Customer Reviews
Dr. Walsh was fantastic with my daughter! Through use of playful expressions and sounds, Dr. Walsh took my daughter’s mind of of the entire experience! Not only did she let Dr. Walsh examine her teeth, but she let her scrape away buildup and floss without a single complaint! It’s hard to believe that only last year she had a hard time even opening her mouth. Highly recommend!
My son loves this place. We are coming here since he is 2 years old. Doctor Kim is amazing. Very professional. All the staff is wonderful. My son is excited to go to the dentist. This is fabulous. Today he had to do an xray and he loved it. I recommend this dentist office with all my heart. Of course after dentist treat your kid at Finestra Restaurant with best French fries on Upper East Side.
Came here last week with my child for a first visit , I had just changed jobs so I wasn’t too sure on my insurance coverage so I called and they told me the insurance coordinator will look into my insurance info and would call me back. They called me within ten minutes her name was Zoe to let me know my son was covered for the visit and explained how my insurance worked .I was nervous when I came in but everything was decorated nice so my son was excited to see the animals on walls and tvon. They called me in fast no wait and doctor was very patient and explained everything for first time ! DrKim was sweet and informative ! my husband and I will be recommending slim dental to our friends and family.
Dr Walsh was so wonderful with our 4 year old. She was compassionate and engaging and made the entire experience feel friendly and fun for our little one. The whole team at Slim is great and their facility is top notch. Highly recommend for your little one
Dr Kim was so patient and kind during our son’s first visit to the dentist. She did everything she could to make our son comfortable and answer all of our questions. The exam was quick and efficient. The front desk staff was also so helpful. They promised our son would leave with a smile, and they were right! Thank you!
