Steve D Kim, DDS

Before Dr. Kim, my mom set me up with a dentist in Ridgewood which ended up being a complete nightmare. Long story short: I paid $ 550 for two fillings, one of which I was never even told needed to/​was going to be filled. After that, I never wanted to go to a dentist again, out of fear of getting ripped off alone.
Then I found Dr. Kim. *Cue angelical music*
Not only is Dr. Kim affortable to those who don’t have dental insurance, ($ 120 for a cleaning, about $ 100 for fillings depending on how big the cavity is) he’s also very gentle, not too chatty (worst thing ever: when dentists try to make small talk with their hands in your mouth) and keeps you well informed as to what’s going on. My prior dentists would just tell me I had a cavity. Dr. Kim actually gets a mirror and shows me where the cavity is, demonstrates its depth, and asks if I’d like to get it filled today or make an appt for a future date.
It’s a small operation — he has one other employee who is his receptionist/​assistant, she’s also very friendly and helpful. His quaint office only has a couple of rooms, which I prefer to the larger dentist offices I’ve been to before.
Overall, I would definitely reccommend Dr. Kim. He has a new patient special for $ 99 that includes your initial exam, cleaning & x-​rays. Give him a try, he’s a great dentist.

Dr Kim is a most competent and kind dentist. his background for dentistry is unique coming from metallurgical engineering at Carnegie Mellon University and dental school at Columbia University. he truly understands the chemistry of keeping your teeth healthy. he is also very gentle and kind with understanding dental pain and fear. truly a unique combination.

I am going to rate 5 because I had a great experience here. The doctor and his help are really nice, friendly. He was not in a rush, I did a regular check, X-​rays and gave me quote over the phone that was the actual amount I paid at the end. I will return :)
