    Amy Kim, D.D.S.

    “Your comfort and satisfaction are my #1 priority. I am here for YOU!”

    At a young age, Dr. Kim was inspired by her family dentist in Green Bay to pursue a career in dentistry. She went on to receive her dental degree in 2003 from Marquette University, School of Dentistry in Milwaukee.

    Following her graduation, Dr. Kim advanced her clinical knowledge and skills in post-doctorate programs at VA Hospitals in Minneapolis and Los Angeles. Here she had the opportunity to teach and mentor dental students, gain valuable experience by working with specialists in all areas of dentistry, and learned how to safely and competently care for patients with complex medical and dental conditions.

    Over the years, Dr. Kim has treated patients in private practice and kept abreast of the latest techniques dentistry has to offer. She focuses on getting to know each patient. Dr. Kim believes the keys to successful dental care are understanding patients’ fears and concerns and ensuring their comfort. Her goal is to instill open communication, calmness, and confidence in her patients. Because of her artistic eye, she enjoys cosmetic dentistry but first and foremost, believes in achieving optimal oral health.

    Currently, Dr. Kim is taking advanced courses with Spear, which focuses on providing comprehensive treatment to patients to target underlying problems and provide long-lasting results.
