Fantastic experience: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If I could give Dr. Kim more than 5 stars, I absolutely would! He is truly one of the best dentists I have ever experienced. Dr. Kim is extremely knowledgeable, professional, thorough, and genuinely takes pride in his work. He doesn’t just want the job done, he wants it done right. His attention to detail is incredible, and you can tell that excellence matters to him. I came to him with previous dental work, including crowns that had not been done properly, and he corrected the issues beautifully. What impresses me even more is how proactive he is. He catches things early and explains what he sees before they become bigger problems. I have complete confidence in his judgment and his work. On top of being an excellent dentist, he has a great personality. He’s funny, personable, professional, and has a way of making you smile and feel comfortable even when you’re sitting in a dental chair! Dr. Kim is young, smart, talented, meticulous, and clearly passionate about what he does. It is rare to find someone who takes this much pride in their work and genuinely strives to give every patient the best possible result. I highly recommend Dr. Kim and Pinnacle Family Dental. If you are looking for a dentist who is knowledgeable, honest, attentive, and committed to excellence, this is the dentist you want. I wouldn’t hesitate to trust him with my smile! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Fantastic experience: This is the first dentist that has helped me with what I actually need help With when it comes to my missing teeth.

Fantastic experience: This is honestly the best dental office I have ever been too!

Fantastic experience: Pinnacle Family Dental, is an incredible dental office with staff who truly care about your well-being, comfort, and experience. The office is not only beautiful, but incredibly clean and hygienic too! Often, as someone with complex chronic illnesses, I struggle to find dentists or doctors who take a moment to listen to their patients concerns, needs, and experiences. This was not an issue at Pinnacle. Dr. Kim, and his dental assistant Ranie, were not only compassionate, but took me seriously and listened to my concerns and medical history to better understand my dentition. Ranie provided incredible dental hygiene, X-rays, cleaning, and information. She ensured I was okay often, and gave me ample small breaks for my comfort. Dr. Kim was then easily able to recognize my problem, and assisted me greatly in understanding how to remediate and move forward toward better dentition! I could not recommend this office more, and if I could give 6 stars I would. If you're unsure where to go, look no further than Pinnacle Family Dental.

Fantastic experience: Dr Kim is an outstanding dentist. He has taken very good care of my dental health which I know is a bit fragile due to bone loss. I have confidence in his skill and highly recommend him. Dr Kim’s dental staff is highly competent and professional. His office staff is caring and supportive. I made an appointment because I read such great reviews to find that they were all 100% true.
Fantastic experience: Their whole team is focused on your well being. Dr Kim is exceptionally thorough and very skilled. I trust him explicitly.
Fantastic experience: I 've been taken care of by Dr. Kim and his lovely team for about a year now and honestly it's one of the best decisions I've ever made for my health. I genuinely have never felt so comfortable with a doctor in my life. He is extremely thorough in explaining what steps I would need to take for my implant procedures, breaking down the full timeline, and keeping me informed with every return visit. He goes through all the pictures and lets you know what he's going to do and why. They truly go above and beyond. For my regular checkups, they're efficient and the bedside manner is impeccable no matter which doctor I see. I can't praise them enough, if I could do multiple reviews I would!!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Kim and his team are the most caring and supportive staff. Their sensitive and engaging persona towards my daughter made her feel at ease. Especially since she’s not one to let anyone touch her mouth due to terrible experiences. Her extraction and healing were beyond perfect. His bedside manner is phenomenal. I’d definitely recommend Pinnacle Family Dental to anyone looking for a caring dental family. On another note the hygienists are great as well. I actually look forward to my cleanings.
