I want to share my experience in Dr Lim’ Office. I ‘ be been looking for an HONEST dentist and I finally found one. I needed treatment in my gums because I had issues from a while. I had spend a lot of money and time and it was not getting nothing better. They always overcharge me but I trusted and paid … I had long history of disappointments. Dr Lim was recommended by my co-worker and I really needed to go since I was already having pain again. Going to her office was the best thing I ever did ! I truly can tell you she is the best. She is so caring, knowledgeable fast and efficient. She did the gum surgery at my first visit. She explained and educated me how to take care of myself. It was a pretty big procedure but she knows her work, and she was very comforting and reassuring. Now She is my Dentist for ever. I am completly recovered from my issues and I am in a stage of only maintenance cleaning. I am so relieved. I strongly recommend Dr Lim. She is Honest, Efficient and so smart and her fee are very reasonable and you GET results!

I strongly recommend Dr. Lim, for all dental related issues. I started going to Dr. Lim last year for a check up. It’s been years since I’ve been to a dentist, my experience with other dentist have not been great. Right from the start Dr. Lim makes you feel comfortable, she’s professional, caring, funny and has a great sense of humor. She explains in great detail and recommends which treatment you need to receive. She also shows you videos that talk about the treatment she recommends. I’m so happy I found her.

★★★★★

This Dentist was recommended to me by my family because she is so detailed and thorough in her work. I drive from Sherman oaks to Monterey Park because I love her level of service! She is among the best!  Over the years I have been to dentists that I had to return for them to properly complete failed dental work i.e.  filling came out or tooth not shaved evenly, so my “bite” is off. I have never had to return to this dentist to fix a mistake. I don’t have to waste my time returning unnecessarily because she does such great work the first time. It’s a boutique dental office with easy parking and everyone is nice. It’s takes much longer for me to get there from Sherman oaks but it’s worth it because I know I’m getting it done right!

Ann B. from Central LA, Los Angeles, CA (Source: Yelp)

★★★★★

Doc Lim is the best Dentist we ever have since we moved in LA. She cares a lot about her patients that she takes time to study each photo/xray to know how she can help the patient have a healthy teeth/mouth. Root Canal, ScalingRootPlaning, Filling, Wisdom tooth removal… she makes sure patient is comfortable and as much as possible, painless!!!

★★★★★

Dr. Lim is a caring, compassionate dentist doctor I ever met, I’ve been her patient since 2014 and I’m so glad I am able to be her patient. She’s worked on me from implant to root canal, she is great! she’ll educate you on how to really self care on your teeth. Don’t wait for your teeth you get worse and have unbearable pain, it’s best to take care of them now before it’s too late to save the tooth

★★★★★

My family has been going to Dr. Lim for a few years now. We have had the regular cleanings, cavity repair, crowns and pulled teeth. She is a wonderful dentist. She always had great energy and enthusiasm and she is methodical and thorough. My kids actually like going to see her now, even after a few procedures that required numbing. She talks you through every step and always gives you extra stuff to help with your hygiene. Her assistant Bianca is very nice, makes you feel like you are an important person and is really caring. I have been to a lot of dentists because I have never felt comfortable and I am glad we finally found one that is so dedicated, knowledgeable and kind.

★★★★★

My husband had major teeth & gum disease & ostheisporisis problems, our dentist of many years recommended that he needed to have 7 teeth removed, he referred us to an oral surgeon in Pasadena. Long story short after removing 7 teeth at once, there many complications & a friend referred my husband to Dr. Lim, for a 2nd opinion. Dr. Lim took the time to explain issues on hand & begun to treat the gum disease by adding special antibiotics to the gum which kills the bacteria. Today my husband’s gum are healthier, has a partial denture that fits right & comfortable & able to eat. We spent lots of money to removed 7 teeth without treating the gum disease first. We are so happy that we went for a 2nd opinion with Dr. Lim, if we had not done so, my husband would have lost more teeth & have a serious problems with his osteoporosis. Dr. Lim was very concerned & has done an excellent job and her fees are not that expensive as I was expecting. She is now our family dentist including our kids & have referred many friends. I highly recommend her.

★★★★★

Dr. Lim is one of the best dentist I’ve ever met. She has so much care with her patients. And she really wants you to become more comfortable even she’s pulling your tooth. Also, she like to compile every single procedure that she’s been doing. And that’s definitely amazing. She take a look on it, review everything and will remind you that you need to take action of that particular thing. Thank you Dr. Lim and to your staffs. I will definitely come back to your clinic.

I would like to start by saying Dr Lim is God sent. I read a story in elAviso about a man who had similar bad experiences in the past with dental work and how he found Dr Lim and how she helped him,that’s how I found Dr Lim. When I met her I felt such comfort,care, she explained everything in detail and did not scare me off she said we are going to work together a little at a time. Never had any other dentist said that to me, right away in past they would jump by saying I need major work done in the end they didn’t fix the problem they just made money on my pain. Believe me when I say Dr Lim is God sent. Her staff as well very caring Bianca thank you. Please if you’ve also had bad experience with trying to find a caring Dentist,that really wants to help you,please go see Dr Lim. Thank you Dr Lim for being so caring.

I have been going to different dentist to try to resolve an issue I had and I was getting frustrated and one of my friend recommend me to Dr Lim . From the first day I met her I fell in love with her. She not only found the problem but also fixed me in a permanent way that I don’t need to worry any more for that tooth. You will find her very professional and so thorough to explain the problem , then the treatment plan to resolve the problem, she is so smart and so well trained. So far the entire work she did from the little work like fillings and all the way to Implant. She is my Super Dentist. I want to say Thank you Dr Lim for being there for me. If you have been frustrated for the dental works, I strongly recommend Dr Lim in Pacific Ocean Dental Group, You will love her.

