Colorado Dental Center

That one star you see right there is for the nice greeting upon arrival. That’s it.
The dental assistant was obviously training a new assistant that day, lucky me. She left the trainee to do my cleaning. Not only did she splatter all that pink (insert professional term) on my face, she didn’t even bother to wipe it off! She just sat there fumbling, and trying to make small talk to cover her mistakes. Fine, she’s new. But she definitely didn’t know what she was doing and acted like she did. An apology for the MESS would’ve been nice. Just saying.
Moving along, I met with Dr. Kim and he was very polite. What came as a huge surprise to me was that he said i had cavities and needed 4 fillings, but not to worry because my insurance covered it. I haven’t had ONE cavity in YEARS but I convinced myself maybe i didn’t take as much care of my oral hygiene as I thought I did.
The main reason for this visit was because an old crown had fallen off and I needed a replacement/​repair. the assistant handed him my FILM x-​ray (who uses film anymore??) He said he could repair it, which means less pay out-​of-​pocket (yay). But he reminded me that I needed to get the fillings done asap.
When I was driving back home I kept thinking to myself about my cavities, so I went and got a second opinion. I chose this dental office because it was close to where I worked and I wanted a dentist to advise me about my fallen crown (ha!) right away. So this time I went back to my current dentist. They did a whole new set of x-​rays and to my shock, he said everything looked good. I asked if he was sure I didn’t have any cavities. He said he was sure.
I told him about my recent visit to Dr. Kim and he said what I was told was $hady and for whatever reason they told me I needed, not one but FOUR fillings, is just suspicious. But I’ll let you guy$ figure that part out your$elve$.

Not a bad dentist. I stopped going to him simply because I moved out of Pasadena. if I lived at my previous address, I’d still probably go. He’s a really nice guy and very personable. Bob S. is right about the dental hygenist stuff: he gives a lot of personal attention. He’s affordable and he’s not particularly difficult to get an appointment.
The two problems I had were
1) his office is far too intense trying to schedule appointments. After six months, they would call almost daily trying to schedule an appointment. The name «Maggie from Colorado Dental» might be etched in my lexicon permanently” (hint if I don’t call back the 5^th time, don’t keep calling)
2) the appointments would almost ALWAYS go long. For example: an appointment the hygenist claimed was one hour turned into 3 hours… no apology, explanation or anything and on this particular occasion and I was super numb from a filling. This wasn’t the only time. He also twice lost x-​rays. I went 2 years straight, every general appointment, having to do an x-​ray.
Again, it wasn’t all bad… there are some really sketchy dentists out there, and he isn’t one of them. I recommend him if you live within a mile or so away in Pasadena, and you are having a hard time finding an honest dentist.

My dentist for life! He works with you and I wouldn’t go anywhere else.

Dr Kim is the best dentist I have ever had. First, his office hours are ideal for my busy work schedule — they are open Saturdays and I have never had to mis work.
He takes the time to explain the state of my oral health and best practices. He isn’t like other dentists offices I’ve been to where the Dentist doesn’t spend more than a few minutes with you and pawns all the work to the hygienist. I used 1800 Dentist previously and Dr Kim has the local provider they recommend in Pasadena beat hands down. Dr Kim is a graduate of USC and he knows his stuff. I’ve been very pleased with his work and I highly recommend him.
I wouldn’t give either of the negative reviews here much weight. Most Dr offices get back logged and to expect to be out in a lunch hour is not realistic. Also, strange someone would write a review without having even been seen by the dentist.

Just had my cleaning and cavities filled week before that Dr Kim took out a very painful wisdom tooth .Dr Kim is very caring and takes his time to do a perfect job my teeth never looked so clean and always have a good experience when I go. I deffenetly recommend Colorado dental .Dr Kim and his assistant where very nice and love my results.

This is solely based on first impression. The person who answered the phone was extremely RUDE. So why would I want to be a patient there? Doctors remember your staff is representing you.
