A Higher Standard of Care

Get to Know Dr. Steve Kim

Dr. Kim always knew he wanted to work in the healthcare industry. With encouragement from his mother, he decided to pursue dentistry because it combined his engineering skills with his aesthetic touch. After practicing for several years in Seoul, South Korea, he decided to specialize in Prosthodontics to truly master his dental capabilities.

After graduating from the top-rated Seoul National University with his DDS, Dr. Kim sought to expand his knowledge further. He set his sights on Boston, where he embarked on a new chapter of his educational journey at Boston University's prestigious Henry M. Goldman School of Dental Medicine, bringing along his wife, a former anchorwoman, and their two daughters.

Driven by a commitment to providing the highest level of excellence for his patients, Dr. Steve Kim continues to excel in his dental career, combining his international experience and education to deliver exceptional dental services and foster lasting relationships with his patients. He listens to each of their concerns with a calm and patient bedside manner, finessed over years of being a doting father and husband.

Dr. Kim's longtime passion and talent also lies in music. His skilled dexterity began when he was a bass guitarist of a rock band in his college days, and continues to enjoy playing guitar in his free time. He plans to pursue astronomy when he semi-retires once his youngest daughter graduates from dental school at UCLA and joins the practice.
