No no nope. Went here for a redo of root canal that still haunts me today. It took me awhile to be able to write this. It was a nightmare. He leaned over me put his arm on my chest bruising ribs, didn't wear a mask during covid, sweated and got mad and frustrated. It was the WORST experience. I had to go back twice to get it finished. I told office about my concerns for the 2nd visit. I didn't want to go back. He was better 2nd time but managed to pulverized my tooth to the gum line. Never stopped hurting and lost tooth. The whole ordeal was traumatic and his behavior was not professional. Cost me a lot of money for unresolved pain ptsd and then tooth removal. I wished I had never stepped foot in there. read more

Dr. Brockman is THE BEST OF THE BEST! He is a Harvard & USC trained brilliant dentist who's done at least 6 root canals for me with utmost perfection. His experience is unmatched and his talent and expertise is AMAZING! He's been doing this for decades and when I'm in his chair, I trust him 1 million percent. Root canals can be scary-but with Dr. Brockman, you're in the best hands! No one has more experience than he does and has dedicated his life to achieving this outstanding level of excellence. read more

I had a cyst under a crowned tooth on my lower jaw, right side, second-to-last tooth. It was first discovered accidentally in 2022 in Moscow, and I was advised to just monitor it. In July 2023, I visited Dr. Brockman, who insisted on removing the cyst but said the crown did not need to be removed, unlike my Moscow doctors, who said the tooth would need extraction if it became problematic. Although I had no discomfort, I trusted him, and he performed an apicoectomy, filled it with bone powder, and sent me home to heal. Everything seemed fine during follow-ups, but eight months after the surgery, my gum became inflamed, causing unbearable pain. Dr. Brockman performed a second apicoectomy with a gum graft in April 2024. But almost three weeks ago, my gum became inflamed again!!! Naturally, I didn't go back to the doctor who botched the surgery twice! Today, I had surgery with a different surgeon who removed the tooth. Both my Moscow doctors and this surgeon said that no one performs apicoectomy on the lower jaw! I wasted two thousands of dollars and, most importantly, my time. The recovery after apicoectomy is incredibly long and painful. Dr. Brockman is absolutely incompetent, and I do not recommend him. read more

After getting my root canal 10 years ago, I now have two infections and have to get the teeth extracted. I would not recommend this doctor to anyone anytime. The experience was bad as I had to go back to separate times to have him redo the root canals. I should've known, then that he was ill equipped. read more

The man knows what he's doing. Wham, bam, thank you ma'am and you're out and on with your day.

When this Dr. Lawrence A. Brockman performed a root canal for me, the doctor was frustrated that the work was not progressing well. Neither the tools he was using nor the treatment method seemed appropriate. As a result, a month later my gums swelled and my tooth felt uncomfortable. My main dentist told me that I might have to have the root canal redone or have it extracted. read more

Does NOT stand by his work AND he's a big fat LIER! You're a jerk on top of it. Keeps trying to say he doesn't remember & he works at someone else's practice now blah blah you're disgusting! Doesn't remember my sister???Doesnt remember buying my skis! Maybe it's time to retire with such an aweful "memory" huh? I'm just so happy I have a decent WONDERFUL HONEST doctor now! I'll never see anyone else but Dr Parsa again! He didn't even charge me for the consult & worked with my reg dentist Dr Benyamini to figure out a plan going forward. These old guys care about money & that's it! The young honest handsome ones smell a lot better too! read more

See all

Dr Brockman is kind, straightforward and skilled. His office staff are friendly and helpful. I expressed my anxiety to the nurse who responded to my concerns with helpfulness and understanding. His office is conveniently located in Beverly Hills with convenient parking. Need to get a root canal with no messing about? Dr Brockman is your man. I can't recommend him highly enough. read more

I wish their were more than 5 stars - Dr. Brockman and his terrific staff , got me in and out for a root canal during these trying Corona virus times. The doctor was clear , professional, and quick and purposeful. I can't thank the doctor and his staff enough. Office is clean. New equipment. And very pleasant for an unpleasant procedure. Also, to work during these times is incredible and his oath as a doctor is on full display. read more

