WHat our patients say about us

“I broke my front tooth in a work related accident.  It was such a scary moment to be in pain and have a broken front tooth.

Dr Kim was able to fix it and get me out of pain.  The tooth looks so great people can’t even tell which one I broke.  Dr Kim is very professional, kind, quick, courteous and pain free.  I would recommend him to anyone who needs any kind of dental treatment.  I was very impressed with how great the tooth came out.  He is very good at cosmetic dentistry and would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone out there.”

“As a visitor to the Islands needing help for my tooth pain, I needed to find trusted dental help, and fast. I knew I may need at least one, possibly 2 root canals and I was told I had up to 8 – count them – 8 cavities that I may need to have addressed at a recent appointment in my home state of Alaska. This did not seem to make sense to me when I had passed my prior appointment 1 year before with a clean bill of health. I started looking around Oahu and was told I needed to coordinate with a local dentist as well as with an endodontist, which was discouraging since I was not from the area and had received no outside recommendations.

After calling around, I fortunately came to Dr. Tony Kim’s office at Dental Day Spa of Hawaii and was greeted by Dr. Kim himself. I had submitted my X-rays via the My Medical Vault service and he was able to review them and give me an estimate. The best part? He told me that we would take a look and could coordinate any necessary care and that, if necessary, additional work would be able to be handled ON-SITE!

Dr. Kim is an outstanding dentist, and he and his office staff provide concierge-level attention to any and all, including very personalized attention before, during, and after care. After returning home to Alaska, I found that Tony Kim’s bill was HALF of what it would have been back home, and he confirmed my care needs as being far less extensive than what had been falsely quoted to me by a local Alaskan dentist (or, should I say, “dental mill”).

A dental colleague who looked at my teeth here in Alaska following Tony Kim’s work had a hard time identifying which tooth had actually been repaired!  That surely must be a reflection on his years of experience in the competitive Southern California market, which can only be a game-changer in the Hawaii market. Kama’aina and visitors – go see Dr. Tony Kim if you have any dental issues (or, better yet, BEFORE you develop any).  Your mouth, as well as your bank account, will thank you.”

Dr. Tony Kim is in another universe of quality care, resources and environment from other biological dentists I have been to. I am so grateful that my naturopathic physician Dr. Steelsmith referred me to him.   He made me an affordable (metal-free) porcelain crown for my #18 molar.  He responded promptly to my many health questions about materials and ingredients giving honest and sound advice. We are fortunate to have him in Honolulu. The Dental Day Spa itself is the finest dental office I have ever been in. Spacious, comfortable and nicely decorated just like a spa with wonderful calming music. Thank you Dr. Kim and staff for making a tough time into a terrific one for me. I am pleased and happy to have you as my new dentist. Paula Mantel, Hawai’i resident since 1981.

“I basically had given up trying to find a dentist and stopped going to the dentist for 3 years because of it. I eventually broke one of my crowns and it was hurting so I was forced to find someone who would work on it. I went to 2 other places before landing at Dr. Kim’s office. I can proudly say I found a new dentist and office that I LOVE.
The first thing I was looking for was someone that followed the proper safety protocols for safe mercury removal from fillings. I found on their website that they did, so I called an explained my current situation with hesitancy to be x-rayed and lack of trust with dentists ordering procedures that didn’t need to be done. (an experience 2 other members had with one dentist).
I showed up to my appt. I loved the two office girls, we connected and that was great. The dentist Dr. Kim spent at least 40 min explaining my options for treatment, which for me was the deal breaker and why I decided to receive treatment there. I also like that he’s a holistic dentist but not over the top about it either. Like Buddha says, “the middle way”. I now have a fixed tooth and decided I’ll go ahead and get all the mercury out of my mouth at their office as well as a night guard I’ve needed to replace desperately for years.The office is very nice and clean and staff is great. I highly recommend their office to anyone.”

“I stumbled across Dr. Kim’s office while looking for another one that I was referred to, and I am happy that I did. Out of 5 previous dental offices that I’ve been to, this is the first where I don’t feel like I’m being taken advantage of. Dr. Kim and his staff are very kind and helpful. He is social and personable unlike other dentists I’ve seen. I am happy that I found him and I highly recommend his office.”

“If one is looking to be just a number at any average dental office, then you could go there. If one is looking for a holistic dentist, well knowledgeable, compassionate, calm and empathetic dental office, Dr. Kim’s office is the place to call and go. They are worth the wait for the excellent care received. I am usually get very anxious when I think of a dental visit. All staff especially hygienist were all pleasant. She was calm and spoke soft to me while I was getting a crown on my molar. They allowed me to listen to my ipod. Yes there scheduling is tight, BUT they ARE worth the wait.

A holistic dentist is hard to find. I researched many in the United States and I was willing to travel to get scene by one. I chose Dr. Kim based on the knowledgeable staff. I was persistent with many holistic dental offices and many seemed unknowing as to the procedures and some seemed not to care about my needs or wanted to know me. Now my whole family will be scene by Dr. Kim DDS.

He suggests preventative measures to take and suggests a healthy lifestyle. We live healthy and this dentist fits right in with us. As much as I like him, I hope not to have to go back to much. However, we are relieved to know that we are able to go to a conscientious and detail oriented dentist.

VERY PLEASED!!! 😉 “
