My husband and I have been patients of Dr. Shindler's since 2003...22 years! I've had a couple of crowns, fillings and recently, he finished my implant, which came out amazingly. Always focused, caring and as gentle as possible. Our 18-year-old son has been coming to Dr. Shindler for a year or so. He's a soccer playing and got hit in the jaw, chipping a back tooth. Dr. Shindler took him in quickly and fixed the tooth. More recently, our son is in college in England, got hit again and had some tooth concern. I called Dr. Shindler to get his advice regarding going to NHS to have them see what was going on. Dr. Shindler was fast-responding to my call and offered his consult once NHS saw my son. The pain ended up going away on its own, but I was very impressed with the caring and lengths the doctor would go to for his patient. Highly recommended!! read more

Dr.Shindler has helped me transform my smile! I've been going to him for over 20 years and I have always felt so comfortable there. He has just re-done my 8 front teeth and they look fabulous! I always get compliments on my smile! The office staff is also warm and inviting. I couldn't recommend Dr.Shindler more! The best dentist around! read more

Dr. Shindler and his team are absolutely fantastic! I've never experienced such thorough dental care before. During my first visit, Dr. Shindler took the time to examine each tooth, my glands, airways, and even checked for grinding. He was incredibly patient, listened to all my concerns, and answered every question I had. Throughout the entire process, he made sure I was comfortable and always asked if I had any questions. The staff is extremely knowledgeable and provided so much insight into dental hygiene, explaining the reasons behind their practices and why they matter. I really appreciated that the hygienist didn't shame me for not flossing as regularly as I should; instead, she offered helpful tips to encourage me to incorporate it into my daily routine. Everyone in the office is so friendly and welcoming! I was initially worried about seeing a new dentist due to the common fear of being upsold or misled about my oral health, but that was definitely not the case here. They are all very transparent and honest about the work they do. I can't recommend them enough! If you're looking for a new dentist, this is the one!! read more

If there was a way to give 5 additional stars, I would! We found a gem this last weekend. Looking for emergency care for an infected tooth, on a Saturday morning via a Yelp search, I wasn't too optimistic...until we found Dr. Shindler. We called and the staff member listened to our situation and the circumstances surrounding it. We had an appointment within an hour of the initial phone call and were on our way, scared of the potential costs of this emergency visit. Arrived at the office, handled the initial paperwork, they took my friend away to deal with her pain, while I finished the balance of the paperwork. My friend did not have dental insurance, but she was greeted and cared for as if she had been a patient for the last 10 years. While she was in the chair, I was offered the option to purchase dental insurance for the services provided, instead of personally being charged the full amount. The care she was given was 1st class all the way. Dr Shindler handled everything with patience and compassion. He listened attentively while being told of the events leading to the Saturday AM visit, asked questions and clarified details as needed. Procedure went on without a hitch, 45 minutes later we were on our way to get some needed medication and antibiotics. I didn't get the names of Dr Shindler's staff, but I was impressed with their attitude and care during our visit and with the final consultation. They truly were the best and were equally as impressive as Dr. Shindler. I would not hesitate to recommend Dr. Shindler to anyone! read more

Dr Shindler is amazing! He knows his stuff and is very gentle On my Teeth. My husband and I go there, and my kids went too before they grew up and moved away. He is there for emergencies and I truly Believe he can do anything! Thank you Dr Shindler for your time And expertise. read more

I recommend Dr Shindler, DDS, to anyone considering using the new Bioclear process for new fillings or redoing old fillings. Dr. Shindler replaced my old deteriorating fillings with the new Bioclear process; the results look natural. The whole staff is super friendly and takes the time to explain everything they do before and during the process. I used to get really anxious about going to the dentist, but the dentist and his outstanding dental assistants always made me feel calm and comfortable. While stuck in the chair, they play modern(upbeat) music instead of forcing you to listen to endless repetitive "elevator" music. Their office is clean and modern, with an incredible hillside view - I've even seen coyotes and rabbits while having my teeth cleaned during a prior visit. Moreover, his front desk assistant always works with my insurance billing to ensure I am not overpaying for out-of-pocket expenses. I would highly recommend giving them a try. #bioclear, #greatservice, #happypatient, #bestdentist, agouradentist read more

