PATIENT REVIEWS

Need a tried-and-true orthodontist? Look no further, Dr Gerald Kim and staff (both Ala Moana and Pearlridge office locations) are a joy to work with. Warm, friendly, knowledgeable and professional. Both children (first my daughter, then my son) successfully completed their Invisalign treatments with Dr Kim. From my daughters initial consultation thru to my son’s last retainer fitting appointment we’ve been impressed with their excellent level of safety, service and care. Most recently, he stayed in close contact and on target with my son throughout this current Covid pandemic via a Dental Monitoring App.  I continue to recommend family and friends.

Dr.Kim & the team deserves more than 5 stars! We had nothing but an awesome experience during my son’s journey with braces. From the first consultation in 2018 we were already impressed.Thank you to the friendly staff! Knowledgeable & down to earth. We really appreciate Dr.Kim’s & the team’s efforts to be up to date with their younger patients,the communication was top notch and virtual “records” of progress was WOW!

I 10/10 recommend Kim Orthodontics! Dr. G and staff are super friendly, super thorough and overall gave me the best dental experience of my life. The staff is super patient, super helpful and always puts patient care as their main priority. Kim orthodontics has the latest and greatest technology and they were able to help me monitor my progress from home through the dental monitoring app. Go see Dr. Kim and staff and I promise you won’t regret it!

THANK YOU Dr. KIM and staff….it’s been almost 2 years..but WELL worth the wait! Blessed beyond words to have been referred to you! Because my children have very very short roots in their front teeth, many orthodontists said straightening their teeth couldn’t be done. With your patience and expertise and awesome brains it worked!! WE are so happy with Hailey’s teeth and it was such a wonderful experience for her! You and your staff were ALWAYS delightful to see and any time we had questions or concerns, you all were so helplful! THANK YOU for all that you have done for us! # 2 child will be starting his process next! Jan Silva, Mililani

Dr. Kim & staff are always so pleasant, friendly & encouraging. In ensuring health & safety of their patients during this pandemic, I noticed how they took great care in ensuring everything was sanitized after each patient, all the way from the check-in tablet to the doorknob of the office door. The technology they use is very impressive. It makes the process much simpler. I highly recommend Kim Orthodontics.

I have completed the full year of follow up of retainers, after the regular Invisalign process (which took me 1 year also). I was unable to see Dr. Kim for 18 months of the process because I moved to Washington, DC. But Dr. Kim gave me the instructions and support to keep the teeth looking good until I could get out for a year check up. I can’t overstate how accommodating Cathy was to my schedule challenges every time I flew in from the mainland for an appointment. I still hold my 5 star review, this is the place to be if you’re not just looking to get braces/Invisalign (Dr. Kim is the best) but to be treated like family by the entire staff!

Honestly the best decision I’ve made in my life was going with the Invisalign treatment it was so fast and I already saw a difference within months of wearing it. Dr. Kim and his team are the best! I had a horrible underbite and that would of required jaw surgery but with Dr. Kim all it took was rubber-bands to fix. I just finished my treatment last week and I could not be more happier with the results. I highly recommend invisalign they’re invisible, fast, and easy! You can also see what your teeth will look like after treatment from Day 1 after they scan it which is amazing and so motivating to work toward the best smile possible. They set you up with an appointment to feel everything out first, my twin sister and I were sold on the 1st meeting. Dr. Kim has an amazing team as well. As long as you put forth the effort to do what Dr. Kim asks of you the experience is enjoyable and rewarding. Kim orthodontics changed my life, they treat you like family and are more then accommodating of all your needs. I moved to Utah toward the end of my treatment and they were more then flexible with me on scheduling and mailing me things I needed. On a 1-5 scale (5 being the best) I’d rate them a 100. Such an amazing experience!

The best service and care you could ever ask for when choosing dental aligners. The staff is amazing, all of them no exceptions, they are prompt to respond to any inquiries, professional and very sweet. Dr. Kim is very professional and patient, he explained my treatment in entirety, what to expect from it and did so while showing me a virtual version of my teeth, really cool stuff. The two clinics, one in Honolulu and one in Aiea are very modern and very well equipped. Thank you for having me as a patient!