I’ve known Dr. Lim for 5 years and she is one the most dedicated dentists I’ve met. She has more advanced training than all the dentists I’ve visited before. I had to pull a tooth at a different previous office, they did not explain the details of the issues that happened without grafting and socket preservation. She corrected the issue with Grafting – she has advanced education in Perio and the results have made me happy.

The thing is..you’re always looking for a doctor who actually cares, and here, I’ve finally found one. She’s kind and goes the extra mile for your dental care. Dr Lim listens to my concerns and gives me options. She never makes me feel uncomfortable and while working she checks up on me several times to make sure I’m not experiencing any discomfort. I personally wouldn’t go anywhere else unless recommended by Dr Lim. She’s our family dentist now ���

Dr. Lim is the real deal. She is thorough, warm, patient, and extremely knowledgeable regarding her practice. I was impressed by her multi-cultural approach and technical prowess in handling a wide array of patients from differing backgrounds. There’s a specialized non-invasive camera she uses (unlike any other I’ve seen before) to examine your teeth WHILE you’re able to look watch the examination screen with her. She’s willing to go the extra step to answer questions you may have about what you see on the screen mid-procedure. She is most certainly not one of those dentists who either a) treats you like a number or b) babbles incessantly. I highly recommend her office. And a special shout-out to Bianca, the dental assistant. She turned my coffee-stained tusks into pearly things. Thank you again, Dr. Lim and Bianca.

I have been going to this dental group for the past few months and overall my experience has been great. The dentist Dr. Lim is kind and works well with my teeth. When I first came here, I had not gone to a dentist in a long time and though the first work on my teeth was painful, Dr. Lim has helped me through the process in having a healthier stronger teeth. Since then, whenever I go for a visit for work on my teeth I don’t feel much at all and my teeth are in much better condition than they have ever been in years. In one of my most recent visits I had two of my wisdom teeth removed, and though it’s not the greatest thing to go through, Dr. Lim and her assistance did a good job in the procedure soon going back to a regular routine after the surgery. As a whole I feel that this is a good dental facility and that Dr. Lim as well as her assistance are well trained in the dental field and will work with you to having healthy teeth

Best dentist ever! She is very gentle and explains everything that’s going on. She always tries to make you feel as comfortable as possible. I have always been scared of dentists but she completely changed that. I trust her with all my dental work and I trust her opinion.

I must say, I have always had a great fear of dentists. So much so, that I avoided dentists at all cost. Consequently, I became irresponsible with my teeth and mouth’s health. Going in to Dr Lim’s office, I went in with the same mentality, but to my surprise, she and her staff have definitely made me think different. From the courteous and professional treatment received by the staff, to Dr. Lim’s thorough and detailed approach, and finally, her impeccable execution. Completely grateful I found Pacific Ocean Dental Group. You need a good dentist? This is the place!

Dr. Lim is a not only a quality dentist but a quality person. I have been going to her office exclusively for years because she has demonstrated professionalism , patience, and expertise. I have recommended Pacific Ocean Dental to my coworkers, friends and most importantly the people that I love and cherish the most… my family. If you want a dentist that makes you feel safe and comfortable and if you want to remove the anxiety of going to the dentist, pay Dr. Lim a visit !!

Best experience ever! Dr. Lim and her staff are extremely helpful and really care about their patients. Dr. Lim takes her time to explain procedures and details beforehand. She will also recommend other options. Never had this type of service at another dental office and I’m glad I was referred here. Thank you Dr. Lim and staff!

Dr. Lim, is hands down the best dentist. I’ve actually been to another dentist within the past year for an emergency visit and I will honestly say I wish I would have been able to see her instead. She explains everything you need and will even show you in your xrays. She’s very open and honest which is very rare in the dental field. I should know, I’ve been in the field for 20 + years and I will always come to her for mine and my familys dental needs. She has a very gentle hand, I am very anxious when it comes to visiting the dentist but she always puts me at ease when I’m in her office. My son could only be seen by a pedodontist because he is also anxious and apprehensive at the dentist. He saw her last week for a filling. Wow, I was amazed at how cooperative he was and she didn’t even numb him!! I refer my family ,friends and co workers to her. Lol, I even referred a nurse while visiting the emergency room one day.

After many years of not going to the dentist, I was referred to Dr. Lim thru my wife who came upon her by chance. I have since changed my entire outlook on dentistry because of Dr. Lim and consider her our family dentist for life. She is extremely friendly, open and gentle in her approach. When I needed her for an emergency, she was there for me and my family. I can’t say enough how wonderful she is and what an amazing dentist she is. Strongly recommend and without hesitation.

Her heroes have always been dentists. Ever since she met her first one when she was a 12-year-old girl in Seoul, South Korea, Dr. Lim wanted to be just like them. So, as it turns out, did her older sister, who also became a dentist. Since earning her Doctor of Dental Surgery in 1992, Dr. Lim has continued to stay on top of the latest dental trends and techniques. She holds a Master's Degree in Periodontology and has received additional training in Cosmetic Veneers and Dental Implants. A big believer in community service, Dr. Lim spends much of her spare time helping others through programs such as, Meals on Wheels, Lestonnac Free Clinic, and Care Harbor. She also enjoys painting Korean folk art, reading, swimming, dancing and golfing.