I can't say enough good things about Dr. Brockman. My husband saw two different doctors and both were not able to alleviate my husbands SEVERE and unbearable tooth pain. They both seemed to be missing the issue until we were referred to Dr. Brockman who finally found the underlying issue of what was causing his pain. He's patient, understanding, and so very caring. After the treatment he sat down and explained to the both of us what had happened and how he was able to alleviate the pain. He made sure we called the night of to ensure he wasn't in any pain and he called in the afternoon to check up on us. Unbelievable amount of care. Never seen anything like it! He really cares. My husband is going back to have the root canal done, we definitely will not be going anywhere else! Thank you Dr. Brockman!! read more

This office has a very nice staff and they are always very accommodating. I was referred to Dr Brockman because of a tooth that was hurting me, but since the tooth had a root canal, I was referred to Dr Brockman. When I called for an appointment, They fit me in right away and he did some procedure to fix the tooth without too much pain. I've always been scared because of the past endodontist experiences I had but Dr Brockman was reassuring, had a good sense of humor and even called me the next day to see how I was doing. I would refer any of my friends to this office! read more

I've never written a review for a dentist because it has never occurred to me-until I met Dr. Brockman. It struck me how focused he was on the medicine and science of his dentistry which ultimately saved me $6000 in extravagant fees I would've paid to generally any other dentist for the same care. Short version: i'd had a root canal (from my regular dentist) which, after a year, hadn't properly healed and was told by a series of dentists that the tooth had to come out and that I would need an implant. Extraction means a 6 month hole (missing tooth) in your mouth before an implant can be inserted. Dr. Brockman, instead, performed a 30 min painless surgery to remove the infection while simultaneously saving my tooth. There was some expected pain the first night only and by morning no need for any pain pills. Just some stitches and now-a week later-there is no evidence in my mouth of any surgery, whatsoever. I don't suppose people routinely Yelp-review dentists but when there's a really good one (and you can save a serious boatload of money for expert care), it makes sense to take a couple of minutes and let your fellow Angelenos know about him! read more

I would never wish a root canal upon anyone, but if you need one, get it done at Dr. Brockman's office. He is a true healer in his specialty - in a sense that he cares genuinely about each patient's issues and health, as if it were his own. He's almost a perfectionist, so he'll never send you home unless he's satisfied with your treatment "perfectly." "It's gotta be perfect" is a fave phrase of his. He'll work on it over multiple days till you're no longer in pain and HE's satisfied. And he doesn't charge you per visit; he charges per procedure. If something goes wrong, he'll see you as soon as he can, even after the initial procedure. read more

Had a traumatic injury to my front tooth about 2 weeks ago, and had increasing pain since then. Called last Thursday and got in this past Monday. Had to do a root canal (which I've never had before - fortunately I think I take really good care of my teeth!). Dr. Brockman was very thorough, did excellent work, and I was immediately pain-free! I've had two dentists look at my work since then, and they have said his work was perfect. Hopefully I never need him again, but I know who to go to if I ever do!!! read more

Although Dr. Brockman is an excellent dentist, his office continues to submit payment for a date when this patient was NOT in his office. This patient was in his office April 2022 and made PAYMENT by credit card on 4/13/2022, but Dr. Brockman submitted a request for payment on 11/16/2022, when she was not in his office. She was preparing for a knee replacement. read more

I just completed a root canal with Dr Brockman. I would give him 10 stars if I could! It took 2 sessions that were entirely comfortable; I had no pain during the procedure or swelling after. Dr Brockman was very professional and did an impeccable job. He took the time to explain everything to me which reassured me as I was scared to go through a root canal procedure for the first time. I thank my dentist for referring me to Dr. Brockman as I could not have been in better expert hands. He made a fantastic impression on me and I highly recommend Dr Brockman and his friendly office staff. read more

Lawrence A. Brockman DMD - Endodontists Near Me - Santa Monica, California

Dr. Brockman is a gem. A root canal genius lol! This is the place to go if you need a root canal and are super sensitive and freaked out by dentistry. I was sent to his office because my general dentist was unable to get my tooth numb enough to perform the root canal. I thought I was going to have to remove the tooth. But Dr. Brockman assured me he would be able to numb the tooth and I wouldn't feel anything and that is EXACTLY what happened. By the time he told a few bad jokes, and drilled for what seemed like a few seconds, the entire procedure was done and I could return to my general dentist for a crown. Karen, the receptionist, was also very helpful with figuring out my insurance and giving me an estimate before I even arrived for my appointment. read more