The best place about Kim Orthodontics is its staff. They always made the visits friendly and efficient. I had invisalign for about one year (after having had braces as a child and not wearing a retainer). Treatment was painless, private, and easy to manage while working two jobs and working on a college degree. Upon completion, Dr. Kim chiseled my teeth to make them nice and flat – a smile I’d never had even after braces the first time. I feel great and the results are wonderful. Highly recommend this team.

I just finished my Invisalign treatment and it was easy and simple and Dr. Kim and his team were very kind and encouraging. My teeth was a very complicated issue and so was my jaw. Thanks to them, my teeth are straight and my jaw was fixed without surgery. I am very thankful for Dr. Kim and his amazing team and I encourage anyone who needs braces or Invisalign to visit them.

Dr. Kim and his staff are personable, genuine, excellent, and overall AMAZING! Every visit I had with them was comfortable and an impressive experience! Also, my teeth look stunning! I’m getting a lot of compliments on them. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Dr. Kim is your #1 go-to ortho! And the staff is so friendly and easy to get along with. THANK YOU AGAIN DR. KIM. 😀

I never thought I was a candidate for Invisalign because I had A LOT of crowding on my bottom teeth but decided to get a consultation after seeing they had helped military folks before. So happy I did because now my smile is no longer an insecurity for me. Dr. Kim and his staff are so awesome, great customer service. The before and after pics blow my mind. Definitely worth the money.

I would recommend Kim Orthodontics to any and all of my friends and family. EXTREMELY friendly staff, they make sure you’re comfortable and make every visit very personal as far as treatment goes, and everyday life (remembering little things about you like if you told them about an event you were going to or just seeing how you’ve been, they’re very sincere. That’s is very important to me). I was very nervous about getting braces, but when I had my consultation, Dr. Kim and I explored all options and made me feel really comfortable when I expressed how nervous I was. It turned out that braces weren’t my best option (which made me happy because I initially went to another orthodontics who told me braces were the only option for me and I was hoping there was another option). I’ve been using Invisalign which has been going absolutely wonderful. He not only looks at what’s the best treatment at the time, but he looks well into the future for what is best in the long run for your teeth. This experience has inspired me to pursue my goals to go to dental school, so I thank them so much.

Dr. Kim and his staff are professional, timely, efficient, organized and friendly.  Dr. Kim spends the time to educate his clients so it is easy to understand what is involved and what his recommendations are.  The wait is always very short, if at all, and the office is always clean.  Dr. Kim did a wonderful job on my daughter’s teeth and she has a beautiful smile now!  We highly recommend Dr. Kim!

Dr. Kim and his staff have created the best office environment ever! I’ve noticed they truly care about each and every patient ( I went for a consult years ago and they still remembered me!) . The office is clean and bright. They value your time so you’re told how long your appointment will be,you get e-mail/text appointment reminders, they go over exactly what will be done and what you can expect- very detail oriented! Dr. Kim’s office is full of smiles ( nice ones since he IS an orthodontist) and all his staff are sweethearts. I actually look forward to going to a doctor’s office…a first!

Our daughter, Madison has so much to be grateful for! Her journey with Dr. Kim and his team over these years has been such a GREAT experience!!! All of the employees are so friendly and sincere. The work that was done to Madison’s teeth with Invisalign were just AMAZING and we are beyond pleased!!! Thank you again Dr. Kim for your personal and hands on approach in correcting our daughters Smile!!!!! We definitely recommend Kim Orthodontics for Invisalign or braces. Our daughter had both.

I was recommended Kim Orthodontics two years ago, after being bugged for years by my relatives about my protruding front teeth. At first, I was extremely hesitant since I heard a lot of horror stories on having braces growing up, the inconvenience and the pain. But, as I found out, it was neither. Dr. Kim and his staff were careful to be gentle, making the entire process very comfortable, and actually having the braces was not as painful as I expected. Now, after finally taking them off, I can say I don’t regret it. I’m smiling more often and I’m actually proud of it now. Thanks Dr. Kim and staff for everything!

