About the Guest:
Dr. Lim's story begins in 1984 when, at the tender age of 8, he left Cambodia, finding refuge from a troubled homeland. His journey of resilience and hope took him to a refugee camp in Thailand, where he stayed until 1989 before making his way to the United States, a move that would set the stage for a bright future he could have only imagined.
Settling in California, Dr. Lim's academic journey was marked by dedication and hard work, culminating in his graduation from high school in 1994. His thirst for knowledge and passion for science led him to the University of California, Irvine, where he earned a Bachelor of Science in 1999, laying the groundwork for his career in dentistry.
The pursuit of his dream took him across the country to Philadelphia, where he attended Temple Dental, earning his degree in 2003. With his expertise in hand, Dr. Lim moved to Las Vegas, where he spent two years honing his skills as an associate before taking the leap to start his own practice, Hillside Dental, in 2005. His dedication to his practice and his patients was evident in the quality care and community trust he built over the years until he sold the practice in 2022.
Today, Dr. Lim enjoys a semi-retired life, yet his passion for dentistry continues. He dedicates every Wednesday morning to working at a practice in Henderson, focusing on what he loves mostâextractions, bone grafts, root canals, and implants. His journey from a young refugee to a successful dentist is a testament to the power of resilience, hard work, and the pursuit of passion.