Please look at the 1 Star reviews before you look at the 5 Stars, I called this place and spoke to Beverly (the wife) re. my dental issues to try to set up an appointment to see Dr. Shindler. The first thing she mentioned was the Bio-Clear procedure (trying to upsell) since this would not be the procedure I require and she knew it. I had a previous experience at a new dentist office who was using non- sterilized dental instruments whom I of course did not allow to examine me. I shared this experience with Beverly over the phone and it made her feel uncomfortable to the point of saying she did not think I was a good fit for their office. Well, that tells me very simply that they most likely do the same: NOT PROPERLY STERILIZE THEIR DENTAL INSTRUMENTS. Pay attention, people! I had also emailed an Endodontist report 2 days prior to the visit which they never even bothered to look at until I called on the same day of appointment to find out if they had received it. All I got were constant texts for 3 days to find out if I would be there for my appointment. $$$$ SEEMS IT"S ALL THEY CARE ABOUT read more

Hello! You've no need to continue searching the Yelp reviews of multiple dentists to find the perfect one for yourself and/or your precious family members. You've now found the ABSOLUTE best that LA and the surrounding area has to offer. Philip Shindler, DDS. This man and his entire team are hands down the best of the best. I have lived in multiple places throughout my life. From the east coast to down south and a few different states out here on the west coast. I have visited a plethora of dentists and physicians. But I'm here to leave my personal Yelp review about an AMAZING office led by Dr. Shindler. I don't do this kind of thing (leaving reviews) even though I should. Let's be honest...most of you are probably just like me where you check Yelp out to read the reviews hoping to find the perfect dentist and/or physician for yourself and leave it at that. Whelp...I'm jumping into the ring to offer my 2 cents about this specific team. I started visiting this office back in 2015 when I moved to CA but not before trying out a couple other dentists first. My Lord!!!!! Compared to Dr. Shindler and his staff those other dentists should seriously consider another field. Upon entry into the office you will find nothing short of an extremely warm, welcoming and comfortable atmosphere where absolutely every team member greets you by name. Even if you haven't been seen for a really long time. Yes. Of course your name is on the file but their tone is so genuine and personable. You feel like you've just been reunited with some long lost relatives. Each team member provides you with nothing less than 150% of themselves. I have always thought the word "professional" was synonymous with stuffy, rigid, impersonal, etc., but these people are professional in only good ways. To me, they've given new words to describe "professional". Personable. Genuine. Concerned. Empathetic (when needed). Funny. Welcoming. Gentle. Present. So, really, if you are like me and do not like being treated as "next" then this office and Dr. Shindler is the place you want to make your next dental appointment. I drive an hour each way to their office (sometimes longer because this is LA after all), but I will NEVER have another dentist in my Contacts list. read more

Very up-to-date on new technologies. Friendly Doctor and team! Listens and acknowledges patient concerns. read more

I had the same dentist for 27 years. I needed a change. I found Dr. Philip Shindler, although it's a further drive. I had two cleanings and loved them both, but I was somewhat SKEPTICAL about committing to a new dentist. Well, a crown that I had cracked over the weekend. I needed help! I called and set up the next appointment. I now have a temporary as a new strong crown is being made. I made the right decision. Bonus, I got a discount as this crown was only 2 years old by my past dentist. What a friendly group!!! read more

I have never been comfortable at the dentist but Dr. Schindler, with his experience and professionalism made me very comfortable in the chair. The office is clean, the staff is warm and friendly, and most importantly the dentistry is wonderful! read more

I had a tooth that cracked and Dr. Schindler got me into his office immediately and did a wonderful job making me a new crown. I highly recommend him and his very personable office staff. read more

I went to see Dr. Shindler today and from the minute I walked in I felt welcomed. His staff are very kind and friendly. Dr. Shindler was so patient and knowledgable. He explained the procedure and why he thought it would be helpful. He is super friendly and took time to hear about my previous dental experiences and even look at pictures of my dogs. He himself is a true dog lover which made me feel even more comfortable. I can fully understand why people so many miles to be part of this dental practice. read more

Best dentist by far! We met Dr. Shindler the day before my wedding when I began to experience severe in my tooth and were not from the area. Him and his wife Beverly went out of their way on a Saturday afternoon to open their office up for me. I had to have the tooth extracted due to a failed root canal performed by a different dentist. Dr.Shindler was so kind to spend his afternoon removing the tooth and checking on me regarding pain. They were so kind to me and my husband we ended up inviting them to our wedding. They are forever like family to us and only dentist we trust regardless of the distance. read more

I am very impressed with the professionalism and warmth of Dr Shindler and his staff. I recently had a whitening procedure which was painless and looks great! I will have a crown replaced in the near future. I am new to the office but I will be a client for a long time! Donn W read more

