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.

Dr. Somi Kim exemplifies excellence in oral surgery and patient care, characterized by her patient-centered approach and meticulous attention to detail. She engages patients and their families in comprehensive discussions of treatment options, ensuring informed decision-making. Dr. Kim's seamless coordination with my husband's MGH hospital team ensured continuity of care upon discharge. Her dedication to his overall health and safety was evident in her efficient management of necessary tooth extractions. Dr. Kim effectively alleviated my husband's dental anxiety, completing the procedure within 30 minutes. Her expertise and compassionate care have transformed his perception of oral surgery. I unequivocally recommend Dr. Somi Kim to my acquaintances.

Courageous ,humble and compassionate
Another really wonderful oral surgeon sent me to see Dr. Kim about a year and a half ago. I had a history of failed implants. Dr.Kim envisioned what could work and clearly and carefully told me putting no pressure on my decision. Seeing her confidence I was excited to go forward. When I had some problems ,not surprisingly,she time and again went back in until I had a success. She just would not give up!I am so proud of her for opening her own office. I know she had many moments of worry, but she is so deserving. She has an enormous heart and she cares deeply about what is important so she pours every ounce of her energy into it.I saw how everyone around her respected her and how much she herself respected them in return . I believe in her one hundred percent…and even more!! She has trained so hard and for so long and has been so committed and she has remained a really good person which is the most important of all .

Incredible Surgeon
Dr. Somi Kim removed my husband's wisdom teeth and provided an excellent experience from start to finish. He recovered with zero complications, no pain (without requiring any medications), and left with a thorough understanding of the procedure and how to follow-up for any concerns (there were none due to her exceptional care). She has a wonderful bedside manner and makes sure that patients and their families are supported and cared for. Dr. Kim is the BEST!!

Excellent
Dr. Somi Kim is a fantastic surgeon. She removed my wisdom teeth. She was so warm and welcoming. She explained the procedure well and that really put me at ease. After the injections I didnt feel a thing. I really like how she checked in with me throughout the procedure to see how I was doing. I recommend her to all of my friends. 10 out of 10

Only oral surgeon I’d trust my family with
Dr. Somi Kim is not only a brilliant woman but she truly cares about her patients. She cares about her staff and takes true pride in having her own practice. Any time anyone I know needs a dental opinion or work done by an oral surgeon, she is who I recommended & I know that person will have a good experience.

I don't love oral surgery, but the person I least hate oral surgery with is Dr. Kim. She has super skills and quite an impressive resume, I feel fully confident in her chair.
