Kim Family Orthodontics

This man is AH-​mazing! Tonight (Friday) at around 10pm, part of the wire in my daughter’s braces busted loose and was dangling out of her lips. My husband took pliers and snipped it off as close to the brace as he could get it. But there was still a sharp edge sticking out which was scraping against the inside of her mouth. I called Dr. Kim’s office, obviously knowing I’d have to leave a voicemail and thinking for sure nothing could be done until Monday morning at the very earliest. Which meant that my poor little girl was going to be in discomfort — or downright agony — for two and a half days. Well, not ONLY did Dr. Kim return my phone call within 5 minutes of when I called his office, but he told me I could bring my daughter in tomorrow morning at 8am and he will get her fixed right up! This man is not only a fantastic orthodontist, he’s a GODSEND! And my daughter really likes him too, which means a lot to me. I highly recommend Dr. Kim for your orthodontic services! He came highly recommended by my daughter’s dentist and it’s certainly easy to see why.

Dr. Kim is really amazing and his staff is fantastic! I highly recommend him. He made the whole braces experience easy for me. He is always in a good mood and his staff makes you feel so comfortable. If I had to do it all over again I would choose Dr. Kim for orthodontics. They are not just very professional but always available if you need them.

Our wonderful dentist Dr. Yavari, at Aliso Park Dental, recommended Dr. Kim to us. We hit the ortho jackpot! He is kind, efficient, and an overall wonderful person. Kim Family Orthodontics-​Where everyone smiles! Such a true slogan. The staff is cheerful and sweet, the office is clean, and the music is upbeat. Great team backing a great orthodontist. Also parking is free and easy!!!

My problem with writing this review is that i don’t really have a word to describe this place. Perfect and awesome sounds too lame. I guess something like heavenly would be good. I have been to some consultations about braces before my dentist recommended this place. At other places I went to, the orthodontist was either not even interested in treating me unless I chose the insane route and had my perfectly healthy jaw bone sliced in half to correct my overbite. Or they just wanted to overcharge me for their service. Dr Kim did not do any of those standard shitty dentist/​orthodontist stuff. He was nice and understanding the whole time and wanted to work with what I felt was the correct way of doing it. Which was not slicing my healthy bones in half. But he has other, in my opinion much more normal and better solutions. I paid a very fair price and received service that was worth way more than I paid. I had braces on for 2 years and the results are absolutely beyond what I expected. I think it was beyond what Dr Kim expected too. I was a good patient, not the lazy kind who just wants to waste their money and then get no result. I wore what I had to and did my best to comply with everything I was asked. Any time I had any issue I was able to get a same day appointment and once he even went to the office on a weekend to take care of something for me.
The staff is also awesome. The assistants are friendly and do a great job. I never had any issues with the front desk people either, they could always schedule good appointment times for me and move appointments when needed or get me in on a short notice.

The best orthodontist. He is Awesome, Great Staff, very Friendly and grat at what he does. 5 Star Experience, every time :)

Hands down best orthodontist I’ve ever been to. Ever since I started going here, I love the orthodontist. They’re super gentle and very quick. All the people are super friendly and always smiling. Being around these people, I start to smile even more myself!

Dr Kim is amazing. He has a fantastic way with the kids. He wonderful with All of parents! Highly recommended! Wonderful experience!

Dr. Kim really has a great attitude. He and his staff are excellent. They make ripping out teeth fun. Plus they do great work and have a flexible payment plan for those of us who don’t have insurance.

Dr Kim is awesome! Katie don’t like having the braces but Dr Kim makes it fun and enjoyable.

Dr Kim and his staff are very friendly. Dr Kim is also very accommodating to busy schedules. I needed an emergency visit because my wire had come undone Saturday night and I was going out of town on Monday He came into the office to help me and another patient on Sunday evening.

Excellent office, orthodontist and staff
Highly recommend this office !
My daughter so excited to get braces

Love Dr. Kim and his staff. Braces weren’t fun, but he made the experience the best it could be.
Just got my braces off with good results. Thanks Dr. Kim!

Love coming here. The staff and Doctor Kim are the best and they make you feel so comfortable. I had my braces done here and love the way my teeth looks now. I just come in now to get my retainer check. Located right off the freeway so it’s easy access.

Dr. Kim always has the biggest smile on his face and makes sure to personally welcome everyone as they walk through the door. he is so energetic and so great to be around. he’s the happiest person I have ever met. He takes the time with his patients and you can tell he really cares about them. And my daughter’s teeth look fantastic. He made the 18 months feel like they flew by.

Dr. Kim and his staff get A+++ in my book. They are the most caring group of professionals I’ve ever encountered in dental related offices. (Trust me, I’ve been to maaaaaany, thanks to my crappy teeth.)
On one weekend, my daughter was experiencing some minor discomfort because her teeth had moved. When I left a message so that I can bring her in on following Mon., I received a call from Dr. Kim who offered to see her the very next day (Sunday, I think). Of course I declined to inconvenience him for something so minor but this is a classic example of how far he is willing to go to care for his patient. We are #1 on his mind! How often can you say that you feel that way when you walk into any medical/​dental facilities?
Thank you, Dr. Kim! You rock!

and his office are soooo sweet and professional. I used to be a patient of dr. newhart who ended up closing his office and was fraudulently advertising as a orthodontist. My bottom teeth had a gap in there that was so ugly.
fixed the gap and now my teeth are perfect. Thank you to you and your staff. You are the best!!!

Probably the best orthodontist out there. It was definitely the most enjoyable time I’ve ever had at a doctors office. And my teeth are amazingly straight now. Everything about my experience with him was wonderful.

This guy and place is just a classy family owned business. Dr. Kim is a UCLA dude and clearly knows his stuff, has great lounge side manners and puts kids/​adults at ease. He’s always smiling and his staff are very good at calling to remind about appointments. They are flexible and reasonably priced. They were $$$‘s less than what I was quoted from another Irvine Ortho and yet I feel they are equal or have exceeded in terms of quality and service. You won’t regret getting your chiclets straightened here or for your kids. Plus I love supporting cool small businesses.

My niece just went in to see Dr. Kim for her phase 1 of 2 and she is so excited. I havent seen kids so excited about something we used to dread when i was a kid, LOL… Well Sarah is going around school promoting and advertising for doc all over the place so even an 8 year old can see a great doc when she sees one! Great job guys!

I have been a patient of Dr. Kim’s for over a year now and here are my findings:
Dr. Kim is a good listener:
I wasn’t happy with the «performance» of one of my teeth and he listened and put extra effort into that tooth.
He is easy-​going and friendly:
He is always smiling and laughing and has a good attitude. I can’t say a single bad thing about Dr. Kim. He is always happy and has everything positive to say. It is an absolute pleasure to have an appointment with him.
He is a super genius and he knows everything about TEETH:
I have come to him with many questions and he has educated me and guided me in the right direction. He knows what he’s talking about and he is honest and realistic about treatment options.
He is very patient and understanding:
After obsessing about my one tooth moving another micro millimeter, he still smiled and tried to make me happy. Dr. Kim is the best doctor I could have found. I am so happy with his work and also his professionalism throughout my treatment. I am REALLY proud to refer anyone to Dr. Kim because I know he will do an A+ job.
This is to anyone who is looking for a great doctor with the heart of a teacher– Dr. Kim is 100% worth the effort of finding and making an appointment with. I don’t think he has ever let anyone down. I can’t wait until someone reads my review and gives him a call. I promise that you’ll want to write your own great review so others will believe us when we say…
You’re the best Dr. Kim!!!
