Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Amazing, gentle and extremely thorough

Procedure 3.7.23
Dr. Lim did a root canal re-treat. Very informative about what was going on. Took special care when numbing and made sure I was comfortable. No pain during procedure and wasted no time. I would definitely return and recommend.

I was referred to Dr. Lim from my dentist who was on vacation. I had two teeth that were bothering me. After waiting a half hour the receptionist took me back. Dr. Lim came in and did a complete history on my two teeth. And, of course, they wanted x-rays. His assistant came in to take the x-rays. She was unable to take my x-rays and said she will wait for the doctor. He came in and also was unable to take my x-rays; he said my mouth was too small - I know many people who will differ with that opinion. They never were able to take an x-ray of my two front teeth. I told the dentist that he was inadequate as a dentist. I walked out without being billed. So goes my story of Dr. Gerald Lim. Linda Fine

I was referred here by my dentist for a root canal. The doctor was very kind and I did not feel any pain at all. He was very caring and great bedside manner. Would definitely recommend to family and friends. Staff make you feel very welcome and safe.

Recently, I had root canal work done on a lower left molar. I am extremely pleased with Dr Lim. He and his support staff were very professional and the entire 2 hour process went very smoothly. I received a follow-up phone call the next day to check on my status.

I always recommend Dr. Lim to friends. He is very detail oriented plus has a light touch. I fell asleep in the chair during a complicated root canal. I had a dental cleaning appointment with my regular dentist a few weeks later and the dentist looked at the x-rays and said, "Dr. Lim is an artist." I can't recommend Dr. Lim highly enough. Other dentists have said that he's the very best. Also, they got me in right away for an emergency appointment

I've had 3 separate root canal treatments from Dr. Lim. Each time, I've found that Dr. Lim's exams are thorough. His diagnosis were correct. During treatment he is concerned that I am not experiencing any pain. He is very gentle. I have not had any pain after each treatment and I would not go to anybody else for root canal treatment. I would highly recommend him.
