The perfect team — compassion and communication

Dr. Aileen Kim, DDS, MS - Board Certified Orthodontist

I believe I was destined to become an orthodontist.  The youngest daughter of a dentist, I had taken on a special interest in teeth and loved dressing up in my father’s too-big-to-fit scrubs.  I attended La Canada High School and then went on to the University of California, Berkeley for my undergraduate studies in Integrative Biology.  I then came back to my hometown and attended dental school at the University of California, Los Angeles.  I moved to Philadelphia to complete my postgraduate orthodontic residency at Temple University, where I also earned a Master’s Degree in Oral Biology.  When I am not creating beautiful smiles, I love to spend time running, doing Pilates, traveling, scuba diving, and being a major foodie with my husband, Paul. Together, we have two beautiful boys, who keep us incredibly blessed and busy! I personalize my care for each patient with an enthusiasm for life and committed dedication, and I tailor orthodontic treatment to each patient’s needs.  My main goal is to help patients feel confident and happy to show off their smiles.

Dr. Paul Lee, DDS, MS - Board Certified Orthodontist

I grew up in a small town in Southern California called La Crescenta. After attending Crescenta Valley High School, I moved up to Northern California to attend University of California, Berkeley, where I obtained dual degrees in Molecular Cell Biology and Economics. At college, I had the privilege of working closely with children of varying ages while teaching Sunday school. From working with them, I discovered that I wanted to interact with and help guide children and adolescents. Teaching them helped me learn that dentistry was my passion. At USC dental school, I was drawn to the field of orthodontics because of the strong bond that can be formed with patients over an extended period of time. My dream of becoming an orthodontist became a reality when I graduated from Temple University with a certificate in Orthodontics and Master's Degree in Oral Biology. When I am not at the office, I enjoy golfing, running, weight lifting, and scuba diving. I can make a mean spicy salmon hand roll and love trying new restaurants with my wife, Aileen. I am also proud to be ‘dada’ to our two special boys, Milo and Dom.
