I'm not a fan of going to the dentist. I never have been. The paperwork, the intimidating-looking tools, and even the smell of a dental office have always made me anxious. After putting it off for far too long, I finally scheduled an appointment with Dr. Warren Kaufman at Kaufman Dentistry--and I'm so glad I did. I was greeted by Ruth, a genuinely kind dental assistant who took my X-rays. Judging by those images, my mouth looked like a pirate's treasure chest that had been sitting at the bottom of the ocean for centuries! Dr. Warren Kaufman has an incredibly warm and welcoming demeanor. He took the time to carefully explain everything he found on my X-rays, answered all of my questions, and walked me through the treatment options without making me feel rushed or judged. Last but certainly not least, I met Harris, the dental hygienist. Harris is exceptional at what he does. He patiently removed years of buildup from my teeth and gums with incredible care and precision. Watching him work reminded me of a marine biologist carefully scraping barnacles from a gray whale. By the time he was finished, I felt just as grateful as the whale probably would! From start to finish, everyone at Kaufman Dentistry made me feel comfortable and genuinely cared for. If you've been avoiding the dentist like I was, I highly recommend giving them a try. I'm happy to have finally found a dental office I can call home. read more

Kaufman Dentistry - General Dentistry Near Me - Culver City, California

Been with them decades.....previously many other dentists in my 75 years. The best of all. I drive a solid hour each way to use them.

Straightforward, honest, and attentive. Dr. Matt is the best, it's a huge relief finding someone I trust my dental care with.

In a world where emergencies can strike at the most inconvenient times, it is truly remarkable to encounter a healthcare professional who prioritizes patient care above all else. Dr. Warren Kaufman exemplifies this dedication through his extraordinary commitment to his patients, as demonstrated by his willingness to open his dental office on Thanksgiving Day to perform an emergency root canal for me. This review aims to highlight not only the exceptional service I received but also the profound impact of Dr. Kaufman's actions on my experience during a time of need. The Emergency Situation: On Thanksgiving morning, I found myself in excruciating pain due to a dental issue that had escalated overnight. The discomfort was unbearable, and I knew that I needed immediate attention. I was desperate for help. I knew that Dr. Kaufman's office was closed, but the thought of enduring the pain until the following week was daunting. While I also did not want to disturb anyone on Thanksgiving, I decided to reach out through the emergency line anyway. Dr. Kaufman's Remarkable Response: Upon contacting Dr. Kaufman's emergency line, I heard back from Matt right away, asking what is going on. I explained the situation and he informed me that he is out of town as well, but would reach out to his father to see if he could assist. Once Dr. Warren Kaufman contacted me, I was met with an unexpected warmth and understanding right away. Dr. Kaufmann informed me that he would see me right away, on Thanksgiving Day--a testament to his compassion and dedication to patient care. I was in tears! When I arrived at the office, I was greeted not only by a friendly face but also by an atmosphere of professionalism and calmness that immediately put me at ease despite my distressing situation. Dr. Kaufman himself welcomed me with genuine concern and empathy, taking the time to listen to my symptoms before proceeding with any treatment. The Procedure: After taking X-Rays, Dr. Kaufman explained the root canal procedure in detail, ensuring that I understood each step while alleviating any fears I had about the process. His expertise was evident as he skillfully performed the procedure with precision and care. Throughout the treatment, he continuously checked in on my comfort level, demonstrating not just technical proficiency but also an admirable bedside manner. Thanks to Dr. Kaufman's meticulous approach and reassuring presence, what could have been a traumatic experience turned into one of relief and utmost gratitude. The pain subsided almost immediately after the procedure was completed, allowing me to be at ease, without discomfort. Conclusion: Dr. Warren Kaufman is more than just a dentist; he is a true HERO in every sense of the word. His willingness to sacrifice his holiday for the sake of his patients speaks volumes about his character and commitment to healthcare excellence. For anyone seeking dental care--especially in emergencies--I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Kaufman without reservation. His actions reinforced my belief in compassionate healthcare providers who go above and beyond for their patients. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!!! read more

