PATIENT REVIEWS

We highly recommend Dr. Lim!  Our 11 year old daughter has been a patient since November 2015, when she received Phase 1 braces.  Our daughter’s orthodontic treatment was excellent, and the end result exceeded our expectations.  She enjoyed the office visits and became fond of the staff, who are exceptional – professional, friendly and kind.  Every aspect of the experience was consistent with what Dr. Lim presented in our agreement.  Our total cost covered all aspects of Phase 1 treatment, including retainers and follow-up visits – a worthy value of the quality treatment.  Our daughter is SO happy and tells us regularly that she is grateful to have gone through the process. We would not change our decision or one thing about her treatment with Dr. Lim.

I was visiting LA and thankfully found the kindest orthodontist ever! My two nieces and I were in town and the older one has braces. The bracket on her bottom last tooth came loose and the wire was sticking out causing it to dig in her gums/cheek. We had just arrived in LA and were not due to go back home for another 5 days. After several failed attempts trying to find an orthodontist who could fit us in last minute, I found Dr. Roger Lim. I called the office and spoke to the sweet and friendly Jennifer and explained our dilemma/drama. She spoke to Roger Lim and I was asked to take my niece in ASAP. As soon as we got there we were greeted and welcomed in the nicest manner and were in and out within 20 minutes. Dr. Lim took the bracket off and cut the wire down and gave us some wax to cover the end part of the wire. I had a very happy niece who could now eat and be her usual self. I can not thank Dr. Lim and his staff enough for saving the day and our trip to LA. The way we were treated was 5⭐️ and with the upmost kindness. Thank you sooooo much.

Dr. Lim is great. I had a severe case of crowded teeth, and I was in my late twenties. I was afraid the severity and my age could complicate things, but Dr. Lim did a great job straightening everything out! The Doctor and staff will take good care of you. I am glad I chose Dr. Lim to be my orthodontist! My only regret was not coming sooner!

Dr. Lim and his staff are incredibly friendly, professional and take their time explaining any procedure and providing options. My son has autism and sensory disorders and he has no problem sitting still and following the doctor’s or nurse’s instructions. They are very patient with him and explain everything, making sure he understands every point. The pricing and pay options are clearly stated and worth every cent. My son actually likes to show his teeth in a wonderful, confident smile now. Thanks Dr. Lim!!

Dr. Lim is absolutely the best in the business, and I did my research. I met with five different orthodontists in the San Fernando Valley before selecting Dr. Lim, and it was a great decision. He gives wonderful service to his patients, his office operates incredibly efficiently, and the entire staff, including Dr. Lim, are the nicest people. You won’t be sorry, and the beautiful smile is worth it.

I consulted another yelp-favorite orthodontist in Santa Monica before deciding to go with Dr. Lim. I made the perfect choice. He’s local. He knows what he’s doing. His staff are so friendly. There’s usually no wait at his office (at least as far as I am concerned.) Dr. Lim is the most gentle person/orthodontist. He’s so very patient and nice.It’s easy to trust him and feel that you are in good hands. You’ll never feel that you are being rushed out the door at his office.And you won’t get that feeling “oh I am just another patient, who really cares?” And BEST part is that my teeth already looked noticeably straighter after only about 6 weeks. Family and friends saw pictures and couldn’t help but notice and comment on the improvement.I was thrilled. After about 10 months, I look at before braces photos and  can’t believe that was me.lol This is the best decision I’ve ever made for myself. Thank you, DR. Lim!!

Dr. Roger Lim and his staff are simply the BEST! At 26-years-old I still come in for check-ups on my retainers. They are very welcoming – each time I am greeted with the most friendly smiles and hellos. I will never go anywhere else. I even joke that I wish I had braces all over again so I can see Dr. Lim and his staff more often. They are prompt with their appointment times,  very attentive to my needs and always helpful. I highly recommend going to Dr. Lim. He is very knowledgable. It is very obvious they care about their patients. Thanks Dr. Lim and Staff!

