Great staff super accommodating and settled my nerves. I hate the dentist and this was the easiest visit I have ever had. Doctor was awesome and I felt super comfortable. Easy parking in the back read more

I was a patient of Dr. Woods for over 20 years, until I moved out of the area in 2000. I have come back to him after all these years because I realized nobody is better, or even close in terms of skill, kindness and painfree dentistry. I have always been a dental chicken. Now, coming back to Dr. Wood I am so happy to be in such good hands, I almost like the dentist. He is a kind gentle man who is about as up to date on modern dentistry as anyone I've been to. The work he has done so far has been perfect and basically pain free. For me it is worth the very long drive to be back in Dr. Woods competent hands read more

I have been goin to Dr. Wood for just about 40 years and he is AMAZING! The Best! Caring! Compassionate! Thorough! Beautiful work! Keeps the pain as minimal as possible. Is very clear about the procedure at hand! Even fun...if you can imagine that at the dentist! I am proud to be his patient! read more

I have been going to Dr. Wood for 10 years. I hadnt seem him for 1 and 1/2 years due to a job I took out of town. In the meantime when I was in town I saw Julian Cheng who was great. Anyway, I saw Dr. Wood today because I had a bad experience with an oral surgeon who never got back to me after an emergency over the weekend. I went into Dr. Wood for his opiinion about the status of my mouth because I trusted him. During the entire visit, Dr.Wood was very cold to me and when he spoke to the oral surgeon, he said that my mouth looked great and that I was lying about the pain In was in. He said that I did not have an infection after barely looking into my mouth even though I went to St. John's Emergency during the weekend with a 100 degree fever and pus like discharge draining from the surgery site. The E.R. doctor confirmed I had a severe infection and gave me different antibiotics and a stong antibiotic injection.. Dr. Wood told the oral surgeon that he would "KICK ME BACK TO HIM" which I felt was extremely disrespectful. He also said that he hadn;t "seen this patient"( meaning me) for a year and a half so I really was " not hiis patient" even though I had been going there for over 10 years. When I left, he had the nerve to ask for payment. Payment for what? To be insulted? I left that office very hurt and in tears. I DID NOTHING TO DESERVE THAT TYPE OF TREATMENT! I don't knopw if he was having a bad day or what but when someone is in the business of helping clients, thay need to leave their problems at the door. Even if Dr. Wood disagreed with me, he sure didn't have to tell me that "he would drop kick me" back to an oral surgeon that he knew I did not want to return to see. SHAME ON DR. WOOD! read more

I'm writing this review as a former dental associate (and patient) of 3 years. He is one of the most honest and proficient dentists I know. He taught for over 15 years at USC, and still goes on mission trips once a year for charity. If you are looking for a great dental home, and would not like to cross east of the 405, I would highly recommend a visit to Dr. Charles & Jennifer Wood. read more

Look no further, Dr Woods and his team were fantastic. Highly recommended.

I've had so many good experiences here. Dr. Wood and his staff are kind, gentle, funny, and easy to work with. I've seen four dentists (my fault not theirs) and each was a happy experience. Yes, happy. I am actually happy when I leave Dr. Wood's office. Everyone there is good but JoAnna Rubin is GREAT. I've had two procedures with her that I was terrified of, and I left with no pain and in great spirits. Thanks JoAnna! Parking: Free and convenient Appointments: Easy to make Staff: Lovely read more

Fanciest new CO2 laser made a recent filling replacement a breeze, didn't even need novocaine. I enjoy the whole crew at this dentistry very much - all very nice helpful. Hygienists, the doctors, and most recently Dr. Wood thanks for teaching me something new while also swapping out the filling. Highly recommend. read more

I've been coming here since I was a baby-- literally, a baby! My first dentist was Dr. Woods and my whole family comes here. The dentists are wonderful-- attentive, calm, helpful, friendly, and dedicated. I know most people can't believe that going to the dentist is a nice experience, but every time I leave after a cleaning, I've got a big clean smile on my face! I recommend Dr. Woods, his daughter Dr. Jennifer Woods, and Dr. Chen because all three of them are fantastic. I'm going to Dr. Chen now and he's been wonderful. If you're looking for a dentist in the Santa Monica/West LA area, you have to come here! read more

I recently had my routine cleaning. I changed jobs and have new insurance. I called ahead to make sure that they take my new insurance and they told me they did. Now 2 months later after the service, I am slammed with a $115 bill because they are not an "in network" provider. If they had told me about this upfront when I called, I wouldn't have to pay this unexpected charge. I do not recommend going here. Not happy. read more