Longtime patient here (over 20 years)! Matt and Warren are really, really, good at what they do! These guys go above and beyond. My wife is also a client and she agrees wholeheartedly. Want an example? Here's a recent one: On a SATURDAY MORNING my front tooth broke and, as luck would have it, the next morning I was due to leave Los Angeles for several weeks. What to do? Well, Matt came in, again, ON A SATURDAY, to ensure I wouldn't have to spend the next three weeks looking like I lost a boxing match. That's incredible dedication and effort that is very hard to find in Los Angeles. Become a patient here, you'll be glad you did!! read more

Both Matt and Warren have given me excellent care over the past decade or so. And they were very nice -- until I asked for information that they didn't take the time to give me. I wasn't really paying attention to how much they charged, until my husband was charged considerably less. When I asked why my fee was higher, I was told that it was for "periodontic cleaning," When I asked what that was, Matt responded that it was "standard treatment," sent me an article to read, and suggested I go for a second opinion. I didn't want to go for a second opinion.What I wanted was for one of them to take the time to explain to me what periodontic cleaning is, and why I needed it. That doesn't seem like too much to ask. But both of them were "too busy" to answer me. So I will not be going back to them. read more

I've had 2 horrible experiences at other dentist offices in the last 2 years, that made me lose hope in all dentists but Kaufman dentistry has definitely helped me gain hope back! I've only visited twice, but today I saw Dr Matt and hygienist Ally, both of whom were great. I was presented options but not pressured at all to pay for anything extra. My cleanings in the past have been extremely painful but Ally was amazing, she was gentle, thorough and explained everything. She also took time to teach me how I could take care of my teeth better and recommended some affordable products I could add to my dental health toolkit. Also, everything was very efficient and clean (and as an infection control nurse, this is extremely important to me). Very pleased overall. read more

This office is amazing. Dr. Matthew Kaufman and Dr. Warren Kaufman are two of the best dentists I've ever been to and the staff are absolutely wonderful. Everyone, including the dentists are so friendly and down-to-earth. I enjoy coming here, and the atmosphere is high-tech, and yet the prices are on-par to other places. I enjoy seeing my dental hygienist every 6 months. I also had my most recent nightguard (for upper teeth) done here for night-time TMJ. What I am so impressed by is that they utilize scanning (and it is very personalized, with scanning that takes into account both the positioning of the upper teeth and lower teeth. The office thankfully does not use molds as these cannot be stored to the secure cloud to be used later, and are less precise. I have had molds done at other places years ago, and still some places do them. I am thrilled, with my previous orthodontic work, that I do not have to worry if my retainers ever were to break, including my nightguard - serving the TMJ and retainer function (which by the way is VERY STRONG) on a long weekend, and my teeth moved, I could simply come back and have the scan from the cloud produced and not have an uncomfortable mold done of my teeth. I look forward to coming back here for all of my dental work. Keep in mind that it depends on the office if they choose to do the molds (which don't store the images in the cloud to be used again) or the scans (which do, and this office does). Thanks Dr. Kaufman and your incredible staff. I just could go on and on about how wonderful this practice has been to me. The pricing is so fair. The parking is not challenging. I always find street parking! read more

I love this office, and I love Dr. Matt. His bedside manner is unmatched. He does work very gently, always checking on how I feel during the process. The "recovery phase" is typically non-existent; everything feels back to normal almost immediately. The best of the best. The staff is also very friendly, professional, and helpful. So lucky to have Kaufman Dentistry this close to me! read more

I've been going here for years. I park at the Best Buy across the street. It's a small family owned/run practice. Dad, son, and once another dentist. I've been seen by all three and like it. All the assistants and dental techs have been there for years too. Clean, on time, well run, lotsa magazines in the waiting room, helpful staff, attentive care. They always remind you the day before your appt with a call too. No complaints. 2/1/13 - Let's revise that, one small complaint. Was asked to fill out a new form. Asked why and they said they are having all patients fill it out. At this point I should have been more assertive and asked point blank if it was mandatory. Instead like an idiot I just frown, tell them I am not felling well and sit down to fill out the form. Questions ask about sleeping/snoring. When I return it I ask what it's for and they said it's a new service they provide on sleep apnea. So unwelcome and perturbed that staff are prob informed to make everyone fill it out as if it is mandatory. Ugh. Will continue to come here, but will be wiser to ask point blank from any service provider what the form is for and if mandatory. Stink eye! (I told my dentist all this and that I was annoyed too. He took it in stride!) read more

