I have been taking my parents to see Dr. Kamins since the beginning of this year. My mom is in the process of having a big dental job done. Dr. Kamins had to pick up her treatment half way through after my mom moved to Santa Monica, having the first half of the work done by a previous dentist. So far everything has gone smoothly. The only small delay has been with the outside lab that they use but I assume that is not within their control. Dr. Kamins has a very calm disposition which is helpful for my mom who is a little old lady. He's also friendly and makes my parents comfortable. I would like to specifically mention Emil, who works very closely with Dr. Kamins. He has been incredibly kind, helpful and patient with my parents and me. He has been accommodating in terms of getting my mom in to see the doctor. (There have been a lot of visits) He has personally followed up with me with each item along the way and he always calls back promptly if I leave him a message. He's a superstar. The front desk staff is very friendly. Office is clean and bright. Parking garage always has spots however we go up a few levels because we need handicap parking. Last, but not least, I believe that the cost of his treatment is fair and reasonable. Competitive with other respected dentists in the area. My mom's dental work isn't complete just yet, but our experience thus far has been very positive. read more

BEST DENTIST I'VE EXPERIENCED!! Dr. Phil Kamins' use of biomimetic dentistry is impressive. Beyond his highly skilled quality of work and care for patients, his office is professionally run and his dental assistants and staff are all attentive and friendly. I can't recommend Dr Kamins and his team enough! Tom F. read more

Where do I begin. I've been coming to Dr. Phil for almost my whole life (20+ years at least). He's always been in the same spot and for the most part has had the same staff, Sage! Anyway he's a bit pricey but the work he does is great! I actually had a different dentist comment on how incredible one of my fillings was considering it was so deep and most dentists wouldn't have been able to fill. Dr. Phil is amazing and so are all of his staff. He keeps the vibe very relaxed and tries to make you smile. They literally do really know you and while they can be a bit pushy with annual cleanings (which I'm really behind on) it's only because they want your teeth to be healthy! I love Dr. Phil! read more

Dr. Kamins has been our family's dentist for 13 years. He and his staff have been wonderful with our kids and us. He puts us all at ease and if you need dental work, he is a master with needle of anesthetic. Valerie coordinates all our appointments around our crazy schedules and is lovely to talk to. Highly recommend his dental office to everyone I know. read more

The best. Been with Dr. Phil with my family for twenty years. He and the whole office are top notch. Frankly, there is no better .... read more

Who likes going to the Dentist? I think that I'm not alone when I ask this. So...when I find that someone(s) who can actually make what could be an unpleasant experience, pleasant, then I do have to write about it! So, I'm actually giving a huge shout out! Dr. Phil (the dentist that is) is an incredibly patient and skilled Dentist. I have had him fill cavities as well as give me a dental implant. He treats me as if I am the only patient that he has. His kindness along with his incredible ability to sing along with every single song on the radio and know every word while conducting the most intricate of procedures is amazing! I also want to give props to the Dental Hygienist, Terri. Never have I met a more nurturing and skilled Hygienist. Between these two and a very friendly and responsive front desk as well as truly joyous assistants, they have the art of turning what could be a drag into a pretty darn decent experience. read more

I have no reserrvations in recommending this dentist and his WONDERFUL staff! I actually had a good time...that sounds completely mad, I know. True however. woo hoo. indeed! read more

I brought my daughter in for nothing more than a teeth cleaning. Anticipated cost $100. I walked out more than $450 poorer. They did 4 sealants on her without my permission and still expected me to pay! Haven't been back. read more

My wife, kids and I are huge Dr K fans! Our girls have only had positive experiences with Dr K and his staff and my wife is in the middle of a tooth implant process. She went in today and came out raving and beaming! I mean who goes to the dentist and exits in that manner? Over dinner she wanted to give us the play by play Dr Kamins style, telling us all the details from the Xrays Dr K exclaimed over, to the gentle and reassuring way he talked to her before, during and after the procedure. If I wasn't a confident man I'd worry about losing my wife to the dentist! Oh, and did I mention...Dr Kamins sings along with a rock oldies station as he works! He has a good voice too...Wonderful to put yourself in the caring and artful hands of someone who loves what they do so much that they sing through each procedure! - OK, that was my wife's quote! If you are looking for a dentist - Dr. Kamins is your guy! read more

Dr. Kamins and the staff are fantastic. Dr. Woolley is wonderful. Sage and Debbie are absolute gems. My husband and I have been patients for years and are very pleased with their work. I am a reformed dental chicken thanks to them! read more

Dr. Kamins and staff are the best! Always do a great job and are extremely courteous and efficient.

