Janet Lim, DMD

The best Dentist I ever met. I have been her patient more than 5 years now. Very professional and meticulously care about your dental issues. Very highly recommended.

I’ve been seeing Dr Lim for almost 10 years now. My husband and our two boys (6 & 10 years old) loves her! She’s patience and very artistic. Her office staffs are very friendly and helpful, all you need to do is ask. I’m truly thankful I found an amazing dentist and a great friend!

I found Dr. Lim on Unilocal.She is so far the best dentist I have seen. The clinic is tidy and clean. I like the little things that the Dr. Lim does, like putting a shade over my eyes, and Vaseline over my lips before starting a procedure. I asked her if I should whiten my teeth, her recommendation is no because it can make my teeth sensitive. I like Dr. Lim a lot because I know she is not there for the money. She will only ask you to return for necessary dental work. I love getting my teeth clean in her clinic, it feels so good afterwards. Dr. Lim is very professional, patient, and down to earth. I feel very comfortable under her care.

Dr Lim has always been my whole family’s dentist. The staff is really nice and it’s quite clean in here. This place is also great for kids. They have tvs for kids to watch while on any procedure and they are extremely gentle.

My family and I have been Dr. Lim’s patients for around 15 years… and to be honest, I don’t think we’ll have to visit any other places to have our teeth cleaned or fixed (unless she refers us to certain professionals dealing with specific procedures that aren’t part of her forte). Whether it be for an annual check-​up or to fill in some cavities, we always feel like we are part of her family. Her smile can brighten anyone’s day, and she really strives to do her best to make sure you have nice and healthy teeth. A good dentist helps you maintain good oral hygiene and provides professional care that meets your needs. A great dentist not only does that but also makes you feel like you’re at home and deeply cares about your health. Dr. Lim is a great dentist, no doubt about that at all. The reason my family and I have still been her loyal patients all this time is because we have grown to not only appreciate her expertise but also her amazing personality. My past experiences with other dentists were not too memorable because they weren’t treating me as part of their family, rather they treated me as business. THAT is the key distinction you will recognize as soon as you see Dr. Lim. You will find out that you actually look forward to scheduling appointments with Dr. Lim because not only do you want your teeth to be healthy, but also you want to talk with her as if she was a close friend.

I love our family dentist. I can’t even brush aiden’s teeth but she is able to 2 clean do cleaning on him and he is having fun. Plus aiden is assisting her. Best dentist Dr Janet lim. The best.

Okay, so yes, I am a very particular person. I look for quality overall — tidiness, professionalism, calm and posh. I’ve been bouncing back and forth from my family dentist since I was a young girl, and I tell you, it is not fun anymore when you see your dentist and every display around the office caters to kids (stickers, lollipops and all). Although I love him to pieces, I have outgrown the ciaos and crowded waiting room.
Alas, after researching I found my kind of Dentist and practice. The serene atmosphere, feng-​shui, tidy and modern interior, and I can’t forget to mention that the property is owned by Dr. Janet Lim, and there is a parking lot. It is not shared with other tenants in the building because it is solely for her practice/​office.
I’ve been seeing Dr. Janet Lim for about 3 years now and she’s been a pleasure to have as my dentist and a friend. She has a calming aura, caring and friendly. Most importantly, she is gentle and light on her hands. Each room has its own TV and Music that can be turned off or on to your comfort. Everything is clean and modern!
I have to say, that it is refreshing that she does not overbook, and each time I have my visits, there is never anyone in the waiting room. It’s like perfectly timed, always! I come in, I sit for less than 5 minutes, someone leaves, then it’s my turn. Impeccable scheduling job by her front desk manager Dorothy, who is very sweet by the way. The synergy within her practice to me is flawless.
I was hesitant to post a review because I don’t want her to be jammed pack with new patients (yes, I want her to myself), but after knowing her for 3 years, I am confident that Dr. Lim and her staff won’t let that happen since she is not about quantity, she is quality. Oh and lastly, I forgot to mention she was awarded #1 two years in a row (I forgot from which, but you can see it in the waiting room, it’s from a prominent organization).
Cheers and keep those smileys beautiful and clean!!!

This dentist was recommended by my partner. The office is very well decorated and comfortable. It’s like you are coming into someone’s home not an office. Dr. Lim is awesome energetic professional knowledgeable and a very good dentist. It is so calming I fell asleep in the chair while gwtt5 my teeth cleaned. Her office staff are very professional and patient. Overall a very good experience.

