Dr. Tiffany Kim grew up in Claremont, attending school locally from middle school through college before graduating from Claremont McKenna College. She earned her Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from UCLA and continued her training through a General Practice Residency at the UCLA Hospital Dentistry Clinic, where she was recognized for her compassionate care of special needs patients with the Brian D. Stone Memorial Award.

Dr. Kim’s passion for dentistry is deeply personal. Her brother, Ryan, has severe autism and has often faced challenges receiving dental care. Growing up alongside him inspired her to become a provider who offers the patience, empathy, and individualized attention that every patient deserves. His influence continues to shape her approach to care — treating every person, regardless of background, ability, or circumstance, with compassion and respect.
