Skill and compassion go hand in hand when providing exceptional patient care. As a dental professional, Dr. Kim stays up to date on the latest advancements in dentistry in order to provide the most current treatment options for his patients. As a doctor, he recognizes that his patients are unique individuals who have placed a great deal of trust in himself and his team. That is just one reason why he values each and every patient relationship.
Dr. Kim is an avid and competitive cyclist. In his spare time, he also enjoys sculpting and painting, which comes as little surprise due to his exceptional ability to deliver painless injections to the point that most patients are unaware of the point at which the needle breaks the skin.
A very caring and perfectionist dentist is how most of his patients describe him. Dr. Kim has been practicing dentistry for over 30 years in the Bay Area. He is a perfectionist by nature and his devotion to patient care reflects this. He is committed to keeping up with state-of-the-art techniques by attending seminars and continuing education that enables him to deliver the most up-to-date care to his patients.
He grew up in the Bay Area. He always knew that he was going to be a dentist since middle school. He followed his passion for combining artistry and science in dentistry. He graduated from University of California at Davis (UC Davis) with dual degrees in Biological Sciences and Art. He then graduated from University of Southern California (USC) School of Dentistry. At his dental school, he served as a yearbook illustrator and tutored other students. Both his professors and fellow students admired his talent.
When not practicing dentistry, he enjoys oil painting and sculpting and watching movies. He also enjoys competitive cycling. He rides up to the Summit of Mt. Diablo 4-5 times a week. To name a few cycling rides, he has ridden in Davis Double Century, Mt. Diablo Challenge, Cruella Challenge, Canyon Century, and Death Ride or Tour of California Alps.

She feels energized to put a smile on each persons face and delivers superior customer service to each patient. She takes pride in helping others and spending time with her family. When not in the dental office, one may easily find her either running or hiking with her dog, or volunteering at her childrens activities/events. She finds a reason to smile every day!