Not sure how does Dr Lim receive excellent reviews. I went in the first time for an exam and cleaning back in January 2014. The first impression of the office is that the music is super loud and it’s at a point I feel uncomfortable. I asked to turn down the music, the volume was turn down in my treatment room but still way loud in the general office area. I let it go because maybe that’s how the Dr likes it. You do whatever you like at your own practice. I decided not to continue my treatment with Dr Lim after the initial visit.
Recently, I started to have teeth sensitivities especially when I drink cold water. I went to anther Dentist on ⁸⁄₂₆ and they took an xray of effective tooth. The new dentist told me I need a root canal because the decay is so big and so close to the root. And also I need a crown because I will loss a big portion of my tooth. I want make sure that’s the only way to save my tooth, so I went for a second option. I confirmed that Root Canal is the only way I can go.
I asked my new dentist to review my old film from Dr Lim, to see if the decay was already there when I visited Dr Lim back in January 2014. And there is a obvious shadow on my tooth from the film. Even I am not a Dentist, I can see the difference among all the other teeth. How can you miss this large decay, unless you are not details enough, fresh graduates or You want make more money from me by having the root canal.
Nothing can be reverse anymore, but I want warn you fellow Old or New patients, be careful with this Dr, you don’t want end up like me to have a root canal because the tooth can’t be save anymore. This procedure will cost me a lot money and also time. If you can, please avoid Dr Janet Lim. Thanks for reading my review.

Had a cleaning today. I was happy that I came here. When I sought a new dentist out I was worried about cost because I’m self employed. The problem is, is that I’m met with my strong belief of «you get what you pay for».
I’m really happy because it ended up being worth it. It is on the pricey end, but you are paying for quality, along with Dr Lim’s vast knowledge of her profession, education and experience.
I have a few things that I need to take care of, so I’m getting a tad nervous about what all I will need, but in the end they aren’t going to fix themselves.
If you are looking for genuine care and concern where your pearly whites, or lack thereof are concerned, choose this business. You will not be disappointed!

I don’t like Dentist, I always had fear of them in the past, since 2008 Janet changed completely my feelings and now after so many years I don’t have any problems anymore!
Thank you Dr. Lim, you are the Best.

Wow! Very gentle and very thorough. Janet is an outstanding dentist and a good person with a kind warm personality. You can tell by how she talks to you. She makes you comfortable, and gets to know you as her patient. Her office is really comfortable you hardly notice the wait especially with that huge flat screen in the waiting area. I loved how good she cleaned my teeth she really went deep in my hard to reach spots, and there was no pain at all. If you are looking for a dentist that gets the job done with a gentle touch, Janet Lim is the one! Search no more :-)

Had my check up last Thursday. I love Dr. Janet Lim and her staff. She is great. I am so relaxed when I see them compared to my past dentists. She is thoughtful, caring. I told her never to retire.

Clean, modern, upscale looking office. Front desk staff is very nice. Dr Lim is the best dentist I have met in many years. I have called at least 15 dental offices recently and most of the time when I called I never made an appointment because the person on the phone is rude or incompetent which gives me a bad impression right away. Or the office practices prove money is all they are concerned about. I liked that I got my own TV screen mounted on a flexible arm to watch while she worked on my teeth which even had Closed Captioning so I wouldn’t miss anything when the drill was on. Other reviews talked about Dr. Lim’s work so I don’t feel a need to cover that I agree with all the other reviews.

I lived in the South Bay, Peninsula and San Francisco and I have to say Dr. Lim is the best in the Bay. Very nice staff that makes you comfortable — whether through TV, music or funny stories. Very knowledgeable and quality work. You can tell that she simply just cares about your well being. Highly recommended!

Like most people I don’t care for the dentist. I went to her last week not only is she reasonably priced she is caring. She told me things that I needed to know about not just caring for my teeth but for my gums as well. All the other dentist I have been to never mentioned the things I should be doing for gum care.
I need to go back for a filling this will be the big test for me, I don’t like getting the shots to numb my mouth so I am hoping the other Unilocalers are right and it will be PAINLESS!!.

The dentist so nice that you have to review her twice!
When you think of people who were good at their profession, the greatest of all time easily come to mind. Like when I think;
Boxing …I think Muhammed Ali
Basketball…you think Micheal Jordan
Hockey…the great one Wayne Gretzky
Dentist…the undisputed best I’ve ever had Janet Lim, DMD.
She is really the best in the bay area and arguably the country. Never and I mean NEVER EVER have I raved about a dentist. She is professional, BEYOND friendly & most importantly TRULY and I do mean TRULY cares about her patients and the health of their mouth.
So as long as she is my dentist I’m going to keep running my just about perfected mouth UNTIL everyone knows about Janet Lim, the best damn DMD in the land.

She is the best, did not feel pain for deep cleaning, I have other dentist in the past but no one is careful and caring like her.
No rust and no waiting.
no worry about parking.
