Nev
Office Manager
I am responsible for all aspects of management and marketing here at Ballston Dental Arts. In general, this means ensuring the office runs smoothly from day to day, allowing Dr. Kim and the rest of our team to concentrate on providing excellent patient care. I truly enjoy connecting with patients and helping them understand their treatment, how they will benefit from it, and how to get started. I feel very fortunate to work in this office. Dr. Kim is a highly respected dentist in the Arlington area with supreme expertise in his field. He understands what it takes to deliver the best quality dentistry for each and every patient.
I am originally from Serbia, and I love traveling to visit family and reconnect with my roots. At home, I enjoy playing tennis, dancing, and scuba diving.
Karen
Dental Hygienist
It is my goal to provide a safe, highly efficient, state-of-the-art dental experience for our patients. Each person I meet is given my full attention, and I try to ensure the patient’s comfort whether he or she is here for an exam and cleaning, or headache pain evaluation and diagnosis. I strongly believe in Dr. Kim’s work; he is sincere, honest, and probably the most detail-oriented person I have ever met.
When I’m not at work, I enjoy practicing Bikram yoga several times a week, but my true passion is traveling. The last time I traveled around Europe I had a marvelous time! At home, I am kept smiling by my sweet and funny pet named Lily.
Sallie
Dental Hygienist
With roughly 28 years of experience in the dental field, 14 of them here at Ballston Dental Arts, I understand the needs and goals of our patients. I provide education, motivation, and patient care in order to improve the overall quality of life for each patient I meet. It’s a pleasure to get to know them on an individual level, where I am able to learn about the best ways to help them achieve ideal oral health.
I have been happily married to my high school sweetheart for almost 30 years. I am a proud grandma, play racquetball, and enjoy being involved in my community on various social issues.
Tasha
Dental Assistant
I work alongside Dr. Kim and the rest of our team, assisting with all aspects of patient care. My most important job is to make sure each patient is comfortable and understands all aspects of the treatment. Dr. Kim provides such high-quality care, that I feel confident knowing our patients are in such excellent hands.
I come from a large family with seven brothers and sisters, and 12 nieces and nephews. I enjoy spending quality time with them and my friends, write poetry, and get a lot of joy from helping others.
Vanessa
Front Desk/New Patient Coordinator
As one of the first people our patients come in contact with, I am always sure to have a friendly smile and welcoming attitude. I am responsible for scheduling appointments, checking patients in and out, and marketing. Though I only recently joined Ballston Dental Arts, I already feel at home. I love working with Dr. Kim because he really believes in making each patient feel as though the persson is the one and only patient he has. He takes his time to make sure our patients fully understand what is going on with all aspects of their oral health.
In my free time, I love to read and cheer on the Washington Redskins and the Nationals.