I have to say he is an awesome endodontist!! He did great work on my girlfriend & he puts out 100% in taking care of her teeth!! Very caring & a heart of gold!! If I need a root canal I will definitely see him!! read more

I went to this guy because he was in my insurance plan. Big mistake! My root canal was particularly complicated, but instead of telling me that he did not have the proper equipment to effectively treat the tooth, he did a botched job leaving infection still in the tooth. He told me the tooth would be fine, that the calcified roots he could not access would not be a problem. 6 months later treatment is finally complete through another endo, but not before I went through excrutiating pain and $2,000 out-of-pocket. And when I notified Brockman of my nightmare, he refused to refund to me and my insurance company over $1,000 of monies paid to him. While he seems nice, he gets away with not having current equipment because most root canals are no big deal and may not require it. As a professional making the choice not to invest in current equipment in his field, he should then refer his clients elsewhere when he is presented with a case he can not adequately treat. STAY AWAY FROM THIS ONE!!! read more

This is my second time coming to Dr. Brockman. The forst time my experience didnt feel welcoming. The receptionist wasnt warm & welcoming which is important in a dental office... I got a root canal which became infected down the line (not blaming Dr. B for that cuz it happens). 4 yrs later same receptionist with the same unwelcoming personality. But Dr. Brockham & his assistant made up for her personality by being extremely delightful & attentive. (We all have bad days & some ppls personalities are dry & i think that's the case with the lady at the front desk). I got some kinda surgical root canal to scrape out the infection. There was no pain & the docs works fast which is good. Im glad I gave this doctor's office a second try cuz i usually dont after experiencing rude/ unwelcoming service. read more

My sugar loving ways finally caught up with me, and I had to get a dreaded root canal on one of my molars. I was terrified, not just for the process but for the hole that was going to burn in my pockets for the costs. Dr. Brockman and his staff are very kind. He walked me through the entire process, and left me with no questions unanswered. I paid a total of 3 visits to his office. 1st for the consult, 2nd for the first half of my root canal, and 3rd to finish up the work. The only gripe that I have is that it's an office full of loud-talkers - I was at the furthest dental chair from the reception area (it's not a huge office) and I could hear every word that they were saying. It was almost as if they were yelling at each other. It was actually a little bit amusing, but I can find the humor in anything. Dr. Brockman's office is located on the 3rd floor in a nice Bev Hills office building, just a half block away from Kate Mantalini's on Wilshire. There is plenty of 1 and 2 hour parking on the adjacent side streets. Overall, I'm satisfied with the results, and am left with no more tooth pain. Brush and floss people, brush and floss. read more

Last summer, due to my procrastinating a needed filling on a way in the back molar, I suffered days of horrible jaw pain before I could see my regular dentist. He then referred me to Dr. Brockman's office. Fortunately, Dr. Brockman was able to see me the next day. I can't tell you what a difference that day made. Such a relief to walk out of that office without pain. Of course, the initial relief was just the numbing, but the pain never returned. Even though my bite wasn't quite right after the first visit, when I came back the next week, he tweaked the tooth a little bit and I haven't had a problem with it since. So yeah, he did his job. One would expect that any competent professional would leave his patients pain-free. But, Dr. Brockman's personable manner and efficient office made the whole process so much easier. It's natural that a lot of anxiety would accompany the anticipation of a root canal but once I was in his office, my anxiety level came down several notches. It was actually a pleasure being there. Once the work started, it was done quickly and I was on my way. Appointments were easily made, insurance handled seamlessly, parking was no problem (and not too expensive) and it was a pleasure chatting with Dr. B, waiting for the anesthesia to hit. I hope I never need another root canal, but if I do, I won't hesitate to see Dr. Brockman again. read more

