 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve been with Dr. Kim for 25 years. He does great work and has actually restored my teeth completely over the years of service. My only suggestion is to have a better understanding of how my benefits are being utilized for each procedure. That information would alert me as to the extent of my coverage.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 한국인 의사이며 의사소통 완벽! 회사보험으로 카바되는 경우 최고(최초 방문시 보험정보 제공 및 다음 방문시 검진 혹은 치료 사항 사전 승인 받아줌) 두번째 방문시 완벽한 검진 및 촬영. Deep Scaling시 첨단 사전마취 및 무통 치료(이것들은 무료가 아니며 보험으로 카바되지 않으므로 개인이 지불해야 합니다.  1회당 75불이며 시니어는 50프로 디씨를 받습니다.) 두번째 방문시의 진단 결과를 보면서 한시간여 무료 컨설팅. 보험카바 범위 내에서 진료 수준 및 방법 선정해 줍니다. 캐나다에서 25년만에 제대로 된 치과 발견! 강추! Korean doctor and perfect communication! Best in case of company insurance (provides insurance information on first visit and prior approval of examination or treatment on next visit) Perfect examination and filming on second visit. Advanced pre-anesthesia and painless treatment (These are not free and are not covered by insurance, so you have to pay for them by yourself. $75 per session and seniors get 50 %DC. )during Deep Scaling. Free consulting for about an hour while looking at the diagnosis results at the second visit. Select the level and method of treatment within the insurance coverage. Discovered a proper dental clinic in Canada for the first time in 25 years! Highly recommend!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been going to Dr. Kim since he was on St Paul Ave. On top of his excellent dental work, you couldn't ask for a nicer person.  The staff are always friendly and professional from the receptionist to the hygienists.  I wouldn't go anywhere else.
