Erin Gal

I can’t say enough good things about Smile Story Orthodontics! From the moment I walked in, the staff made me feel welcome and comfortable. The front desk team is friendly, organized, and always quick to answer any questions.

Dr. Kim is knowledgeable, patient, and clearly passionate about their work. They explained every step of my treatment plan and made sure I understood what to expect. I felt genuinely cared for throughout the entire process.

The office is clean, modern, and runs on time (which I really appreciate). My results turned out better than I hoped — my smile looks amazing!

McKenzie Chapman

Dr. Kim is hands down the best orthodontist I’ve ever been to. He’s extremely knowledgeable and always takes the time to explain what’s going on and why it matters. You can tell he truly cares about his patients and wants the best outcome for each one. The whole experience has been smooth, professional, and reassuring from start to finish. Highly recommend!

Isa

I’ve had such a great experience at this orthodontic office while receiving clear aligner treatment! From the moment I walked in, the staff made me feel comfortable and well taken care of. Everyone is so welcoming, professional, and genuinely kind. They always take the time to explain each step of the process and make sure I understand everything.
The doctor is truly an amazing person! He’s super knowledgeable, patient, and really cares about getting the best results for me. I felt confident I was in good hands the entire time. My teeth are already looking great, and I’m so happy I chose this office. Highly recommend to anyone considering orthodontic treatment!
Thank you Smile Story.

John Whitty

Dr. Kim is awesome! He’s so kind and generous with his time. He really made me feel comfortable asking questions about different treatment options. I would highly recommend Dr. Kim and his staff to anyone looking for an excellent orthodontist in the North Jersey area!

Lonnie Seo

Highly highly recommend Dr Kim! After completing my alignment with him, I’m now able to chew and bite much more comfortably, something I couldn’t really do due to my misalignment, and I feel so much more confident with my smile. He has excellent bedside manners and I love how he explains his plan so it’s easy to understand. You can tell he really cares about the quality of his work — even after completion of my alignment, he’s worked with my dentist to help in recommending the best treatment for my mouthguard. His staff is also very nice and helpful, which is a nice cherry on top. I’m very pleased with the results of my alignment!

Justin Cho

Dr. Douglas Kim is a great orthodontist. He’s friendly and explains in-depth of everything, and seems to truly care about his patients. It’s no surprise he has so many great reviews. I’d recommend him to anyone who needs braces or orthodontic care.

Mark Guevarra

Dr. Kim is truly one of the kindest and most knowledgeable orthodontists I’ve ever met. His calm and caring demeanor instantly puts patients at ease. Whether you’re a nervous kid getting braces for the first time or an adult exploring clear aligner treatment, Dr. Kim takes the time to explain every step, answer questions thoroughly to make you feel genuinely cared for. If you’re in the North Jersey area and looking for an orthodontist, I highly recommend Dr. Kim and the team at Smile Story Orthodontics. You’ll be in excellent hands!

Brian Huie

I found Dr Kim after doing a lot of research for braces for my son and boy am I glad I found him. He is so impressive and patient with the time he puts into explaining the details of what he is doing for my son's braces. I would recommend him to all my friends and family and Smile Story is a great office to go to.

Do Yun Kim

I highly recommend Smile Story if you’re looking for an office that treats you like more than just another patient. Dr Doug and Soonjung took such good care of me, answering my questions and taking time to explain everything during the aligners treatment. I’m beyond happy with the results!

Steven Park

We had such a great experience at this dental office for my daughter’s appointment. Everyone was incredibly professional, kind, and so sweet. They made my daughter feel completely at ease, explained everything clearly, and were very gentle throughout the whole process. It’s not easy to find a place where teens feel comfortable. We are so grateful!
