Minseok Kang, DMD

I happened to be in Arizona visiting some family when I started having severe pain in one of my back molars. After trying to grit through the pain for a day, I realized something was wrong and decided to make an appointment at Premier Dentistry. I came into Dr. Kang’s office for an exam and he was able to put me on his schedule that same day for a root canal. He was very thorough in his explanation of the cause of my tooth pain and with the procedure itself. Because my usual dentist visits are a source of extreme anxiety (bad childhood experiences), I appreciated that he took the time to help me ease my concerns and walk me through the root canal step by step. Dr. Kang and his staff did an excellent job and I felt no pain during the entire process (thank you friends for making me sweat a little thinking I would be in unimaginable agony).
I was worried about paying for the exam and root canal at once as it was an unexpected emergency and expense, but Bill (who I think is the practice manager) was able to put me on a pretty reasonable and flexible payment plan. I am so extremely grateful to all the staff and the dentist for making this traumatic dental experience a genuinely pleasant and pain free one.

I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Kang and the hygienist there. I was very comfortable getting my teeth cleaned and everyone there was so kind. I am scheduled to get my wisdom teeth removed next week, and I couldn’t feel more confident in my decision to go with Dr Kang.
His practice offers IV sedation, which I absolutely need because I cannot stand the sensation and sound of drilling on my teeth. Thank goodness i don’t need to be awake for my wisdom teeth. I highly recommend Dr Kang, he’s the real deal.

I’ve have been going to this dental office for quite sometime before Dr. Kang took over. I never had any issues with prices here prior to him taking over. I’ve had the same insurance for years and I know it is not my insurance. My insurance coverage has not changed. It seems Dr. Kang is trying to overcharge for anything and everything! It also seems they are trying to finds things wrong with your teeth just so they can keep adding on to your bill! For myself and my kids, I was told it would be $ 9000.00 for dental work with my insurance!!! $ 700 plus just for a few fillings alone on one person because they have some «special» laser now? I don’t think so. And to do a deep cleaning, they feel it necessary to put you to sleep now and try to charge $ 2000.00 for a deep cleaning! Ridiculous! I’ve never ever paid that amount of money for a deep cleaning with my insurance before Dr. Kang took over this office and I’ve never paid more than $ 60.00 to have a filling done. It seems since he opened up his brand new office with all of his high tech equipement, he is trying to pass this cost on down to his customers. I will no longer go to this office. It is a complete rip off!

Hold onto your wallets. My wife and I went to Dr Kang after going to Bright Now where they would not clean my wife’s teeth without a complete deep cleaning of all her teeth. So we looked for another option. The cost for her total mouth work was about 1500at Bright Now. Dr Kank wanted 6500, charging for every little item.
Since she wanted to change I would change with her. My work at Bright Now was about 3200 with Dr Kang it was over 11,000. they charge for every little thing normally included in a crown and tooth restoration.
We are going back to Bright Now.

The dental assistant is an all star, kudos to her. The reason for the poor rating is the abundant, presistant advertising of products neither asked for, nor necessary, the inabilty to schedule time and fill out forms using ZipDoc — warn me I am wasting my time filling stuff out u do not use or look at, and last but not least for not listening to your patient and not leveling to explain why something is done, or entrrtain alternatives. Also pressuring patients to give you good review is not how it works — listen what patient is asking and telling you and answer questions drop your agenda and truly work for your patient, not use them for reviews, references and buying as much as possible. Everyone can see though cheap advertising and lack of genuine care.
