I came here for a consult for wisdom tooth removal on the recommendation of my dentist(who I think is fantastic) and was extremely disappointed. The doctor gave me an extremely condescending speech about why we need to pull my teeth out, with a very slow and unnecessary analogy of «stuffing one more person into his office even though it was already crowded»(for the record, I was 24 at the time. I think I had a pretty decent idea of why I needed my teeth pulled before Dr. Kim imparted his inifinte wisdom on me). He then tried to tell me I should have all 4 wisdom teeth out, even though my dentist and another orthodontist had previously told me the top 2 will probably NEVER have to come out and it was definitely not necessary for the immediate future. He also went on to tell me that he would not perform the surgery without general anesthesia even though I told him I was uncomfortable with this and only wanted local anesthesia. Conveniently, all of these stipulations made my out-of-pocket estimate come up to over $ 800(AFTER burning through my dental insurance limit for the entire year). Needless to say, I did NOT book my surgery with him. I was so scarred by this experience, I put my surgery off for over a year until my dentist told me I REALLY had to get it done. I told him I had had a really unpleasant experience with Dr. Kim and I was skeptical of the next surgeon he recommended. Luckily, he put me in touch with Dr. Shahgoli this time, who was every bit as amazing as his Unilocal rating(see my review for details)

If you are looking for professional care, yet patient and friendly, he is the oral surgeon to see. I was referred to Dr Kim by my dentist. They provided me with a panoramic x-ray. After evaluation they recommended oral surgery. Dr Kim carefully explained the procedure. He didn’t pressure me into it. After the consultation, I was about to talk to Marc, who explained the payment. They take credit cards too. The nurses were also very friendly as well. This place treats like a grade-A patient. They keep asking if I had any questions, which is great. They wanted to make sure I was ready for it all. Surgery went great. The following morning, Dr Kim gave me a call to make sure I was ok. 10-days later, they had me come in for a follow-up. Everything checked out well, even though my wisdom teeth was heavily impacted. I give them an honest A for treating the superb treatment. I would definitely refer my family and friends to him. Thanks Dr Kim and staff.
