Liyoong Lim, DDS, MD

Doctor. Liyoong lim is the best .very proffesional understanding. caring and fast. I whent there to get my tooth pulled out. .she put the anesthesia and i felt asleep. When i woke up… i was done and i thought i was still waiting.lol. She is wonderful she made my pain go away. Rebecca was very nice she worked with me on my payment… thank you.;)…i would recommend them… all the way. I had a wonderful experience. Thank you dr. Liyoong lim.;)

So, this is my final implant appointment and I’m a little sad cause I love this place. As I’ve always put on my reviews, everything went as expected: simple, professional, caring, painless. I don’t really post a lot on Unilocal– only those that really blows me
away and extraordinary. My implant procedure was more comfortable that having my teeth cleaned.
I will miss all of the staff– Stacy, Wendy, Rebeca, Flabby and most especially Dr. Lim!
But wait, I have more procedures to do: wisdom tooth extraction! Now I’m excited!

This office was recommended by a dentist that I visited as I need to have a wisdom tooth pulled. The office is in an older office park and wasn’t awe invoking, although I’m not into that kinda thing.
I was able to get an appointment early and the wait was OK. I went in first to get it inspected and waited a bit more for the procedure to start.
To be honest the doctor’s assistant was probably new, so the cooperation between them wasn’t great but they did get the job done. To my surprise the doctor didn’t do a final X-​ray to confirm everything was out, but I guess it was OK as nothing happened afterwards.
What was a bit disappointing was that they didn’t give me anything to take back, except a pack of gauze. I was hoping for a disinfecting mouth rinse and a syringe to apply it.

I was referred here by my dentist office, so I walked in with the preconceived notion that it was already going to be a great visit! Sure enough, it was. When I walked in for my wisdom teeth extraction consultation visit I was greeted by the nice receptionists and they walked me through the financials and details. My first consultation visit was a breeze, it was obvious that Dr. Liyoong Lim has been doing this for a while and I felt comfortable that she seemed very knowledgeable. The day of my wisdom teeth consultation I was actually pretty nervous, but because the entire staff was calm and collected it made me feel like I was in good hands. The surgery went fine and I came back for a check up a week later. I am happy to say that everything went smoothly and will definitely recommend my friends and family to come back!

Dr. Lim really cares about her patients. She extracted 4 of my wisdom teeth 2 weeks ago and she personally followed up with me after two weeks and I felt like she really cared about me and my healing process! I would recommend Dr lim to people who need wisdom teeth extraction as she is very thorough. I felt very comfortable with her from the very beginning. Also Wendy at the front desk was very cheerful and kind to me with making follow up appointments after the initial surgery. (Will leave separate review for billing process, this review is strictly about the medical treatment I received)

I’ve been seen in Dr. Lim’s office first for an emergency extraction of a cracked molar then later for consultation for an implant. Frankly, I was unsure if I wanted to have an implant placed and I’ve delayed for a couple of years after a bad experience with another surgeon. Last week I had the procedure done and I am absolutely pleased with my experience with Dr. Lim’s practice. Her office staff are exceptional, her assistance are competent and efficient and she is delightful. She has excellent rapport with her patients and expressed genuine empathy. Additionally, she has a wonderful sense of humor! I can’t speak highly enough of Dr. Lim and her team. I feel confident that when my son needs his wisdom teeth extracted, she’ll be his surgeon.

Dr. Lim and her team are amazing! I had some real gum/​bone loss in the upper right quadrant, and lost 2 molars. Although we had issues along the way, Dr. Lim went way above and beyond to complete the dual implants where there was once almost no bone. I cannot thank her enough for all the work she performed. Highly recommend Dr. Lim.

I was referred to Ms. Lim by my dentist to have my wisdom teeth removed. She told me what the process would be and was professional throughout the entire time. I was able to keep my teeth as a souvenir ;].

Went in to get four more baby teeth pulled. My daughter was happy to see Dr. Lim again. The experience was as good as the first one. In the waiting room was a lady that works at our dentists office. She was waiting for her daughter, who was getting her wisdom teeth pulled. She is very happy with Dr Lim too.

I would give zero stars if I could. From the receptionist «Wendy» to the pushy dentist Dr
Lim. Don’t take your chances, take my word for it. I was referred to Dr Lim thru my dentist for a consult. I bit my tongue and it never healed.
After the front desk tells me she never got my referral, she calls my insurance to ask about my co pay. She takes my money and has me wait in Dr lim office. Not a dental chair but her dim dark office. Dr lim comes up asking what I needed today, I briefly tell her about my tounge, she pulls out 2 tounge depressor’s from her desk not a clean jar. She looked for a mil a second, said removal of lesion. I asked could this be cancer she said no but the can send to lab after but I would be responsible for lab fees.. She is a dentist for the money not cause she enjoys helping people. Thank god my insurance gave me a second opinion! This place sucked.

