Annually, Dr. Yim and staff hold a Patient Appreciation Night to thank all of his clientele for their continued support…an evening full information, good food and great company. Dr. Yim’s personality and philosophy has continued to make York & Bay Dental Office a welcoming place to take care of all of your dental needs.
Getting to know Dr. Julie Kim
Dr. Julie Kim’s inspiration to become a dentist was motivated by her own fearful intimidation of dentistry. After conquering many years of dental phobia, her mission as a dentist is to ensure that patients have a comfortable experience with her and to claim a positive outlook on dentistry.
In 2003, Dr. Kim graduated from the University of Western Ontario and has since served in Hamilton. She enjoys the wide diversity of dentistry and can take care of your dental concerns in restorative & cosmetic dentistry, conscious sedation dentistry, occlusal therapy and dental trauma therapy. To her, the path to oral health is prevention and education at a young age. Hence, Dr. Kim is especially excited about visits from children (happy or sad) because it enables her to plant seeds for future success.
Dr. Kim is also a firm believer in a balanced lifestyle. As a mother of three children, she enjoys oil painting, wheeling pottery and playing the piano. She loves to cook but dreads to bake. She is involved in the Children’s Ministry at her church and is passionate about offering dental aid to those in impoverished developing countries.
As a member of the Canadian and Ontario Dental Associations, the Hamilton Academy of Dentistry and the Comprehensive Dentistry Study Club of Hamilton, it is Dr. Kim’s goal to advance in knowledge and skill in order to meet your dental needs.