Kaufman Dentistry - General Dentistry Near Me - Culver City, California

Dr. Kaufman (I go to Dr. Matt) is truly the best dentist I've ever had, and there's really nothing I can think of that this office could be doing better. EVERYONE in the practice, from the front office, to the hygienists, x-ray techs, and of course Dr. Matt and his dad Warren, are exceptionally competent and friendly. During the pandemic they have inspired confidence in their COVID safety protocols. I actually enjoy going to the dentist! Over the last several years, Dr. Kaufman has completed all my restorations (of other dentists' work), and did one implant. I especially love that crowns, onlays and inlays are all manufactured onsite while you wait. No more messy fittings, temporary crowns, and then having to come back two weeks later to complete the work. Basically it's two hours and you're done. It's obvious that Dr. Matt genuinely loves what he does, takes pride in his work, and is constantly striving to stay up to date with the latest technology; but only using tech that actually improves care. No question, Kaufman Dentistry gets 5 out of 5. read more

Dr. Warren Kaufman is in a league of his own. I visited Dr. Kaufman after a referral from Dr. Bornstein at Culver City Orthodontics (who is also great btw). Frankly, I don't remember the last time I experienced a Dr. who cares, listens, and is paying as much attention as Dr. Kaufman. In a day and age where most of medicine feels more like a "McDonalds - one billion served" machine - Dr. Kaufman breaks that mold and sets an example for Drs. everywhere. I appreciated Dr. Kaufman's bedside manner, his attention to detail, and his diagnostician's eye. Don't hesitate to visit Dr. Kaufman for even a minute! read more

This dental office is fantastic!!! The dentists are a father-son practice (Warren and Matthew). I just had two crowns placed on front teeth, Dr Warren kept checking with me throughout, reminding me we could take a break any time, offering more anesthetic if needed. I have also had work done by Matthew who is just as great. The two collaborated on designing my new crowns like they were artists. The results were perfect! I felt like that was truly their goal! read more

Returned after a 4-5 year hiatus and they welcomed me back with open arms! I seldom write reviews, so consider how incredible the two Drs. and the entire team (shout outs to Susan) are - the Kaufman Dentistry are beyond the gold standard for what dentistry practice should be. They took me in the same day (rare), before Thanksgiving (rare!), and fixed my crown in under an hour. Upfront about costs - great trust here! As always: Professional, Knowledgeable, Friendly, Clean (Covid-safe practices), and Newly Expanded :) read more

Best experience here. They got me in easily in an emergency situation. Dr.Kaufman (father) was gentle... respectful and didn't try to sell me a new set of teeth like other dentists. He listened and got done what needed to be done in a timely manner. Very much recommend this office. Everyone is friendly and kind. read more

They understand that dental health includes not only preventing problems, but also facilitating your best smile. From maintenance to connection, with a good laugh and warm banter to boot-you will have a positive experience with professionals you can rely on to have your best interests at heart. Thinking of making a change? Contact them! read more

This place is awesome! The office is run super efficiently and professionally. I was informed of every tiny step that was being taken throughout my visit, which was very much appreciated. I saw the son of the pair, Matt, who was very nice and took the time to thoroughly explain everything about my teeth. The office is very clean and they have ample patient rooms. Even though I had a 9am appt. with 5-6 other people, I was leaving the office in under 45 min. For new patients, you have to come back for a cleaning and/or work to be done, I.E., your first appt. is just a consult and X-rays. Honestly, that part doesn't even bother me because I had such a great experience. I'm looking forward to my appt. in Dec. for my cleaning! read more

I've been with Dr. Matt Kaufman for almost 10 years, and even though I'm a little outside of West LA, he's worth the drive. He practices in the office his father started and maintains that tradition of excellence. Dr. K is up on all the techniques and technology, and he's honest. I trust his judgment and treatment on all the tooth problems I have had. If you need a dental office to take care of you, this is the one. read more

Just finished a root canal with Dr. Warren Kaufman. There was zero pain. I was absolutely 100% comfortable the entire time. The Kaufman gents are top notch!! I know that I am getting quality work with both Warren and Matthew Kaufman. They are professional without being stuffy. Their friendly demeanor puts me at ease every time. Even though I have insurance elsewhere, I come to Kaufman dentistry because I know that I'm getting quality work with the Kaufmans. Thank you Dr. Warren for the painless root canal! Job well done! read more

I came here a few months ago for a check up and cleaning. I highly recommend Kaufman Dentistry. They are friendly and professional. They did a very complete check up, listened to all my questions and saw me on time. My cleaning was great, very much pain free and straight forward. read more

Kaufman Dentistry - Gabriel The Best in The West - General Dentistry Near Me - Culver City, California

See all

I cannot say enough good things about there guys. They are careful, they listen, and they don't overcharge.

