular cleanings, Dr. Kim takes the time to stop by, say hello, and ask how things are going.
I also appreciate that their offices are open on Saturdays, which is convenient for those who are unable to schedule dental appointments for the middle of the week.