Dr. Lim and his staff are all wonderful.  I was an Invisalign patient of his over the course of 13 months… and I just got my buttons removed today!  Dr. Lim and the girls were always smiling and happy to see me.  They were very attentive to my needs and were always helpful.  If a button (kind of like a bracket) would pop off due to popcorn eating or whatever else… they would promptly fit me into their schedule and fix it. After removing my buttons today Dr. Lim even gave me a ‘hollywood finish’ by buffing down a few of my teeth that were straight, but just naturally a little longer than the others, making them super symmetrical and perfect.  I appreciate that he took the time to do that, especially because he didn’t have to.  I will miss coming in every 6 weeks to see everyone!  Of the multiple appointments I have had, I think only ONCE did I have to wait in the waiting room.  They are usually very prompt.  Happy and confident with my new smile~~I can’t help but show off my gorgeous ‘hollywood’ teeth at every turn.  🙂  Thanks Dr. Lim!

My son and I LOVE not only Roger Lim, but everyone in his office!!! Maximus had not only braces, but expanders put on at 9yrs old and they made the experience very loving. It’s not fun to get all that work done, yet my son actually ‘likes’ going in to get new colored bands put on : ))) He did red and blue bands to match his white teeth for the 4th of July. Next, October: orange and black for Halloween LOL! I wouldn’t take him anywhere else!!

We’ve been working with Dr. Roger Lim since 2000. He takes excellent care of not only our patients, but also my staff and my family. We’ve completed cases as simple as teeth rotations all the way to all-out orthognathic surgery with him! Extremely reliable and experienced US Diplomate level orthodontist! Jimmy Slamat, DDS, Dental Arts Dentistry, Los Angeles, CA.

My son has been a patient of Dr Lim’s for over a year now. I couldn’t say enough positive things about both Dr. Lim as a doctor and his office staff in their efficiency and competence. My older daughter had a different orthodontist, so I have something very recent to compare. When I asked around for new recommendations, Dr Lim’s name came up multiple times. Dr. Lim is always available to talk to me, the sometimes nervous mother, with patience and kindness. He will explain the process and procedures needed very clearly, making sure both my son and I understand every necessary step along the way. Whenever we have had a broken brace or crisis of any kind, the office staff is quick to squeeze us in if necessary. My son is always brought in to be worked on within minutes of his arrival and the staff start immediately. Dr Lim has a wonderful bedside manner, and he never forgets to pop his head out to say hello to me if I am waiting in the waiting room. I love the personal attention we receive from Dr Lim and his staff. Orthodontics is a huge decision for a family. The very fair competitive pricing at this office should make a visit a must. I’m sure you will be as pleased as we are. Good luck!.

Just left….new update!!! I LOVE THEM SOOOO MUCH!!!! They ALWAYS go beyond the call of duty!!!!! Considerate, Kind, Attentive, Thoughtful…. and they pay special attention to each client!!! My daughter wanted a certain design with her bands on her braces today and THEY DID IT!!!! They are ARTIST too!!!! They are truly the best and worth every penny!!! After I finish with my daughter, I’m bringing my son!!! LOVE Dr.Lim!!!!!! LOVE his staff!!!!! They always take really great care of my baby girl and they do it with a smile!!!! Very professional … but still personable!!!! Waiting time is short but there are all sorts of fun things to do in the waiting room. There’s a video for my daughter to watch while they are working on her. And they let me come back with her!!!! I JUST LOVE THEM!!!!

Dr. Lim is probably the nicest medical professional I have ever had the pleasure of being involved with. He was honest and upfront about the type of treatment I would need. I was hoping for invisilign but I actually needed braces and a couple oral surgeries. I was told when I was younger that I needed surgery but I was hoping that wouldn’t be the case now. Once I got my head wrapped around that I was good to go.  He is gentle and friendly. He never calls me or any other patient by anything other than my name. The only bad thing I could say about his office is its a little disorganized. I switched from the Alhambra office to the Sherman Oaks one and it took 3 visits before all of my payment and medical info was transported over. Not a big issue. They are super nice, though.

Dr. Lim is a brilliant orthodontist. He is also kind, informative and sensitive. He treats his patients, their parents, and his team with respect. He communicates with ease and care. He exudes confidence without the arrogance of other orthodontists we interviewed. He is honest regarding course of treatment and pricing. His office is filled with skilled, like minded professionals, features the latest technology, they operate on time, and parking is a cinch! We look forward to each visit and update on my daughter’s progress. We are grateful to our friend who recommended him, and her son (who has completed treatment) and has a gorgeous smile!

