Dr. Kim is technically an excellent dentist and cares greatly about the outcome of his work. He does not cut corners and is a perfectionist. His treatment was completely successful.
He makes sure that a patient feels no pain, and does not skimp on any pain meds. He is very well mannered while working on your teeth and you feel in good hands.
However, Dr. Kim has quite an abrasive personality. He aggressively sells medically unneccessary cosmetic dentistry by telling you, basically, that your teeth are ugly. It never stops. One has to be extremely firm in turning down his sales pitch.
He does not seem to be able to retain office help. He has a very heavy accent, so one has to work to understand him, although he puts things in writing and is sure that you do understand him.
He is actually obstructive in dealing with insurers. We got our claim submitted and paid, but it was murder getting him to do it. He is very honest, but his attitude makes it seem the opposite.
Dr. Kim needs to realize that an insurance biller would earn his/her salary many times over. In spite of his considerable ability, we dropped him because of the emotional stress. One quirk is that he, a dentist, has bowls of hard candy for all to eat!!
