Meet The Staff

Hi my name is Laura,

I am the Office Manager for Dr's Yoonjung and Najung Kim.  I have been with Dr. Yoon and Dr. Kim since March 2008.  My responsiblity as the Office Manager, is to help our patients utilize their dental benefits to the maximum, and if there is anything I can do to help you with your dental insurance please let me know. 

I have been in the medical field since 1985 where I started out as the secretary at North Maine Fire Department.  After getting the "bug" and wanting more, I went back to school and earned my certifications for E.M.T., Medical Assisting, CNA, Phlebotomy and EKG's.  I have worked in all area's of the spectrum including, Medfirst, Sears Family Dental, LifeSource, The Optimal Wellness Center and in the Non-Invasive Cardiology Department at St. Alexius Medical Center.

My interests outside of work include spending time with my friends and family.  I come from a multi-generation military family who have served in the Navy and Air Force, and currently I have 2 nieces who are serving in the US Marine Corp.  During the summer, I also like to attend as many of the summer festivals as possible.  You can usually find me testing my luck in the bingo tent or listening to the local bands.

Hi my name is Allison,

I’m glad you are visiting our page and hope to see you soon.  I have worked for six years in the dental field, and met a great doctor that showed me my path to this career.  I recently received my certification in Coronal Polishing & Fluoride. My responsibilities are to assist Dr's Yoonjung and Najung Kim, x-rays, sealants, prophys and fluoride treatments.  I love meeting new people daily, and my goal is to communicate with our patients to provide the best care possible. I am fluent in both the English and Spanish languages.  I am honored to be able to work with these two wonderful dentists.

I love spending time with my family and husband (Jorge).  I have four wonderful brothers and one sister.  I love going shopping and collecting purses.