We have been in to see Dr. Roger twice now. The first time when my kids were 8 years old. I loved how honest he was. He said my kids were fine for now and come back in six months. I was shocked. I guess I thought we were going to be told, oh yeah your kids need this and that…but nope not the case with him. We came back six months later and our son is still ok for now. So happy to hear that. However our daughter has an overjet and a little bit of a cross bite which I noticed when she was a baby. You could tell her top gums went much further over her bottom ones. We talked about how to correct it and my husband and I feel very confident in Dr. Roger. The price seemed like the going rate too and his office offers in house payment options with no interest for those that need it. His staff is just wonderful too. Very pleasant and easy to talk to.

My son just got his braces off and his teeth look great. Dr. Lim and his office couldn’t have made the entire process easier. My son never complained of pain after getting his braces adjusted. We never had a wait for his appointments, there is a free parking lot and free street parking, they have tvs and electronics for the kids. When choosing an orthodontist don’t overlook these conveniences, as you will have regular appointments. We were always in and out of his office very quickly. The few occasions he had a poking wire they had him come in right away and fixed the problem. The staff is all very friendly and professional. They send text appt reminders which I found helpful. Dr Lim is well respected, knowledgeable, patient, and always happy to answer questions. His office has the newest and best equipment also. When deciding which orthodontist to use, as there are many good ones in the area, I decided on Dr Lim because his office was the most convenient without long waits, his price was lower than his competitors, and his office along with his wife’s dental practice is a huge supporter of local schools. I have no regrets and my younger son will also go to Dr Lim when he needs braces.

It has now been about 2 years after I had my Invisalign done by Dr. Roger Lim, and I am very satisfied with the results – very straight top and bottom teeth! Dr. Lim took time to explain to me the condition of my teeth, and what the entire Invisalign process would be, and outlined the differences between going for a traditional braces versus Invisalign. He also assisted me in picking the right type of treatment for me based on my needs. Very good bedside manner, knowledgeable and great at what he does! The office is very clean with a good selection of amenities. The staff is also very friendly and helpful, which made making making appointments and payments very easy and efficient. Definitely two thumbs up for Dr. Roger Lim and his staff. Thank you for giving me my smile back!

My daughter had her orthodontic treatment with Dr. Lim for the past 2 years. She just removed her braces and loves her new smile. As a parent I can add that we had great experience throughout the entire treatment. From consultation, financial arrangements to follow up visits everything was always organized and managed properly. Dr. Lim and his staff are very professional and polite. We will be a returning customers for my son’s treatment very soon.

A little bit more expensive than other orthodontists I researched, but totally worth it and very happy with the results. Dr. Lim uses the most updated equipment, so there’s no messy molds or discomfort for the child on that end when prepping. The braces themselves were great, only mild discomfort, and no old-school retainers. They mimic Invisalign. He even has whitening product you can use with the retainers to whiten the child’s teeth once the braces are off! The staff is great and always on time, and Dr. Lim is kind and patient.

Dr. Lim is wonderful.  From his bedside manner to the care he provides, we couldn’t be happier. He takes the time to get to know his patients, and their parents.  He is conversational, gentle and extremely knowledgeable.  He breaks down the treatment and goals in a way that is easy to understand.  Dr. Lim’s rates are very reasonable and he worked with us to come up with an affordable payment plan.  He gave us a rate for the whole treatment, so we didn’t have to worry about added expenditures along the way. His office is beautifully done, decorated to please both children and adults.  When you walk in, he has video games for kids to use while waiting, but his staff is so prompt and friendly, the wait time is usually short.  Head into the examination room where there are televisions over every chair for kids to either watch movies or play video games such as Angry Bird.  For any annoying or painful procedures (like impressions or tightening wires), the kids don’t even complain, they are distracted with the TV. There is a computer at each chair where Dr. Lim can show you what the plan is, or the progress you have made. There is a separate, private examination room for adult patients.    Dr. Lim is available for emergencies and very accommodating with his schedule.  He has a fun website where the kids can play with what colors for their bands to be. I had braces in Junior High.  When I was told my elementary school children should be assessed, I was skeptical.  But after seeing the results of the treatment, I am so glad we did not wait.  In one year, my daughter had her braces on and now off, with an amazing smile.   My son is still wearing braces, and month by month, you can see the transformation.  I feel that our investment in Dr. Lim’s treatment has made a world of difference in our children’s lives.  They have increased confidence and feel good about themselves. I highly recommend Dr. Lim.  You will not be disappointed!