I came to Dr. Brockman for a second opinion on a tooth that I was told needed a root canal by my general dentist. Part of a filling had fallen out of my tooth and the original filling was so close to the nerve bed, that most dentists would have probably proceeded with a root canal. However, I had no pain or sensitivity....just a broken filling. I did not want to have to get a root canal unless it was absolutely necessary (i.e. I'm in terrible pain and know for a fact that is what I need). I found Dr. Brockman in my insurance network and decided to see him based on previous Yelp reviews. Dr. Brockman is a FIVE STAR endodontist!! He took the time to evaluate my x-ray and propose an alternative to have the filling repaired. He explained the risks in repairing a filling that deep and that I would need someone who could do it very carefully without heating (and therefore damaging) the nerve. You know he is an endodontist you can trust when he sends someone (me) out of the office without a root canal! Dr. Brockman saved me $1000 in co-pays and more importantly, saved my tooth and a lot of pain and suffering!! I asked him to recommend a dentist that he would go to if he were in my situation. The person he recommended did an exquisite job and I am very pleased with the results!! Dr. Brockman is someone you can trust for an honest opinion. I came to him having been told I needed a root canal, and I left his office being told I don't. Thank you Dr. Brockman!! read more

Since a child I have always, had an obsessive fear of dentists and dental procedures.. Dr Larry Brockman has not only corrected my dental issue but has also made me feel very comfortable the moment I walked in to his office. Additionally his friendly and reassuring staff , receptionist and dental assistant were very friendly and calming. Add to this his work was painless, successful and thorough. Thank you Doctor. read more

I have the worst teeth and with multiple root canals I wouldn't let anyone perform surgery on me other than Dr. Brockman. If a dental experience could be good it is better with Dr Brockman. He has a soft touch and good chair side manner. I highly recommend Dr. Brockman read more

When my own dentist, who is an endodontist, told me that he would not attempt the root canal I needed due to the difficulty if it, I was worried. He referred me to Dr. Brockman and although I was very nervous, I felt better when I noticed his Harvard Dental School degree. He was kind, patient and the procedure was almost painless. Due to his expertise, I had no pain afterwards and better yet, he accepted my dental insurance with a small copay. read more

I had a bad toothache and went to a dentist to have it checked out. They couldn't do anything and suggested that I see a specialist. My sister had the same issue as me in the past and referred me to Dr. Brockman. I was in excoriating pain for 7 days to the point where I was unable to sleep at night. I wanted to pull my tooth out to end all the pain. So glad that Dr. Brockman and his staff were able to work me in for a same day appointment. I'm pretty sure I would have ended up in the emergency if I had to deal with the pain for one more day. Dr. Brockman was thorough and explain what was causing my pain. He even performed surgery the same day. I was in such relief after the surgery because Dr. Brockman saved my tooth. I would definitely recommend Dr. Brockman to my friends and family. read more

I had to get an emergency root canal and dr. Brock man took me in the same day. I was kind of nervous since I've never been there before, however when I found out that dr. Brock man has been specializing in root Canals for decades it put me at ease. He was extremely professional and new exactly how to relieve my pain and work on my tooth to kill the infection. I have no more Pain!! Him and his staff are very friendly and make you feel comfortable from the time you walk in to the time you leave. I would recommend dr. Brockman to my family and friends. read more

I've always been nervous about dental work-but I just had my third root canal in 5 years with Dr. Brockman and I would never go to anyone else! He's so gentle and concerned about making sure you're not in pain, even called me a day later to be sure everything was okay. He's the nicest guy also and I feel lucky to have been referred to him. read more

Dr. Brockman is a brilliant dentist. Three times now he has helped me in an emergency situation. I was in agonizing pain when I walked in his office with an infected molar. He began part one of a three part root canal process and I was pain free that night. On the third and last procedure he took the time to make sure everything was perfect. I feel extremely fortunate to have such a great dentist on my side! Thank you so much Dr. Brockman and staff!!! read more

I have gone to Dr Lawrence Brockman a number of times for root canals, in preparation for dental crowns, and each time I have been completely relaxed and at ease during the procedures. Most people do not always associate root canal work as a pleasant experience ; however I must say I was totally pain free throughout the entire process , even with minimal numbing . I'm one that can be termed "faint of heart," yet this dental professional completely dissolves all fears and anxieties I may have, the moment I am seated in the comfortable dental chair . I highly recommend this competent, caring dental specialist. read more

Dr. Brockman is amazing! Gentle, caring and everything you would look for in an endodontist. My regular dentist referred me to him because she had put a crown on a tooth that was borderline and eventually needed a root canal. This required three visits to Dr. Brockman, as he wanted to make sure that I had no pain before he finally finished. He is very professional and has an excellent staff - I would recommend him very highly! read more