Dr Kim and his entire team are the best! From the moment I stepped foot into the office I was welcomed by all, truly a fantastic experience from the start! I’m like many who had traditional braces in my teens and eventually stopped/lost my retainers. Over the many years (in my 40s) Ive notice my teeth shift to the point I wasn’t happy with my smile and decided to once again brave the idea of seeing a orthodontist. From my first meeting with Dr Kim I felt at ease as he explained everything in detail even the payment options! I was also thrilled to hear I wouldn’t have to make monthly visits?!?! Being a single mom with a FT job I don’t have much free time. My entire journey has been such a great experience and it went by so fast, practically pain free!!! Don’t get me wrong there was some discomfort but not to the point where I could eat and I love to eat! I highly recommend Dr Kim and his team!!! Thank you so much for giving me back my smile!

We are forever grateful to Dr Kim and his staff! We are happy we chose you. Everyone who works in the office and remotely are so kind, caring, and dedicated. You can tell everyone loves their job. They value your time so there is hardly to no wait time we experienced, and the clinics are super clean! Thanks everyone!!!!

My invisalign treatment is going towards the end that now I finally get to write a review. Dr.Kim and every single member are nicest, kindest and the most friendly people I’ve met. As time went by, I could definitely see the progress every time I look in the mirror and smile every once in a while. I’m very satisfied and happy that I made a good decision. I would definitely recommend my friends who want to have a better smile to get a treatment by Dr.Kim.

This is the first time I have written a review for anyone. I must say Dr. Kim and his team are the best I have seen, A++. They did great job on my over bite, 13 months ahead of schedule and the result is incredible. The staff is professional and very friendly manner. I had a great experience. I would recommend to all friends and family!

My daughter Allyson, who has special needs, was very well taken care of, as are my other two neuro typical children who are also currently wearing their Invisalign. Dr. Kim and his staff are patient and very kind, I would wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Kim and his amazing staff at both locations.

I came to Dr. Kim with an open bite-my front teeth did not touch, it was awful. I started seeing results with my treatment within a few weeks! It was very exciting. The dental monitoring program and process was smooth and easy to use. Any issues or questions I had were always responded to quickly, which I greatly appreciated! Everyone I encountered at the office was always welcoming and patient with me; I can’t thank them enough! I’m very happy that I came to Dr. Kim and now have my amazing smile.

It has been a tremendous three years challenges but thanks to Dr. Kim and kind staff, I was able to conquer my orthodontic treatments. My sincere gratitude for making my life comfortable. Arigato (thank you). Will miss seeing your smiling faces! M. Shitaoka

Just finished my treatment and all I can say about Kim Orthodontics is AMAZING. I had a lot of concerns before I started my treatment and how the payment plan worked since I’m a college student but Dr. Kim worked everything out with me and made this whole process very easy and enjoyable. He really cares about the patients and I’m glad I found Dr. Kim. Thank you Dr. Kim and his staff for giving me this amazing smile!!!

Dr.Kim and his team are the best, with great attention to detail to get you the best result and experience. My Invisalign experience with them is very smooth, much easier than I expected, it’s mainly because of Dr.Kim’s expertise and his well-trained staff. I was told by other doctors that my case was too difficult with Invisalign, but Dr.Kim got it done easily. I’m glad I did my research and chose Dr.Kim and his team, I highly recommend them!

I would definitely recommend Kim Orthodontics to anyone looking to improve their smile. I have been on invisalign treatment for almost a year and my teeth is already straight. Gerald is very knowledgable and explains the process clearly. The nurses and front desk staff are very friendly. My husband was also a patient many years ago as a child and he recommended I go to Kim Orthodontics. I’m glad he did.

I’m a 59 year old woman and never thought that I could restraighten my teeth. I had braces when I was a teenager and over the years, my teeth shifted to the point of affecting my bite. After my consultation with Dr. Kim, I was overjoyed that it was possible with Invisalign’s! In a little over a year my teeth were transformed to perfection. I’m now waiting for my retainers to come in and can’t believe how fast and painless this whole process was. I can’t thank Dr. Kim and his wonderful staff enough for for their kindness. I’ve never encountered such caring and professional people at any dentist. They made me feel so special at every visit, going to miss those hugs! I guess your never too old to wear Invisalign’s and have a beautiful smile! Michele H.

