Daniel D Kim, DDS

I love Dr. Kim and so does my husband! He and his staff are always so kind and patient with us. We think he does an excellent job. After having a horrible dentist destroy my teeth when I was young I have always had trouble trusting a dentist. I came to see Dr. Kim for tooth pain and he diagnosed a sinus infection. He could have just taken my insurance and drilled like the other guy did. I started going to him regularly after that. he has done a cavity and a root canal for me. He did a great job, was very gentle and he kept me out of pain.

Things were going pretty well with Dr. Kim, when I was using his hygienist for cleaning. When I started with Dr. Kim, I let him know that for any more extensive work than just cleaning, I would be going to my long time dentist, Dr. Dye in Columbia, MO. Ok, so I am totally phobic about dentists, and it is worth it to me to combine a visit to see friends in Columbia with a visit to see Dr. Dye. Call me crazy. But I told Dr. Kim this up front.
Long and the short: I scheduled a cleaning, and by mistake it turned out it was with Dr. Kim. During that visit, he told me I needed some work done, and wanted to do it right then. I balked and told him I wanted another opinion. He got angry with me, and fired me from his practice.
I cannot speak to his skill at other aspects of dentistry, but I was not happy with the cleaning I received from him personally, and even if he had not fired me, I would have fired him.