I tried to save one of my molars with a root canal that didn't take. Instead I was left with a cracked tooth and the looming reality of an extraction with no available appointments with my current dentist until weeks later. Unable to eat or even close my jaw without pain, I asked several people i knew what they would suggest. One of my colleagues urged that I go to Dr. Lawrence Brockman of the Beverly Hills Endodontist Group. Dr. Brockman had me in his chair the next morning. He was very sympathetic and professional taking an X-ray before removing the tooth, giving me a pain killer then taking out the tooth very quickly and efficiently. He then took an X ray immediately thereafter to make sure he had not left any part of the root behind. There can be many complications from a molar extraction. Ten days afterwards, I seem to be in the clear. Dr. Brockman offers a range services to save teeth, so it's ironic that i'm recommending him for his extraction skills. read more

STAY AWAY Horrible PAIN and unnecessary repeated visits for a tooth I had no pain with and was told I needed a root canal . When Dr Brockman worked on my tooth and it was extremely painful because he is very rough and impatient. Dr. Brockman after repeated visits to this office finally finished. I had another doctor look at this tooth to find I had a serious infection and problem in my sinus from bad root canal . The tooth had to be extracted immediately. Now I have a large area that was eaten away from that abcess leaving a hole in my gum area...created from bad work done by this office. STAY AWAY. I do not know how he has survived in this area or business. read more

CAN WE TALK? I can't stop smiling about the most wonderful "ROOT CANAL", yes "ROOT CANAL" treatment I have ever received. I had this one tooth that had been giving me the absolute worst pain for many years. I had seen two different dentists who assured me that they could get to the "ROOT" of my tooth and fix it. Unfortunately, the pain and discomfort would return and their work left me feeling as if I may as well get this tooth pulled and rid myself of this eternal pain. A friend referred me to Dr. Brockman because as she said, "Honey, the third times a charm, and why resort to having your tooth extracted". Well let me tell you, my visit with Dr. Brockman was gentle, informative, and satisfying. Dr. Brockman's concern for my well-being gave me the confidence to climb in that chair and allow him to do what he does best. The treatment took 30 minutes, and the healing time was just a few days. I highly recommend Dr. Brockman, because he is a professional and honest endodontists who cares for your care. Thanks to Dr. Brockman and his staff, I have my big beautiful smile back. read more

My visit with Dr. Brockman was a breeze and I was dreading it. Obviously nobody likes getting a root canal! Dr. Brockman was fast, painless, efficient and a super cool guy to boot. His staff is super nice and efficient. The facility was clean and modern. I am hoping not to need more root canals, but this is where I will definitely go if I should! Thanks Dr. Brockman!!!' read more

I too wish there were more stars to give to Dr. Brockman. He is hands down the best doctor ever. He is highly skilled and extremely nice and understanding. My brother, my mom, and I all have been treated by him and are so impressed and grateful to him. I super highly recommend Dr. Brockman. read more

Dr. Brockman has the magic touch. What I thought was going to be an infernal episode of care (not because of the physician, but because of the procedure), turned out to be way less unpleasant. Dr. Brockman is engaging and he and his assistant Susan made me feel 100% comfortable. He is gentle and caring and overall a really nice guy. Thanks Dr. Brockman!! See you in 6 months for my checkup. read more

For those who've had a good experience, please go light a candle or thank your lucky star(s). Up until today I'm nursing pain in a tooth that he did a "root canal" on. As a specialist, he's supposed to get the job done correctly the first time. He did 2 root canals on me and my tooth was infected 3 times thus far. Just because these doctors and dentists preoccupy offices in Beverly Hills doesn't mean they're efficient in their line of work. Thanks to Mr. Brockman, I've paid over $1500 out of pocket and I'm set to go in for another treatment. What's sad is that the doctor who referred me to him was another Mickey Mouse dentist. Stay away from dentists in the vicinity of Beverly Hills. read more

Dr. Brokman did a botch job on my root canal. To this day I have pain and it feels infected again...it was initially infected and he tore hd my right gumline out trying to clear it. Aweful- ruined my teeth. Do not go. read more