Ok, I hear how much folks love the efficient, caring treatment. That's good. This is a review with respect to their business practice. They take anthem, and even they do bill for you. What they do not do is accept anthem's terms of the business fronting the money. This means you have to cover the full cost of the treatment up front, and can not even be reimbursed from an FSA while anthem slowly mulls over what they're going to do. This means the dentist will not trust me but I must trust him and I must trust anthem. Everything about third party insurance sucks. But this dentist opting out of playing their part is a little like refusing a union (just a little like it, not a perfect analogy by any means). They accept the benefit and layout no risk, putting it all on a small single person while they're a (relatively) big business. Its absurd. This should be their cost of doing business. They can absorb the cash flow and the risk too. They may not like it but it is the bad system we use here in America, sanctioned by their own medical profession. They chose to be part of that profession and its scurvy billing practices, then they decide to pull out and let someone else shoulder the unpleasant aspects. So why is everyone ok with this, giving these glowing reviews? For We Like Sheep? These guys are making a point that this is a sucky system. But they assume no responsibility for doing so, just take their cookies and go home. We are left holding the bag. So not ok. read more

Dr. Matt does great work both cosmetic and restorative! Highly recommended office and staff, fair pricing especially for the level of work he does. read more

Came in today for a cleaning/check-up and everything about Kaufman Dentistry was fantastic. The staff is so friendly and really care about their patients. The office is clean and up-to-date as far as medical tech goes. I actually had fun at the dentist! I will definitely be coming here from now on for all my dental needs :) Thanks Kaufman Dentistry! read more

We truly can't recommend this dental practice more strongly!!! Both Dr. Kaufman and Dr. Matt are exceptional. Plus, their staff and hygienists are soooo warm, focused, and on top of things. My husband and I have gone to Kaufman Dentistry for crown issues, cleanings, and other cosmetic work, and we know from years of issues that this team is bar none. Their use of technology and their understanding of what can/cannot be done is extraordinary! Just one visit and you'll know exactly why we (and soooo many others) love this practice and would never go anywhere else! Honestly, I personally have had some terrible dental experiences - but in the hands of these two, I feel safe, blessed and in the very, very best of hands. read more

The doctor and his son are amazing there's neighborhood gyms been around for a long time they are growing and only getting better and getting my teeth done there for over a decade recently just got a crown done it was painless they made the crown on sites I was in and out in one hour kind of amazing will continue to go to the dentist for as long as I live in Los Angeles as well as my family read more

The best dental office! Dr. Matt, Dr. Warren, and the staff at Kaufman Dentistry are always so cheerful and welcoming. I had an appointment to get some fillings and an onlay done today. I was a little nervous at first, but Dr. Matt explained the whole process to me and made me feel at ease throughout the entire procedure. This office utilizes cutting edge technology, which makes me feel even more confident that I am getting the best care. All of my dental work was done in just a couple of hours and I couldn't be happier with the results. I can't recommend this office enough! Update: I went back to the office today to receive a nightguard since I grind at night. While I was in the office everyone was so friendly and professional as usual. And like last visit, I felt completely safe in regards to Covid-19. I moved to LA less than a year ago and am so happy that I have found such a great office. I have had nothing but great experiences here so far read more

I had an emergency with my tooth and Dr Kaufman made arrangements to see me on Saturday (his office is closed so I appreciate he made an exception for me) He was finished within one hour and followed up with me via text later on in the evening. I believe Dr Kaufman cares about his patients and I would recommend using him if you're in L.A read more

Dr. Matt has checked on my teeth for me on and off. His advice is always spot on. His office staff and Dr. Warren are always polite too. I only wish they did house calls!! read more

