My experience with Dr. Kim and his staff is 11/10. Very welcoming, very friendly and I love my results! They have 2 different locations which is very convenient and most importantly. their offices are clean. My sister and I both got our teeth done at the same time but she went with another well known company. Although hers were a little cheaper, they lacked the technology to monitor your progress via phone + a professional reviewing your progress weekly.
She said I was lucky that my trays were thinner than hers and more see through & wished her company had taken progress pics as well. All they did was give her trays and she was on her own until her next in-person appointment close to when she was about to finish. She was content with her results but wasn't ecstatic about it. I usually don't give reviews. but I would totally recommend Dr. Kim to anyone who's looking to get their teeth done the right way. You get what you pay for and Dr. Kim is the absolute best.

I did consultations with multiple orthodontists and ultimately chose Dr. Kim because he estimated a shorter treatment time than others for Invisalign. No complaints here about my treatment. The staff was all very kind and personable. I even sent my brother here since he wasn't happy with his orthodontist. I didn't think my teeth were that bad to begin with and my friends all assumed I had braces as a kid, but looking at the before and after photos, there is a major improvement. I think it even improved my face shape. Highly recommend!

I was always self-conscious about my smile. Dr. Kim and his team changed my life. They were very welcoming and professional from the very beginning. They made me feel welcome and comfortable throughout my entire experience. My teeth are straighter than ever and I get compliments on my smile all the time! I can't thank Dr. Kim and his team enough for all they've done for me. If you're on the fence about getting Invisalign or braces from this office, take this review as a sign and do it - it's life changing!

I came across Kim Orthodontics while searching for a doctor specializing in Invisalign. I had a braces back in H.S. but my previous pregnancies caused my teeth to shift and it didn't help that I lost my last set of retainers. I was planning on having them done again w/ my previous ortho (we was also very awesome too by the way ) but I believe he only does traditional braces at this time. There were so many great reviews about this place so I thought I would check it out. Dr. Kim and his staff are amazing! Dr. Kim is so kind and really takes the time to listen to your concerns.
The staff are also very friendly and very knowledgeable. They always have a smile on their faces whenever I walk-in through that door. I really loved the end result and the best part was, I ended up finishing my treatments early! So if you're looking to getting your teeth fixed you definitely need to go to Kim Orthodontics!

If you're looking for any type of orthodontist work this is the place to go! They can customize your experience to make it fit your needs and wants. Their offices are beautiful, clean, and very up to date on technology. You don't even have to put that tray of goo in your mouth anymore, it's amazing! The best part of Kim Orthodontics is hands down the staff. They are all well trained, knowledgeable, and welcoming. I actually looked forward to going to appointments just to visit the staff. Thank you Kim Orthodontics! I will be recommending you to everyone I meet.