Dr. Wood has one of the best personalities and demeanors of any doctor or dentist I have ever had. He is calm and always asks how you are doing. He never seems rushed and is there to answer any questions you may have. He also teaches and participates in Doctors Without Borders programs where he provides free dental services in developing countries. It makes you feel good to support a doctor who is such a nice person. read more

I have been going to Dr. Charles C. Wood, DDS for many years, always takes great care of me, and my grandmother, too. Great staff, super talented hygienists (Jo Anna, and the the whole group), clean office with the latest state-of-the art equipment provides for a pleasant experience and super competent care. This is a top-notch operation, and I have had a lot of work done over the years (regular cleanings, fillings when needed, x-rays, mouth ulcer diagnosis, they even filed down a problem back tooth that was cutting my tongue and didn't add to my cleaning bill). Coolest dentist in the world, heck he is even a surfer! A complete pro who makes everyone feel special, I cannot recommend Dr. Wood and his staff more for all your dental needs. read more

I have known Dr. Wood for some 25 years, both socially and professionally. I can say that he is without question one of the most talented, ethical and generous individuals I have ever encountered. The work done in his offices, whether by him or one of his associates, is always careful, thoughtful and comprehensive. Though he is now in the process of cutting back on his practice and turning the day-to-day operation of the offices over to his daughter, Jennifer, his values and philosophy continue to exert profound effect upon all those who work with and for him. You could not do better than to call these offices for your next dental appointment. read more

Dr. Wood was very patient with me and perfected my front teeth. Thank you very much to him and his kind staff!

Great dentist, highly recommend! They do a great job cleaning teeth, Dr is very knowledgable.

This 1 star rating is for the staff at Dr. Wood's office. I had been going to that office as Dr. Chen's patient for 10 years. Now Dr. Chen has moved out on his own, those things happen. I called this office to get the phone number to his new office and they indicated they didn't have his new number that he didn't leave it with them and I could find it on the web. How completely unprofessional to a patient that had contributed 10 years to the growth of that office. Furthermore when they answered the phone they still said Dr. Chen's name in their greeting, obviously trying to hold on to his old patients. Completely unprofessional and unethical. read more

I had 2 of my amalgam fillings removed at Dr. Wood's office, by the man himself, and i have to confess that i was pretty impressed with his professionalism and skill. He made sure that none of the mercury filling that was being drilled touched my mouth by using a magnificent device called a dam. I was out of there in one hour extremely satisfied. I highly recommend him! read more

I was referred to Dr. Wood by a work colleague when I had to find a new dentist after moving to Santa Monica from KY. I am thrilled to find Dr. Wood. He is very much a gentleman and is very thoughtful. He explains everything that he is doing and cares about the comfort of his patients. All of the staff in the office are equally as kind and helpful. I recommend him without any hesitation and am so happy that he is now my dentist. read more

I moved out of Santa Monica and it's now a half hour drive (sometimes more) to Dr. Wood, but I still go there. He is so good, such a gentleman, and everyone in the office is lovely. I keep thinking I should find someone local, but cannot bring myself to leave him! read more

Wow!!! What a great experience...again!!! Dr. Charles Wood's work is brilliant and just when I was losing faith in people being kind, he and his staff, quickly restored it. It's really wonderful to know how a kind gesture can change a person's day. So, really, if you are looking for the best and you appreciate your teeth-then look no further, this is your guy :) read more

Dr Charles Wood is an awesome dentist. I changed to him (and his daughter when he is unavailable) about 5 years ago and have been nothing but happy. His care is excellent, he is conservative and does not propose (as an interim dentist did) major work that is not necessary. He is kind, thoughtful, and a wonderful professional. And I have high standards. i cannot recommend him enough. read more

I moved across country in 1990, and somehow en route I broke a tooth, thus beginning a 22 year relationship with my favorite dentist! He is wise and kind, with a gentle touch, and incredibly skilled. Now that I have a family I sent my husband and his brother (both legendary dental wimps), as well as my children and my mother in law to this practice. I love a family-run business. I have yet to be seen by Dr. Wood's daughter, but we have all seen Dr. Chen who is very kind and gentle, and also a great dentist. What else can I say? Location is amazing, one block from my son's school. The practice accepts my insurance and the support staff is terrific. read more

Wood and Cheng dental was amazing. Dr Cheng fixed a tooth for me in 20 mins on a visit to LA. Unbelievable!!