The Kaufman's are wonderful dentist. I have been in the medical field for 28 years and I must say I love how this practice is ran. It is very clean, the equipment is modern, the staff is very efficient and friendly. I was referred to Dr Kaufman by my boss who says the Kaufman doctors are quality dentist. I so agree. I have had root canals and crowns by Dr Warren Kaufman (father) and a crown by Dr Matthew Kaufman (son) and I can honestly say it was almost painless, just a little pinch with the injection and the rest was painless. I highly recommend this dental practice!!! read more

Kaufman and Kaufman duo are amazing. A great Father and son team that are great at what they do. They have been my dentists for years and I can't rave enough about them. Thank you guys for being great dentists. read more

It's weird to actually look forward to going to the dentist, but twice a year I can say that's my truth. Dr. Matt is funny, thorough and genuinely passionate about the work that he does. He and Dr. Warren work hard to create a cutting-edge, friendly and accessible practice -- and it shows! read more

Matt has been my dentist for about five years now. He is totally dedicated to his quality of work and a real perfectionist. Im not kidding, he seems excited for every procedure. His bedside manner is excellent, always ready for small talk and in depth explanation of his work. I always have a bunch of questions and talk his ear off about the procedure before he even picks up an instrument. He answers all my questions and shows me all the scans and x rays on the tv, explaining exactly whats going on. If i'm having an issue with just one tooth i make an appt, see matt that week, take one x ray instead of a hundred, and he figures out whats going on before wasting any more time or money. His staff and billing department quotes you for exactly what you need before any procedure or office visit, helpful for patients like me who pay cash. I have had cleaning sessions with several different assistants here and they're all excellent. I started coming here when I worked nearby. Now I live in Pasadena and work all over but still drive all the way to Culver for dentist appts. read more

It was my first time getting a crown and I was a bit nervous. Before getting started, Dr. Matt explained the procedure and reminded me why treatment was recommended. He was gentle, caring, and thorough. He is dedicated to executing his best work possible and his work shows. He exceeded all of my expectations and I highly recommend Dr. Matt and his team. Lori, his assistant, was sweet and patient. She was always checking in and made me feel comfortable. I left very happy and I am grateful to have this elite dental team in Los Angeles! read more

This is the best dental practice in LA. I've gone through the long process of having implants and it's taken nearly a year to complete but I have a new smile. But even if you only want the best teeth cleaning in town, make an appt with Gabrielle and see what the fuss is about. A family run business with state of the art dentistry. read more

Let's just say there's a reason these guys have so many five star reviews. I have had dental work done by both father and son and both of them are extremely friendly and good at what they do. I got a crown and he even let me watch the machine mill my new tooth, amazing technology! Some other things that impressed me: - When my parking meter was running low they even ran out to fill it up on more than one occasion. - They let me use their fridge for my lunch since it was a morning appointment before I had been in the office. - They showed me photos of the work that was being done and explained in detail what was going to happen. - All of the staff was friendly and helpful - Clean and nice office My favorite dentist, I'm only sad that I'm moving and can't bring them with me. read more

Today was my second appointment and the hygienist is fabulous I tell you!! She made sure I was comfortable and for once someone cared about my sensitive tooth's with that dam numbing gel which she mentioned she would make detailed notes to not use the numbing gel. The only cons is that the front desk discusses the financial part in the lobby so everyone hears your personal business. read more

To be honest this is the best dentist I have ever had. The staff is welcoming and they are very clean. I recommend this dentist to any and everybody hands down you won't be disappointed he always looked out for me and took good care of my teeth. Scale to 1-10 he's a 100 thank you Dr. Kaufman read more

Kaufman Dentistry - Best Dentist not even lying - General Dentistry Near Me - Culver City, California

Let me get to the point: Warren and Matt Kaufman are fantastic dentists. After being recommended to visit them by a co-worker, I can honestly say they are the best dentists I've ever had. I've gotten my wisdom teeth pulled, had a root canal and had fillings put in. Everyone I know has always experienced tons of pain with the wisdom teeth and root canal items. Not once did I have pain, soreness sure (can't be helped), but nothing like everyone else has told me. Everyone who works there that I've met so far have been extremely friendly and nice. These guys are great and if you think your dentist sucks, give them a try. read more
