Alice (Min Kyung) Kim

Dr. Alice Kim is passionate about building a relationship with her patients and helping them achieve their best smile. Dr. Kim recognizes that many patients avoid going to the dentist out of fear and anxiety, and that this can lead to the development of problems which should be preventable. Understanding that this anxiety frequently arises from fear of the unknown and from previous bad experiences, she spends time to get to know her patients, and empowers them with knowledge and control. She takes the time to listen and understand her patient’s concerns; and to explain the examination process, findings, options and procedures. Finally, her pace of treatment is dictated by what her patient is comfortable with. She believes that knowledge empowers her patients to take the ownership of their oral health. It is one of her primary goals to help patients work on preventative measures to achieve ongoing optimal oral health. Dr. Kim obtained a Doctor of Dental Medicine Degree from the University of British Columbia and then completed her General Practice Residency training in the Bronx, New York, one of the most undeserved areas in the US. Throughout her education, she was involved with community outreach work, as a volunteer as well as an Outreach Coordinator. She was awarded a Leadership award for community involvement. When she is not in the clinic, she enjoys her guitar, painting, and travelling.
