James D. Kim, DDS

James D. Kim D.D.S.

Hi, I am Dr. Kim. I am orginially from the Midwest, but am very excited to be back in the Salinas Valley area to be part of this wonderful community! I graduated from Loma Linda University in Southern California for my Doctorate degree in Dental Surgery (DDS) and am very proud to be an owner of this great dental office. Growing up I always knew that being a dentist was something that I always wanted. Both of my parents were a dental lab technician so I was surrounded by dentistry, and I was always good with my hands building things and playing musical instruments. Also with the passion I have for helping people, I knew that this profession was the perfect fit.

I condsider myself very lucky because I really do love what I do. For me, dentistry is just not my occupation, but my passion and I am always educating myself with the best continuning education courses so that I can provide the best care for my patients. I personally try to treat every patient as if I was treating one of my family members, always giving them the best option and treating them with gentle care. Patients are always given our time and our attention at my office because I feel that they are the most important part of our office.

Beside helping people at my office, I enjoy spending time with my wife ,Cindy (who also is a dentist) and our dog Tobey. Some of my hobbies include guitar, basketball, and hiking around the beautiful places in the bay area. I am also very involved in doing dental mission work throughout different parts of the world. So far I have traveled to Mexico, China, Fiji, Kiribati Islands, and Cambodia providing free dental care to those who really need it.

Our office has been serving the Salinas areas since the 1950's. It was originally started by Dr. Lyman Lowe in the 50's and then handed down to Dr. Malcome Lowe. With recent passing of Dr. Malcome Lowe the office has been led by Dr. James Kim who used to associate at the office 2 years ago. Lots of our patients and their families have been coming to our dental office over generations because we have become part of their family.

We are small a dental office where we get to know our patients on a personal level and provide great dental care for the whole family. You won't feel like as if you're just another patient at our office, but we will treat you just like how we would like to be treated at a doctor's office. We hardly have patients waiting out in the lobby for a long time because we know that your time is very precious. If you are looking for an office with friendly atomsphere with great service and dental care then you have come to the right place!