Dr. Lim takes great care of my daughter’s orthodontic needs. We were referred by Dr. To, also wonderful who’s office we have been going to since it was under Dr. Osman. We were referred to her almost 16 years ago when my oldest daughter had a traumatic experience with another awful dentist. Our kids have all loved going to the dentist ever since we found Dr. Lim and Dr. To… which is far different from the experience I had growing up. How did they accomplish this? Make an appointment for your child and you will surely find out. The office staff are also very accommodating, professional, and amazing. Thank you so much for taking such great care of our girls’ smiles!

I just finished my 18 months of Invisalign braces with Dr. Lim. This has been a wonderful experience. It could not have gone better. Dr. Lim and his staff are caring, professional and wonderful. I have not any a single issue and my teeth turned out fantastically. I now have the perfectly straight teeth I dreamed of having just 18 months ago. I can’t stop smiling I am so happy. Dr. Lim is soft spoken and kind. One could not ask for a more caring person.

My husband and I consulted  a number of orthodontists before going with Dr. Lim.  We are both undergoing Invisalign treatment.  I am nearly done and am very pleased with the results. For both of us, appointments have been easy to schedule and are very quick.  The staff gets you in, out, and on your way.  Not in a rushy sort of way just in an efficient sort of way.  Dr. Lim and the staff are very friendly.  Everything was explained to us up front very thoroughly and they took time to answer all my questions.  The payment terms were very clear and the pricing is very good.  I have no hesitations recommending Dr. Lim.

Love this office. My daughter was referred to Dr. Lim by her regular dentist.  I can’t speak highly enough about Dr. Lim and his amazing staff.  After her first consultation, she was told to come back after she had lost all of her baby teeth.  We went back in 19 months ago and we opted for Invisaligns.  The second consultation was great.  Dr. Lim explained everything and was so knowledgeable.  We began the treatment and 19 months later, her teeth are straight.  Every time we went into the office, the staff greeted us and there was NO wait.  It was easy to get an emergency appointment and easy to change appointments.  The staff is SO flexible.  I would recommend Dr. Lim to anyone looking to perfect their smile.  It was such a pleasurable experience.

Dr. Lim has been working with my son for the past 1-1/2. I am so impressed with the work that he has done. When we first came in, my son had a pretty severe gap which made his speech difficult as well as difficult to eat. Dr. Lim is literally one of the kindest, gentlest, soft spoken and knowledgeable orthodontist I’ve ever met! My kids and I love him so much, and we are feeling a little sad knowing our time working with him will soon be coming to an end. If you are looking for a great orthodontist who will answer all of your questions and treat your child with respect, kindness and top notch service…Dr. Lim is the man for you! Big shout out to his staff as well, because they’re always amazing too!

Dr. Lim is so knowledgeable and we are so grateful to have him as our daughter’s orthodontist. He is kind and patient. He really helped to transform my daughter’s smile and boost her confidence. Her teeth were so twisted and he knew just what to do and what would be the most effective course for her to go. The front office receptionist is very nice and broke down the payment for the braces on an easy to read printout with a few different payment options for us to consider. The nurse staff is also so sweet and funny, my daughter and I love coming to this office for her orthodontist treatment and will definitely recommend to others. My other daughter will be getting braces next week and we are also taking her to Dr. Lim’s office. Also the parking lot is free and easy to navigate!

Dr. Lim did a miracle job fixing my teenage daughter’s teeth & my”Cougar Mom’s” deteriorating dental alignment!  She had severe overcrowding above the gum line (which was affecting how her facial features were developing,) and my teeth were slightly  collapsing and compromising the integrity of my dental implants. We consulted with 3 local orthodontists and are fortunate to have selected Dr. Lim! The USC credentials, knowledgeable staff and well run office are emblematic of the high level of professional treatment provided! He is transforming the (818) into a better place one mouth at a time! RandieLaineK.-Studio City.

My nine-year old son is completing treatment for a pronounced cross bite. He had a 3D computer model done of his mouth and jaw, then Dr. Lim explained everything clearly to me and, most importantly, my son in terms that he could understand. My kids love the video games in the front office and the choice of videos once they’re in the chair. My kids actually LOOK FORWARD to visits to the orthodontist!!! I love that Dr. Lim and all his staff are friendly, attentive, professional, and accommodating to our busy schedules. I also love the system of appointment reminders that include emails and texts – always useful when we’re running around a mile a minute! Thanks for everything, Dr. Lim!