Found this Oral surgeon on Unilocal and spoke to Rebecca in billing. I asked to get an aprox cost of the contract rate for a service needed and she was very cold and would not give me a ball park amount. Instead insisted I come in for evaluation on xmas eve then come back again to have a procedure that I have already been evaluated as needing by my dentist. Patient care not so much… scamming people to generate revenue yes!

I went to Dr. Lim as a second opinion and Im glad I did.
First of all, during the consultation she made sure I’m prepare for my upcoming procedure by prescribing me all my pain meds and antibiotics. My first consultation at another oral surgeon’s office (down the block from Dr. Lim) showed me an 8 mins VHS video of wisdom teeth removal and the importance of it. i could’ve saved money and done that on youtube. I left there with nothing but a bill to my insurance company– no pamphlet, no prescription.
Because all 4 of my teeth are really impacted, Dr. Lim had to put me to sleep. I counted backward from 100 to 97 and I was KO and that’s all i remembered. Went home and threw up a little bit but no swollen yet. Didn’t really ice my face because I don’t like cold compress on my face… so i paid for it the next day because I looked like I had golf balls in my cheeks; HOWEVER, by the second day i was able to open my sore jaw a little bit and was eating solid food (udon, noodle soup, sashimi, rice, eggs, etc). the hardest part was putting the sushi into my mouth because it could only open up so much and with the teeth in the way i had to pick apart my sushi :(
ANYWAYS, went in on Friday morning and by Monday morning I was at work with some chipmunk cheeks (now at work I’m known as chipmunk). didn’t use any of the pain meds and by day 5 I was completely fine.
One star off because during my entire healing period my left side of my jaw was bruised and the pins and needle sensation will not go away! i was hella scared a nerve was damage or something. And I was, still am, sad I couldn’t keep my teeth. I understand my teeth could’ve been suctioned up the tube during the extraction but I was hoping I could’ve went home with a little bit of wisdom :{
OH, and Dr. Lim’s price is legit. i was given an estimate of $~700 at my first consultation (took about 2 weeks to get that estimation) Dr. Lim’s office were able to contact my insurance and had my estimation by the end of my consultation (~15mins). That was awesome & more awesome is my procedure cost half of what the first oral surgeon was going to charge me.
If I had more wisdom teeth to pull, I would come back here.
P. S. they have really yummy coffee flavors (chocolate & mint, cinnabon cinnamon roll)

I have had two surgeries with Dr. Lim. I find her both professional and caring. The first time was to remove the bottom right molar. I had the implant surgery about 6 months later and that tooth has been fine. I had the top left side molar go bad about 6 months ago and it is still healing. I’m hoping to do the implant early next year. I highly recommend Dr. Lim for any of your oral surgery or implants.

I went to Dr Lim at the end of August for my upper left wisdom tooth extraction. That tooth had already surfaced post the gums and the extraction was straightforward and went fine. I was well numbed locally and felt no pain at all, just pressure during the whole process. The assistant was helpful and I was out in 15 minutes. First appointment went fine, but Dr. Lim was pushy about getting both of my upper wisdom teeth out at the same time. However, I’ve always had one wisdom tooth out at once based on my previous experience, so I kindly declined her offer.
I went back in mid September for my upper right wisdom tooth extraction, which was still under the gum. This time it was a completely different experience. Before we started, I asked if I was going to get it sutured and she said «we’ll see». It felt like she only injected the anesthetic in two spots and she spent less time rubbing my cheek to help the numbness kick in, and then said «ok, ready» despite me mentioning that I still had some sensation. Unlike last time where I just felt pressure, this time was so painful, that I had to stop her half way saying it really hurt. She was rude and tried to blame it on me, saying most people get sedation since this tooth wasn’t out yet, and that I had a small mouth and I had to work with her. So she continued but the searing pain rushing through my skull was so excruciating I thought I would pass out. When the tooth was finally out she just left the room in a huff without saying a word, leaving me with an assistant who wasn’t helpful answering my questions.
I still had complete sensation and pain in my upper right jaw as I drove home, that’s how I know she did not numb me enough. How am I still feeling my lip when typically I’m numbed for a few hours afterwards based on my previous experience. For my upper left extraction I didn’t feel sensation in my cheeks and lips for an hour afterwards. She had two patients waiting which is probably why she rushed me and didn’t give me more time for the novacaine to work. She also never acknowledged my question about if I needed stitches and just left the room.
Lim lacks interpersonal skills, such as being rude when I was in extreme pain and leaving the room without saying anything. When I had my lower wisdom teeth (which were also not out yet), I only had local anesthesia and I felt no pain. So her comment to me (while I was in excruciating pain no less) that I should have had general anesthesia was off base. Like other reviewers mentioned, she has an in and out attitude. Because of this experience, I cannot recommend her for teeth extraction. Please read the other 1 star reviews and all those mentioned how Lim ignored the pt when she/​he was in excruciating pain during extraction.
BTW, her office is dingy, for the amount of money she gets paid for these procedures, you would think the office should be nicer and high tech… but it’s not.

