Dr. Sorah Kim Is Passionate About Healthy Smiles

Dr. Sorah Kim is no stranger to our practice. She’s been bringing her daughters here even before she became a pediatric dentist.

A Chicago native who grew up in the west suburbs, Dr. Kim now calls the Edgebrook neighborhood home. She earned her bachelor’s degree in business administration with a focus on marketing from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. She then earned her Juris Doctorate from UIC’s School of Law, and her DMD from Southern Illinois University School of Dental Medicine. She also completed a rigorous two-year pediatric dentistry residency at the University of Illinois Chicago, earning both her pediatric dentistry certificate and a master’s in oral sciences.

Dr. Kim’s path to pediatric dentistry began with a deeply personal experience: her own children’s early oral health concerns. She was inspired by Dr. Furusho and Dr. Kollmann, who provided compassionate guidance, education, and treatment, always with kindness and without judgment.

Throughout dental school, Dr. Kim recognized the critical need for specialized dental care for children and grew more convinced that children’s good oral health starts with the family. This led her to pursue a pediatric dentistry residency, where she developed the skills to better serve and guide families with their children’s dental health.

When she’s not at the office, Dr. Kim enjoys spending time with her husband and two tween daughters, playing board games, reading, and gardening with her Goldendoodle, Kimchi.

We have gone to Dentistry for Kids since my son was a baby, and our experience has always been positive. Today was his first day going back all by himself, and every single person was so warm and made him feel so safe so he didn’t even hesitate! He had so much fun at the dentist (definitely goes against the usual stigma haha) and loved feeling like a champ for having no cavities. The dental assistant and dentist were both so nice and helpful, like not just saying that – actually above and beyond! They even took a picture! Love that my son loves going to the dentist! I wish I could go here as an adult 😂

Definitely would recommend. My daughter had a frenectomy with Dr. Furusho and I felt content about how she informed everything to me and made me feel comfortable with my daughter who has sensory difficulties. I like how they checked up on me the day of the procedure to see how it was going.

They don’t let you go in the back with your child but when my daughter had a cleaning I did get to peek through the window and see her, that made me feel better. I love that they have I pads for kids as well to help relax them especially if the child has sensory difficulties.

Iv been taking my kids here when they were originally at Cicero and Peterson location. This location is a lot bigger, brighter space and has tablets and TVs for the kids in both the waiting rooms and dental rooms. The staff are always friendly and attentive to the kids and make the dentist visits enjoyable. Had the pleasure of seeing both Dr. Furusho and Dr. Kollmann and they are both great with kids.

We love Dentistry for Kids! My daughter never complains about going and easily goes with the hygienist. Everyone is so kind and Dr. Kollmann and Dr. Furusho are incredible at what they do. Very knowledgeable and always staying up to date on newest research and technology.

My five year old Love’s visiting Dr. Kirk Kollmann’s office. Never a complaint. We just started bringing our two year old and it was such a pleasant experience, as always. The staff is amazing and always very accommodating! Extremely professional, clean and friendly. They make each child feel very special every single time. I cannot say the same of other places. I made the mistake of initially taking my two year old closer to home. This office is worth the drive. 😊🤗

Dentistry for kids has been our kids dentist for over 20 years. Best pediatric dentist hands down! Natalia is the youngest of 2 to be a part of this family. Yesterday she turned 14 and although it was her special day she was not going to miss her appt . So we scheduled early enough for her to go to school right after. They make kids want to take care of their teeth …As always a great experience , great Doctors and staff is like family!!! Sorry i wrote so much but they are the best!!!

I am so pleased with the whole team here from the Dentists to all office staff. We came here for a second opinion and Dr. Furusho was so thorough and explained everything in great detail. She also saved us from removing the wrong tooth on our 5 year old! We knew we could never go back to our old dentist. We have now moved both of our kids here and have also seen Dr. Kollmann, equally thorough and delightful. Thank you!

I can’t say enough about our experience at this office. My daughter was born with a cleft lip. At almost 2 yrs old, we were referred by her surgeon, the wonderful Dr. Bauer, now at UIC, to the exceptional Dr. Kollmann. My daughter will be 8 yrs old in a month and I am so grateful to the ENTIRE staff for making each visit to the dentist such a pleasant experience. EVERYONE is extremely friendly, and caring.