Dr. Lim and the staff at his office are great. My daughter has a different orthodontist and because I am dissatisfied with that orthodontist and his team, I decided to choose a different orthodontist for my son. I first went to Dr. Lim a year ago, but my son had too many baby teeth to get braces. Dr. Lim’s office sent a follow up email a year later inviting me to return to see how things were progressing. Things had progressed and my son got braces last week. The staff is professional, courteous, and friendly. Dr. Lim is knowledgeable, friendly and patient. He answered all my questions. The office is designed with young patients in mind. There are video games and televisions to entertain patients. Although I have to say, we did not have much of an opportunity to utilize these things because Dr. Lim and his team are quick and efficient. There was very little wait time. I highly recommend Dr. Lim.

My son has a rare condition wherein a few of his baby teeth will not come off naturally in his growing years nor permanent teeth will be growing on their place once extracted. With this, the baby teeth and a couple of permanent teeth had to be be taken out and braces will be used to even out the teeth for him to have a normal bite. Dr. Roger Lim and his staff made the ordeal lighter. He was very accomodating and patient in answering all my concerns. My son feels so comfortable in his clinic, it’s like another home for him for more or less 3 years. His braces have now been taken off and we can’t be any happier with the result. Dr. Lim is absolutely the Orthodontist I will bring my child to and recommend to everyone who need expert care. Thank you Dr. Lim and all the staff you are all awesome.

Dr. Lim and his stuffs are simply the BEST! It was my second time doing braces… They went over everything I need to make sure I understand. If you have any questions, they are more than happy to answer your questions! I lived in Sherman oaks but I needed to stay in San Gabriel for a month. Since they have an office in Alhambra, they allow me to come in their Alhambra location for that month. They are very flexible and nice! I’m so glad I did my brace here:). If you need to get braces, do it with Dr. Lim!

I was visiting LA and thankfully found the kindest orthodontist ever! My two nieces and I were in town and the older one has braces.

Both of my girls just recently completed her ortho and now, they have perfect smiles for their recent graduation. Thank you Dr. Lim and friendly staff. Another amazing quality of Dr Lim is also very generous doctor helped his community in need … he had helped my daughters throughout all her fundraising. Thumbs up for Dr Lim.

I told my dentist (Dr. Cajulis) that I have always wanted to fix my bite but that so far no orthodontist I had seen was confident about being able to help me. My dentist recommended Dr. Lim to me and after reading the great reviews about him on Yelp, I decided to give it a try. Dr. Lim’s office is really quite amazing. There is a setup of PSPs in the waiting area (I don’t play games myself but I can imagine many would enjoy it while waiting – although so far I haven’t had to wait at all). Furthermore, he has television screens on the ceiling above every patient chair (even the patient chair inside his office) where you can browse through everything from Netlix and Hulu to Pandora.  The office is really made for you to feel comfortable. The receptionist Maria is sweet as can be and is always very helpful. Dr. Lim is genuinely caring, kind, knowledgeable, and patient (I had a lot of questions), and he really took his time with me when he explained about my options. In fact, I felt so confident with him that I decided to do the Invisalign treatment with him right then and there. We took care of everything in that same appointment, and I have just gone back to get my first three sets of aligners. Everything has been consistently awesome, and Dr. Lim went out of his way to email me a couple of little videos that show the expected progress of my teeth. He also gave me free teeth whitening on top of it all. It is rare to find such an amazing doctor (who has such an amazing staff and such an amazing office)! When I went to get my Xrays done, we went to his wife’s dental clinic (for kids) next door, which was just as warm as Dr. Lim’s office and was built as a big children’s playroom. It was really great and I thought to myself that this would definitely be the office I would take my kids to.

I have three boys that needed braces and went through Dr. Roger Lim and had a great experience with all three.  With my second child, one orthodontist recommended pulling one of his teeth but Dr. Lim was able to use braces without having to remove any teeth. His office staff is very positive, kind and thorough. They are very kind and performed admirably on all dental work. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for either braces or Invisalign or needing any dental work.