Everything here went smoothly! I was impressed with how soon they could get me in. I scheduled an initial visit for my teeth within a week of calling and then they got me in the following Friday to get all 4 wisdom teeth out. The whole procedure took maybe 45 minutes and I was never in any pain. I was eating solids by the next morning.

Dr. Lim does a fantastic job in making your experience as stressfree as possible. I had 4 wisdom teeth removed at once courtesy of Dr. Lim, and I was extremely nervous at first. I was unsure about how to get in contact with my insurance company or how much I be paying for my deductible, I wanted to be asleep when they did the surgery and I did not want to be unfunctional for the next couple weeks cause of the surgery. Dr. Lim and her staff clarfied everything from start to finish.
The staff ended up calling my insurance company for me to set up pricing and etc. When I went to do the procedure, the last thing I remembered was sitting down in the chair. The nice lady made some comment about my arms to distract me, and next thing I knew, I woke up with some gausze in my mouth and the procedure was finished. I felt like i blinked once and it was over. They prescribed me with pain killers, vicodin, an oral mouthwash for the wounds as well as a squirter to reach the food that will be stuck in your teeth after meals. They immediately set me up with a return date in less than week so that they could make sure my healing was going fine. Very professional.
and all that, was done with Dr. Lim’s geniune and caring staff. I highly recommend this office for oral surgery. My only reason for knocking off a star is because I still have a tiny hole in my mouth where they drilled. I was told that all my wounds would heal normally without any complications, as ¾ holes did, but one of them has not. I cannot say if that is my fault or the doctors, but regardless, they did a fine job in taking care of me.

Here am I again just had my next implant done, resting till my ride picks me up and honestly, I feel I can drive myself. As always, the procedure went so easy and like a walk in the park! Another great job by Dr. Lim and her friendly, caring team! Can’t wait for my next appointment. Need one more implant and wisdom teeth extraction! Love coming here!!! :))) — - so, I don’t know how this photo of me got posted and I can’t seem to delete it. Oh well, now you can see I’m all smiles even after having an implant procedure. Haha!

Wow. All I can say is wow.
I had an appointment this morning at 8 to remove all 4 of my wisdom teeth and walked out around 8:30. And the first ten minutes was not even getting my wisdom teeth extracted. I was given a deep sedation and that knocked me out so good that I couldn’t feel a single pain. And supposedly, a majority of people would feel a lot of pain in those areas where they got it removed right? Well, it is now 1 AM and I still do not feel a single pain. Everyone’s recovery may be different, but I am just so so soooo impressed with Dr. Lim’s work.
If you’re looking for an efficient oral surgeon whose extremely kind and not pushy, go to Dr. Lim. ABSOLUTELY NO REGRETS!

Had all 4 of my wisdom teeth removed by Dr. Lim. Best surgery experience in my life!
Incredibly friendly and caring staff. I felt welcomed and safe the entire time. They handled all of my insurance things for me and worked with me since my terrible insurance didn’t cover all of it. Not once did I feel pressured into doing a surgery with them which is important because we all know how pushy medical and dental offices can be.
I barely remember anything from the surgery, last thing I remember was Dr. Lim talking to me and then telling me Im gonna feel something cold … next thing I know Im at home being fed some Jamba Juice with a spoon. (I HIGHLY RECOMMEND GETTING GENERAL ANESTHESIA). Dr lim called me later that day to make sure I was okay and that everything was doing well.
I was really scared about being bruised and swollen because when my brother did it (with a different doctor) he looked like a chipmunk, was in a lot of pain and could barely eat anything, but I was fine. I barely had any swelling and didn’t even have to take anything for pain. I was able to put on a motorcycle helmet the next day. Came back for a follow up the next week and I was in tip top shape.
All in all It was a great experience! I recommended it to all my friends and even took my little cousin here.

So I went to Dr. Lim because my wisdom teeth were giving me problems…
She and her staff were very welcoming and efficient. Although I wasn’t afraid of the actual surgery, I was frightened of the aftermath and how to deal with the pain and whatnot. I did the general anesthesia, and I liked that Dr. Lim tried to distract me while injecting me with the IV. To be honest, that was the last thing I remembered. LOL.
I woke up confused with gauze in my mouth, wondering when the procedure was going to begin. Turns out, it was done and totally painless. My cheeks didn’t even swell up, and I went to work the next day. I don’t know if it’s because she’s a good surgeon or if I have an incredibly high pain tolerance (maybe both!), but my experience went very smoothly!
My only issue (not her fault though) is the location. It’s a little confusing to find the parking lot, so make sure you slow down when looking for the office!
