About Us

Dear Valued Patient,

It is with mixed emotions that I am writing this letter to announce the sale of my practice. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your continued trust and confidence in permitting me to care for you and your orthodontic needs through the years.

You and your families have helped me to grow professionally and create a thriving practice that delivers personalized, excellent care. Many of you were more than patients, but friends who I looked forward to seeing at each and every visit. However, it is time for me to focus on pursuing some of the goals my family and I have set for ourselves, along with new professional and personal opportunities as well.

In an effort to ensure that my patients continue to receive the best possible care, I have carefully evaluated a number of candidates who were interested in assuming my practice. I have worked with and selected Dr. Nick Kim, a caring and talented orthodontist who possesses the highest qualifications and is extremely well skilled in all aspects of orthodontics. Dr. Kim has been working as an associate orthodontist in the greater Atlanta area and has been treating over 2000 patients.

Dr. Kim is a graduate of University of Alabama at Birmingham and UAB School of Dentistry. He obtained his orthodontic certificate and Master of Dental Science from University of Pittsburgh.

Dr. Kim will be expanding the number of days and hours during which appointments may be made, making it easier to schedule appointments. The office location and telephone numbers will remain the same. I will be working with him over the next six to eight weeks to ensure all of my current patients transition their treatment plans successfully. Dr. Kim and I will work closely together to ensure a smooth transition in response to your specific needs.

I know you will be pleased with Dr. Kim and will extend to him the same courtesy and loyalty that you have afforded me. Again, I want to thank all of you for your support over the years. Please join me in welcoming Dr. Kim to Suwanee as he is a gifted and compassionate orthodontist who truly puts his heart, soul and technical excellence into his work.

Sincerely,
Dr. Oral Francis

I am Dr. Nick Kim and I am passionate about helping patients improve and achieve a beautiful smile. Growing up, I did not have the opportunity to get orthodontic treatment early on.

When I started my orthodontic treatment during dental school, I ended up getting four teeth extracted to correct my smile because it was too late to straighten my teeth without extractions. And even after that, I was not satisfied with my smile. So, I decided to try on all different treatments available. Experiencing the different modalities of treatment personally, I was able to understand the ins-and-outs of patients’ experiences from their perspective.

Through my training and experience as an orthodontist, I believe just straightening teeth does not give one the best version of one’s smile. Rather, a smile should be precisely tailored to each patient’s facial and bone structure and it should be able to reflect on his or her personal needs and tastes as well.

Growing up from the neighboring state of Alabama from high school through dental school, I have always been attracted to Atlanta area for the diversity of attractions and people. During my orthodontic residency from University of Pittsburgh, I met my love of my life and got married. After finishing up my residency, our family’s decision to move to Atlanta was an easy one. Since we moved to Atlanta, our beautiful daughter Ari was born. Our adorable Ari is now just six months old.

I, along with the team from Suwanee Orthodontics, look forward to continuing to provide you and your family with the best quality of care. Our commitment to high quality orthodontic care and patient satisfaction is our utmost priority. As all of us have been doing during the pandemic, we are here to adapt and improve. Let us know how we can help you find the best version of your smile.

Sincerely,
Nick Kim
