Tony S Kim, DDS

I’ve been here about 5 times and will be returning for my future dentist appointments. This place was recommended by two other people, who all had dental work done here before, and I finally needed to get some serious work done: 2 root canals and 2 crowns and fix some cavities.
We all know everyone despises going to the dentist, their profession is rated as the most-​dreaded visit we all have to eventually concede to if we want to eat in our lives :) And food is so good that you know you want to have teeth to eat it with! The location is a small building sort of hidden away behind some residential area — my TomTom could not find it, but my phone GPS could. Look for the large green signage «Tony Kim, DDS».
Upon arrival, there is a small private parking lot, and you enter the lobby where there’s the wife/​secretary that handles all phone calls and billing and appointments. She speaks English and Korean and Chinese. She is very friendly and will call you the day ahead to make sure you can make the appointment. The lobby is large with seating for probably a dozen people/​patients, has magazines for you to browse and another area for kids. There is pleasant music playing in the background.
The dental assistant will come get you when your appointment arrives, usually not a long wait 15 minutes average and 1 hour at most [due to someone else having surgery before me]. I was led past several rooms and into the chair, where I met dentist Tony Kim. He speaks English and Korean, and is a very friendly person — this really makes a difference when you are getting your teeth done, and have sharp pointy things in your mouth… possibly for hours, like me! I really find his personality gentle and kind, as was his assistant. Both were very focused and had little chit-​chat while I sat/​laid out hours having my root canal/​crown/​cavities done. This is nice because my last dentist was super talkative to others, and loud and I didn’t feel relaxed. Here at Kim’s DDS, I was always relaxed and was told what was happening.
It’s been about 2 months and I’ve had all the dental work done, and while it was super expensive [to me as I’m poor and don’t have dental insurance], as I didn’t compare too much at other dentists, though I did compare online prices and it was comparable — overall, it was the most pleasant experience I ever had! That’s crazy to say at the dentist, but it’s true. I went in with severe nerve pain due to cavities I had waited years to fix, and I left with no pain and a smile.
I DEFINITELY RECOMMEND, ask for price savings and breakdown of billing, and mention my name please — we can both save some money! I hope in the future, I’ll take care of my teeth, but if I don’t due to yummy food, I at least know my experience at Tony Kim’s will be more of a dream than a nightmare.
PS. I actually fell asleep a couple times during the procedures, thank goodness for numbing solutions and a calming environment and cool dentist! He also took my appointment on short notice the day I called, and he stayed after his usual hours to work on me — that is exceptional service!
