About
Dr. Christy Kim graduated from the University of Washington School of Dentistry with a doctorate in dental surgery (DDS). She enjoys dentistry because it allows her to combine two of her passions: appreciation and creation of art, and caring for people. She is known for her gentleness, compassion and integrity. She realizes that the dental setting can be difficult for many people, so she and her team take the time to do whatever it takes to help her patients get back to health in a comfortable way. She strives to treat each of her patients as if they were her own family member. And believes that each interaction with her patients, as well as with her team, has eternal impact on each person involved.
Why should patients choose you as their provider instead of others in the area?
Dr. Kim believes in providing her patients with the best quality of care and therefore, strongly believes in continuing education since dentistry is an ever-changing and improving field. She has taken many advanced courses since graduating from dental school and has been trained in all aspects of dentistry. She continues to take courses regularly to keep up-to-date with technology and materials, and to provide her patients with the highest quality of care. This year alone, Dr. Kim will be taking over 100 hours of continuing education (the minimum required for Washington state is 23 hours). After graduating from the prestigious Kois Center (a world-renowned post-graduate level dental training center), she qualified to become a Mentor and now trains other dentists at the Kois Center. This extra training allows Dr. Kim to understand & treat more complex cases (including cosmetic dentistry, full mouth reconstruction, and more complicated bite problems), and allows her to treat simpler cases with greater care and knowledge (by being as conservative and respectful of nature, science, anatomy, and patient's concerns and desires).

Reviewed on January 30th, 2020 • Verified patientDr. Kim's office made it easy to set up an appointment literally the same day I reached out. The paperwork was sent to me to fill out ahead of time and there was no real wait. Their dental hygienist took great care of me during the teeth cleaning and initial exam. The doctor went into detail showing me everything they'd found and in explaining the follow up procedures that would be needed. I'd definitely recommend this office.Was this review helpful?{{ reviews[97729].errors[0] }}

Reviewed on December 12th, 2019 • Verified patientI saw an already great rating to select this place and I was not let down. The doctor was amazing, paid close attention to all my complaints and conditions and checked them all individually making sure that none of them was anything to be worried about. The hygienist here, Lisa, was a very warm person and knew her work well. And the other staff was very welcoming and I genuinely felt that I want to go here for all my dental care even if I move someplace else.Was this review helpful?{{ reviews[93583].errors[0] }}

Reviewed on December 12th, 2019 • Verified patientOver-all good experience! Staff were friendly and best thing was Dr Kim's interaction. She is very responsive and clear. This could have been much pleasant except for cleaning. I had to wait for the hygienist to show-up for almost 30 minutes after my initial vital check. And the overall process of dental cleaning was painful than I remember from last time( trust me when I say painful, since I am supposed to have high tolerance :) )Was this review helpful?{{ reviews[93471].errors[0] }}

Reviewed on November 20th, 2019 • Verified patientSuper responsive in answering all my questions. My Hygienist took time to review all my paper work and run through me about all the issues I marked in the paper work. Provided me with the recommendations. Dr Kim took time to review all the X-Rays and explained all the issues around my teeth. Highly recommend going again and again. Big thumps-up for the front office desk in scheduling appointments and follow up on the schedules. Validating my eligibility on my insurance coverage a head before my schedule date and make sure everything is covered. Also provide an estimate about my next visits. It was pretty smooth.Was this review helpful?{{ reviews[90977].errors[0] }}
