I have been to several dentists in my lifetime. And, about 2 years ago, I met a beautiful girl who worked at Neiman Marcus and I had to ask her about her teeth. She told me about Dr.Kim, and I immediately made an appointment.When you walk into that wonderful building, you think to yourself, "Yup. This is one of those narcissistic fee-for-service-physicians that don’t take insurance..." WRONG they take insurance, and do a wonderful job. I swear I suffer from panic attacks whenever I visit the dentist, but there is some sort of way that Dr.Kim maneuvers the needle, that you never feel it. He is quick, and he does not dance around to other patients due to being overbooked like I have seen other dentists. He gives you total, and complete undivided attention. Not only is he fast, but he does WONDERFUL work. I cannot possibly tell you how pleased I am with the entire office, and especially the work of Dr. Kim. I would also like to mention that I am not a fan of fluoride, and although they do not agree with my perspective, they took measure to order special non-fluorinated cleaning paste for my daughter and me.Thank you for your wonderful service Dr. Kim and your team.Lifetime patient.
I recently had a slight dental "Emergency". I'd been in the dental field for over 40 years so I am VERY picky! I couldn't have been more pleased with The Dentist of Allen. My previous Dentist was no longer in business & I had changed careers. I had been meaning to go to this office for quite some time but had been crazy busy. TIME FLIES! I knew the reputation of the original Dentist of Allen, Dr Dave Bishop, who had built the practice & knew he'd have great people to carry on. On top of all the good things I had heard about them, it is only a stone's throw from my real estate office. I was a little nervous that I had not taken the time to establish myself as a patient & had to call out of the blue but they got me in at a time that worked with my crazy schedule. The office is as beautiful on the inside as out & the crew is friendly & professional. They made sure I was comfortable with the diagnosis & I've rescheduled to go back. I've found my new Dental Team! Did I say I was picky? Well, it pays off!
Another great experience at The Dentist of Allen! The whole staff is welcoming, and Cynthia is amazing as always! She takes the time to ask about my life/build rapport. Plus, she is gentle with my teeth and makes sure I am comfortable the whole time!
Incredible experience, all the hygienists are professional, kind, and thorough.
Dr. Bishop and his staff are fantastic. I have been to many dentists over my lifetime and the dentistofAllen is by far the best ever. Everyone treats me with the utmost care and concern. Dr. Bishop, Dr. Kim and Dr. Koelker really care about their patients. Dr. Bishop knows dentistry! I have been to many dentists in my life and Dr. Bishop AND HIS STAFF are by far the BEST I have ever had. All the receptionists are so friendly, helpful and caring. They always listen carefully to me and my mouth issues. The hygienists are so nice and gentle on my teeth. They do a fantastic job cleaning my teeth. If you want the very BEST in dentistry you owe it to yourself to give TheDentistofAllen a try. My oral care is in the best of hands here. 5 BIG STARS!
