I am writing this testimonial because Dr. Bryan Kim has been so very competent, professional, caring and kind. I was motivated to seek help with my jaw pain, with a diagnosis of myalgia and capsulitis. Both have been resolved. During the course of treatment over many months, Dr. Kim always remained hopeful and encouraging as well as efficient and proficient, providing a successful treatment plan that suited my particular problem. I was always treated with the utmost respect and dignity by Dr. Kim, and he made me feel comfortable and at ease with his positive attitude. Dr. Kim is a special individual who inspires confidence as well as caring. I would highly recommend Dr. Bryan Kim for his professional expertise and considerate manner to any patient needing his services.

Dr. Kim was born and raised in southern California about an hour east of Los Angeles. Although he is the son of a dentist, he resisted his father's gentle nudging toward dentistry and looked to go into the financial industry with an emphasis in biotech companies. During the middle of an interview, he realized that he wanted more personal interactions and to apply biology more directly to his career and decided to apply to dental school.
He entered dental school expecting to go into general practice with his father, but while sitting in a meeting he went to only for the free food, his interest in Orofacial Pain was piqued. He was accepted into the full-time UCLA residency program and is now limiting his practice to only treating patients with pain and sleep apnea. His father has had to endure an ironic second disappointment.
Dr. Kim enjoys traveling with his wife, eating larger portions that he should, and trying not to exercise too frequently.
