About

Dr. Tony Kim was born in Seoul, South Korea. He moved to Edmonton for University, receiving his Bachelor of Physical Science in 2010, and his Doctor of Dental Surgery in 2014, both from the University of Alberta. Dr. Kim finds the entire practice of dentistry immensely rewarding and enjoys all aspects of it, whether it’s something as simple as restoring a cavity, or a more complex case like a root canal. He has a particular interest in Cosmetic Dentistry and Oral Surgery. Dentistry has always been a part of Dr. Kim’s life. Growing up, he spent a great deal of time at his mother’s clinic, and always looked forward to going there after school to watch her work (and to play with the cool gadgets, of course). Dentistry is an ever-changing field, and Dr. Kim continuously strives to be better and to go above and beyond to provide his patients with quality dental care. Dr. Kim frequently partakes in continuing education to further enhance his skills and to familiarize himself and stay up to date with all new technology. When he gets asked whether he likes his job, his answer is always, “Well, of course, because to me, it’s not a job, it’s a passion!” Dr. Tony Kim is a firm believer that a great bedside manner is equally as important as clinical skills. We all know dental anxiety is a real thing. For the extremely nervous patients, Dr. Kim is pleased to offer IV sedation to make any procedure or treatment as comfortable as possible. He speaks fluent Korean for any patient who might find this more convenient. Most importantly, Dr. Kim’s role as a healthcare professional is to ensure that his top priority is you, the patient.

Dr Kim and Pathways was a great find - they were honest and informative, fairly priced as well for someone without insurance.

Good

Dr. Kim is very intelligent!

Super friendly and competent! I recommend!

Professional and very attentive to Clients care and needs, really recommend Dr. Kim to everyone

He's very pleasant and gentle dentist. Considers patient's opinion.

I usually approach dentist appointments with a lot of anxiety, but my recent visit to Pathway Clinic changed my perspective. Despite my fears, especially of needles, the team there made me feel at ease. They took the time to explain all procedures and options clearly, which greatly alleviated my concerns. Even the freezing, which I dreaded, turned out to be a smooth experience with just one minor poke that was well-managed. Overall, my experience at Pathway Clinic was surprisingly good, and I left feeling much better about dental care. Highly recommend to anyone with dental concerns!

an awesome and exceptionally talented dentist in town. The clinic is well-maintained and so organized with a friendly enviroment.

Nice in explaining your conditions and how are they going to be addressed. Speaks clearly and listens well on your concerns. Great overall experience being taken care of.

Very professional and skilled, top to bottom. Dr. Kim is thorough and informative, and lets you know every step of the way what’s going on so there are no surprises. Very calming, as well. Thank you to the entire Pathways Dental team! 😊

The professionalism and care with which I was attended to was exceptional. The examination was really thorough and conducted with my well-being in mind. The practice itself is well maintained, serene and relaxing. However, the price quote I received for a root canal retreatment was pretty high but I will be going back for my filling.

Eli is by my favourite hygienist now, and the patient experience was lovely and comfortable.

Dr. Kim was very friendly and nice. He explained things very well as well.

Very friendly and kind.

Do not let the outside of the clinic deter you from getting your dental needs from Pathways Dental: warm reception, beautiful lobby, everyone is very friendly making sure the client's need are met, some goodies for new clients as well. 5 out of 5. Highly recommend.

Very gentle handling the client. Amazing doctor.

Dr. Kim did a great job. My daughter was comfortable while Dr. Kim did the treatment.

Such a great experience! Ryan the hygienist was so knowledgeable and friendly! Dr. Kim was also very friendly and professional 😊

Great dentist. Very knowledgeable and knows how to make a patient feel at ease.

My first visit at the office was impressive! The front desk administrators were welcoming, accommodating and very friendly. The waiting room was equipped with water and had a coffee station, perfect for the cold weather. The waiting area also has a separate kids play area, which came clutch for my 2 kids. The hygienist Ryan, was amazing! My mouth feels and looks so clean after my visit. My 3 year old daughter had an exam with Dr. Bouma and she did sooo well, which means Dr. Bouma definitely has a way with kids. I’m already booked to come back in July! I’d highly recommend visiting this office, you won’t be disappointed.

Dr. Kim and his office were great from the moment I walked into the door. The staff at the office were all very professional and kind, and he was great an explaining the findings of the X-rays as well as outlining a treatment plan. Ryan, my dental hygienist, was also super helpful in explaining what he was doing as well as how I could optimize my dental health