Let me recommend Dr. Shindler as a fellow colleague and dentist with the highest respect. I met Dr. Shindler at a continuing education course focused on the bioclear restoration technique that preserves tooth structure and enamel. when my teeth needed restoration it was definitely the top thing that i wanted for myself. Dr Shindlers office was so pristine and clean with high tech equipment all around. I had a pleasant great experience with would definitely trust him with my teeth again! read more

I was out of town for a long vacation and fractured a front tooth. Dr. Shindler had me in to the office after hours to diagnose the issue. He called a great oral surgeon and helped me to set up an appointment for the next day for a restorative implant. After the implant surgery, he came in to the office while it was closed and fitted a temporary crown. Dr. Shindler explained how to care for my mouth until the permanent crown can be fitted. 5 Stars! read more

I'm in Thousand Oaks for my son's wedding. I lost a crown last night. Yikes! All the photos, snd my ex will be there. I yelped and found Dr. Shindler. Nicolette called me right back, got me in this afternoon even though Dr. Shindler is very busy, and now my smile has no gaps! He is gentle and attentive and he and Nicolette made me feel like my smile mattered as much to them as it does to me. The experience was so good, I'm thinking of coming here every six months--all the way from Texas. I couldn't be more grateful and happy. read more

My entire family has been seeing Dr. Shindler for 25+ years. The entire office is fantastic! Also, a great location. Although I have been lucky with no dental problems until recently, I had a broken tooth. Dr Shindler fixed me up with Bioclear and I cannot be happier. My tooth feels and looks like nothing has ever happened. Even in an Xray, my tooth looks perfect. I highly recommend Bioclear and Dr. Shindler as a top-notch dentist!!! read more

I've been coming to Dr. Philip Shindler for 7 years already and I completely trust this place Inam sure that this one of the best place in Los Angeles and region !! His staff are amazing !!! read more

I was visiting Friends and family here in Southern California when I had an accident and fell. I broke my two front teeth in addition to other injuries. I was referred to Dr Shindler and he was the most responsive, caring and reassuring dentist! He came into the office from home in the evening to see me! He was able to schedule me quickly for the restorative treatment in the same week. What a miracle! My new teeth are amazing!! I can't thank him enough! I am so happy and highly recommend Dr. Shindler for all dental treatments. In addition he has wonderful caring office staff. read more

Dr. Shindler is a great dentist and has done a phenomenal job on many fillings and restorations for me over the last few months. After a long period of neglect, I had lots of work I needed to get done, and he was very accommodating. He convinced me on the longevity and savings of using bioclear. It took less office visits and will last longer while also looking great. He's one of very few dentists that has adopted this awesome new technology. His office also tried their best to get my insurance to contribute as much as possible to the cost. The hygienist and assistant are also very friendly and made sure I was comfortable. read more

I met Doctor Shindler about 12 years ago, he has performed some dental work on me, he was great, extremely gentle, you don't feel anything, the man is a perfectionist, 0 pain. I was stupid by thinking he was expensive so I went to this cheap butcher who remove one tooth and damaged two others, to a point when every time I ate or drank I was in severe pain, so I have decided to go and have these two teeth remove and have two implants performed on me, by Dr Hale, who asked me who is your dentist I said Dr shindler, so they have naturally had to communicate, and exchange information how to go about my new crowns, about 6 months later I was ready for my crowns I have went to Dr shindler and again he was magic, he took measurements and created two beautiful crowns, that look and feel better than real teeth. The moral of the story is that cheap always end up being expensive, so don't be cheap and go to the best Dentist in the world. Dr SHINDLER IS DR FEEL GOOD... Daniel Attias 6.16.21 read more

I was recently introduced to Dr. Shindler by way of referral. I wholly endorse Dr. Shindler and his staff to anyone in search of a great dentist. Beverly (who runs the office) is amazing...classy and conversational...she's truly a pleasure to work with. His hygienists are top notch and VERY thorough....they really took their time - total perfectionists. Dr. Shindler himself is masterful. Let's be honest...nobody likes going to the dentist...at least I never did. My recent experience here has completely changed my mind...so much so that I've already scheduled my next cleaning! read more

I wish I could give him and his staff no star! He ruined my root canal and the crown he made for me was so awful I had to redo it and so at the end I had to suffer so much and waist time and money.... stay away from this doctors doubt his staff. read more

I was nervous to switch from my dentist in Vegas but Dr. Shinlder and his team made me feel very comfortable. They were all very nice and understanding of my worries and reassured me everything was going to be great! I got my teeth cleaned and the gal who did it was very sweet and gentle! I would recommend them to everyone! read more

