My Dear Patients:

Please welcome Dr. Yang Kim to our Mendo Smiles Team!

Dr. Kim will be here full time and I feel he will be a wonderful asset to our practice and your oral health! He is an experienced private practice dentist who shares my passion for providing quality compassionate dentistry to our patients.

Dr. Kim received his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from Loma Linda University. He and his wife, a registered nurse, have decided to make Ukiah their home. They have four grown daughters, including one in a medical family practice residency at Loma Linda. He has years of general dentistry experience treating adults and children. Additionally, he performs much of his own implant dentistry, and teaches seminars on implant dentistry to other dentists. He is also an avid golfer.

As we expand our services and hours, we expect the addition to be smooth because our team works so well together to provide you the great care you deserve! Dr. Kim eagerly looks forward to meeting each of our wonderful patients and continuing to help you with your dental needs and wants. I know you will enjoy meeting Dr. Kim next time you come in or maybe on the golf course!!

I thank you for your support and trust in me throughout the years. After doing dentistry for over 40 years, I will continue to serve you on Wednesdays and Thursdays, and Kathy will be here on Wednesdays. It is my great pleasure and privilege to be your dentist. My new schedule will allow me to focus on the work I love-clinical dentistry, and to spend more time with my family. I sincerely hope you will give Dr. Kim the same opportunity and trust you have given me.

Thank you and blessings for a wonderful 2025!