I had an appointment at Dr. Phil's today. The staff was amazing and so caring. Dr. Phil gave me such sweet care and attention. I really appreciated this as going to the dentist is usually filled with discomfort and pain. I felt compelled to share this positive experience with others. read more

I had a few scheduling issues. Partly i am to blame but office did not help much. I had the wrong day once . I drooped everything to rush to the appointment once after they called only to be told they cant see me when i arrived. PS: I owe them SIXTY bucks for a now show.. after six years of service.. So i fired them! read more

I just moved to LA, and my previous dentist had told me I had 1 cavity, and that I might need a couple sealants. I went in here for what was supposed to be a 1/2 hours appointment. Instead, I was there for 2 hours. I got new x-rays, but the tech kept messing up so I was exposed to about 2x as much x-ray as necessary. Then the dentist kept coming in and out to see me between other patients, and he told me that I had at least 2 cavities, I need about 5 sealants, and I should probably get braces (which I have never been told before, and I am 33!). In general it was rushed, even though I was there all afternoon, and I don't really trust his assessment since it is not what a dentist I do trust just told me a couple months ago. I have a friend who does like him, and another friend who sees him but is ambivalent, so it could have been just a bad day there, or it could be me, but I will not be going back. read more

I am new to town and didn't have a dentist. I had a very bad tooth ache and initially went to see this dentist for the tooth ache. A month later the same tooth was still hurting and not taken care off. Fillings were ignored for months and eventually tooths had to have root canals. I could not get an appointment and when I tried they were months apart. I was sick and missed an appointment and was kicked out of the dentist office. This office really needs to get it together and help people instead of hurting. If you want to have more dental problems this is the place to go. I am so disappointed in this place, they also charge an outrageous amount of money for very little work. read more

This is a great practice. My kids go her for pediatric dentistry and I go as an adult. I have never had anything but an outstanding experience here. Everyone is friendly, and does their job extremely well. Juliana is the hygienist that I've seen twice, and she does an amazingly thorough job. Dr. Kamins is a pleasure to see and he gives recommendations that I can trust. He's not pushy, and I never feel like I'm being upsold. I highly recommend this practice. read more

THE BEST Dentist and the BEST office!!!!!!!! Dr. Phil is honest, hard working and caring!

I've been going to Dr. Kamins office for many years. He is a true asset to the Pacific Palisades community. Dr. Kamins takes his time with patients and does a very thorough exam. Make sure to call for you appt. soon because he has a booming practice. read more

Had my teeth cleaned at Dr. Kamins today. Got the usual warm and friendly reception and the best teeth cleaning, non painful x-rays and a check over by Dr. Kamins. My husband and I first met Dr. Kamins at midnight twenty four years ago. We had recently to the Palisades when my husband suddenly complained of horrible pain in one of his teeth. I mean, unbearable pain. What do you do at that hour when you don't even have a dentist. Short of going to a hospital for a pain shot, we looked in the phone book hoping to remember the name of a woman we met who said she and a great dentist in the Palisades called Dr. Phil. There was only one small problem. The number in the phone book was his mother's and we woke her up. She was as pleasant as could be but said he no longer lived there and that he had his own home number now. She assured us it was okay to call him and probably wake him up. So we did and he met us a half hour later at his first office in the Palisades. There have only been a couple more times when one of us suddenly had a painful problem and he always took us in on the same day we called. I'm 70 years old and have seen quite a few dentists in different cities and this guy is tops. Nancy Kandal, Pacific Palisades read more

I have always hated going to the dentist. His staff always make me feel welcome and help me overcome my fears. From the moment I walk in to the moment I leave I am cared for. I couldn't recommend Dr. Kamins and his staff anymore than this! read more

Dr. Phil Kamins is truly special! His work is of the highest caliber! I am so delighted to have such an outstanding dentist! His expertise is coupled with amazing compassion and a sense of fun! Our son was born with a rare disorder for which he's had to see numerous doctors through his young life, causing him to feel extreme anxiety leading up to and during medical and dental appointments. When we found Dr. Phil and explained this to him he was totally understanding. He approaches each visit with our son in the most thoughtful of ways to put our son at ease, such as showing him all of the tools, letting him feel them on his hands to desensitize him, and giving him little tasks he can help with. Now our son loves to go to the dentist! He loves Dr. Phil! He wants to be a dentist when he grows up! As a mom, watching this transformation, I am extremely grateful to Dr. Phil and his excellent staff for the great work they do!!! My husband and I are patients of Dr. Phil's as well and have our own sets of dental issues for which Dr. Phil and his staff have always provided the FINEST level of care with warmth and kindness! We're lucky to have found out about Dr. Phil and wanted to spread the word! read more