It is so hard to find a good dentist that I wasn't afraid to go and visit. After my dentist retired that I had been seeing my entire life, it took me a couple of years to find Dr. Shindler, so of course I was terrified. His staff took all my worries away. Each visit they took such good care of me. They actually listened to when something was uncomfortable for me and would adjust. Not only that but Beverly would always do her best to get my insurance to cover as much of my visit as possible. The only reason I stopped going is because I moved across the country, or else I would completely go out of my way to see them. I appreciate the dedication that Dr. Shindler and his team has, and I would be so lucky to find another dentist like this. Also the view is great while you're sitting in your chair, looking out at the mountains. read more

I'm a recent patient of Dr Shindler. I was somewhat insecure starting with a new dentist after 20 years. Dr Carlton who did my implant highly recommended him and Dr Carlton is one of the best implant Dr's in the country Dr. Shindler is kind and thoroughly explains everything. I'm very pleased with my implant crown and three tooth bridge. He is passionate about his work and highly skilled . I'll add that his injections are painless!! His office staff is efficient and cheerful. He is thorough about necessary aftercare and ongoing necessary treatment. I highly recommend Dr. Shindler and I'm positive you will be pleased Barry Mendelson Malibu Ca read more

I highly recommend Dr. Shindler. I have been his patient since the crown on one of my front teeth fell off 6 years ago on a holiday weekend. He took care of my emergency even though his office was closed. I found Dr. Shindler to be very professional and his work was top quality. When another one of my old crowns fell off last week I couldn't believe it. I immediately called Dr. Shindler, again it was a weekend, but he met me at his office and once again took care of my emergency. I am grateful to have found such a wonderful, friendly and caring dental office. I have been recommending Dr. Shindler to all of my friends and family. read more

So, my husband has been going to this office for a long time. I started going to Dr. Schindler about 4 years ago. I have a long history of bad teeth, lots of fillings and tons of old work and work needed. When I went to see him there was no big push to sell me more services or work, like other offices have done to me. I did not get a long expensive list of procedures. Instead I got someone who looked at my teeth and had an honest conversation about what needed to be done, not too much, and what I might want to consider in the future. Over the course of the years Dr. Schindler has worked on my problems and not only showed incredible patience with my super sensitive teeth but also a creative solution for otherwise hard to fix problems. He is always meeting with outside experts and trying to find the help you need to get your mouth healthy. He is thorough, trustworthy and cost effective. I would refer anyone to him. The office staff is lovely as well. Nicolette always goes out of her way to share a story, make me laugh and they are all so empathetic. It's nice to see because so many other dentists in my past pushed you through and tried to make money. read more

Dr. Shindler has been my dentist for over 10 years. He does great work, and his staff is great as well. There have been many occasions where I have needed emergency dental services (once for me, the other times for visiting relatives who happened to have a filling fallout or a denture break), and Dr. Shindler was so accommodating. He's come in on weekends to help me and family members who are not his patients. He's also very responsive in emergency situations. Would highly recommend his practice. read more

I recommend Dr. Shindler and his staff to anyone needing excellent dental care. I have had a lot of trauma to my teeth because of a childhood accident and as a result, my teeth are very sensitive. I have tried to find a dentist who understands this and treats me accordingly. Dr. Shindler, and his team have always been very accommodating to my situation and Dr. Shindler takes his time to give anesthetics in several progressive steps in order to minimize discomfort. I also appreciate his office Manager Beverly who always helps me to schedule my treatments around my busy schedule. This is my first YELP review, and I chose Dr. Shindler and his team because I truly believe this Dental practice is the best. read more

A Sunday emergency! Incredible response from a terrific person & Dentist. My Wife chipped her front tooth and looked like letterman but Dr. Shindler met us on a Sunday Evening and made the repair and matched the color perfectly read more

I've been going to Dr. Shindler since 1995 and for a very good reason. He is simply the best. His work is top notch, and he always follows up to make sure I'm all right after any procedure. Whenever I've had an emergency, he's taken care of me right away. On top of that, his staff is friendly, courteous, and professional. His hygienist, Daisy, is also the best hygienist I've ever had as well. They keep me smiling. I trust Dr. Shindler and highly recommend him. In short, I wouldn't go to anyone else. read more

I would not go anywhere else. All aspects from setting an appointment to services rendered are top notch!

Dr Schindler and Nicollete were amazing. I needed to do a crown, they could do it the same day ,in the office, no need to wait 2 weeks with a temporary crown . The results were great and the treatment was pain free. I totally recommend them. read more

A few years ago I knocked out my front teeth playing hockey and Dr. Shindler got me an appointment immediately. He made some implants, attached them to what was left of my teeth, and I was out the door in just a few hours! I have been seeing him for my routine cleanings ever since. read more