I’ve been with Kim Orthodontics for two years and let me tell you, I loved the experience! At first I was really insecure on how my teeth looked, they weren’t the greatest at all… it was something that always made me insecure and not want to smile. I wanted to find a orthodontist that is very good at what they do and Doctor Kim and his team has exceeded that expectation. Him and his team are always open with a big warm welcome when you come in, they always discuss further concerns I’ve had and worked with what I had. My teeth after this two year experience is way BETTER than I have expected. I totally recommend Dr.Kim if you are looking for a orthodontist that will exceed your expectations for your teeth needs!

From the minute I first walked into Dr. Kim’s office for my initial consultation, until my last retainer fitting appointment, I had an absolutely phenomenal experience with Dr. Kim and his staff. Dr. Kim and his staff are extremely professional, and always provide prompt communication, and clear and concise directions. Results were on point, and my overall Invisalign experience was smooth and seamless. Dr. Kim tailors each treatment to the individual patient. For me, this included individually shaping/shaving several of my teeth, one by one. Dr. Kim’s passion, attention to detail, and skillset combine to produce fantastic results. I couldn’t imagine utilizing a different orthodontist. Dr. Kim is hands down second to none. The biggest Thank You to Dr. Kim and his staff!

My Invisalign journey was completed 18 months out of the 20 months expected and I have never felt more confident in my smile! Once you walk into Kim’s Orthodontics, your always greeted with a smile from the team. Great gifts are given once you begin and once you end your Invisalign journey to celebrate! I’m glad that they have implimented a new form of communicating with patients through texting, making it an easier experience and being able to send reminders to a place where it is excessable at all times! My experience here always left me in a good mood, and I felt that all my questions and concerns have been fulfilled. Thank you Kim Orthodontics and team for my new smile and the great amount of positivity through out my journey !

Kim Ortho is truly an amazing place. If you’ve been thinking of Invisalign I highly recommend this establishment. From the very first consultation I knew I picked the right place for all my teeth straightening needs. I can’t begin to say enough good things about the staff. They are very knowledgable and some of the friendliest people I’ve ever met! Also they have been very flexible with scheduling appointments. As a member of the military I was always having to cancel and reschedule appointments, sometimes last minute (Sorry guys!) but they worked with me w/o issue. Two convenient locations and very efficient making appointments go by quickly with never any wait time in my experiences with them. Now the most important part; the results. Personally I think my teeth were pretty messed up before I started the whole process. Just a little over a year later and it’s unbelievable how great they look now. I’m super happy with the results and a lot more confident in my new smile. Seriously the whole process has been such a pleasure with this great professional team at Kim Ortho. Again, just an amazing staff overall, state of the art equipment, flexibility, and incredible results what more could you ask for?

Kim orthodontics has been hands down one of the most professional, best customer service experiences I have ever had. They have everything you need in their one office so you don’t have to go back an fourth between them and your regular dentist. They have the most amazing staff and Dr. Kim is just too good. They really made a strong rapport with me. When I walk into the office they know me by name, remember things about me that I’ve mentioned, and always greeting me with hugs. I can call them at any time and they are always extremely helpful. You can’t find customer service like this anymore. Truly great experience, I recommend this to anyone.

Dr. Gerald Kim and his entire staff are wonderful and friendly. They make visits pleasant and stress-free. Dr. Kim is knowledgeable and professional who strives to deliver the best result. His office is very clean and inviting. I also enjoy the “text scheduling” option which is very convinent. My overall 2 year experience has been very pleasant, so I would highly recommend Kim Orthodontics!

Dr. Kim and his staff (Patricia, Cathy, and Faye) are awesome! They provide excellent service, are extremely kind and patient, and knowledgeable. Dr. Kim is a very competent doctor. He explains everything in detail and takes the time to insure that patients fully understand the process of Invisalign. He’s so warm and convincing that it was easy to complete the necessary steps toward straight teeth and a better smile. He’s also a sweet and cute person…so it was a pleasure going to office visits. Anyway, I want to thank them for the excellent care and service and I will recommend Dr. Kim to others who seek a great looking smile. Mahalo!
