Dr. David Firestone is an amazing dentist. He is such a rare and unique combination of storyteller and expert craftsmanship. I have been to his office for the past 30 years and he is such an inspiration of how good dentistry can be with the right person. He has great photography skills, and a gentle touch. I would recommend all my friends and family to see Dr. David Firestone. Wish more dentists were more like him, then no one would be scared to go to the dentist. Happy Yelping! read more

Dr Firestone offers excellent personal care. He is extremely experienced and knowledgeable.

Just got off the phone with yet another incompetent employee of Dr. Firestone's. I'll try and be brief with my review since my issue with this office spans an entire YEAR. I originally came to Dr. Firestone on August 7th, 2013. The main reason I chose his office was because he accepted the type of dental insurance that was provided by the company I worked for. The appointment went fine as it was just a routine cleaning. Dr. Firestone was nice enough, poked around my mouth a bit and cracked a few jokes. I finished my appt. with a set of x-rays and a "reminder postcard" that they would mail me once it was time for my next cleaning. Then the billing issues began. The company I worked for shut its doors only a few weeks later, subsequently canceling any further coverage from that point on. "Fine," I thought, since I was still covered at the time of the actual appt. "There should be no problem, right?" WRONG. Once October hit, I started receiving bills/invoices that totaled ridiculous amounts for procedures that had NEVER been performed on me. Additionally, there was a charge for another appointment on Halloween - again, must have been an impostor, because I was only there the one time in August. And when I tried contacting the "billing dept." (which I'm pretty sure consists of one person) it was nearly impossible to reach anyone because "billing is only here on Wednesdays and Fridays." And even then, they might not show up...how do I know? Because I've only been calling on those days, in hopes that I might actually talk to a human being. I won't bore you with the details, but after an entire YEAR of calling Dr. Firestone's office to be met with empty apologies and no solutions, then calling my dental insurance to correct the problems that the staff at Dr. Firestone's office had created, and STILL receiving an invoice dated for TODAY - September 9, 2014 - for yet a completely DIFFERENT payment amount and a big bright orange "FINAL NOTICE: pay now or you'll will be sent to collections" sticker, I have finally had enough. This is absolutely absurd and borderline harassment that no "insured member" should ever have to go through. So, this is a warning to all who consider going to get your dental work done here. While the Doc, himself, may be pleasant, you might be left with a yearlong headache following your procedure, thanks to the ladies (or lady) in billing. Look at me, I'm still waiting to get my issue(s) resolved. read more

Dr firestone is awesome and very funny was nice meeting him in Nashville ten, he let me take a picture with his camera it was of a old man dr david said hurry up take his picture before he falls asleep i lost it that was so funny your friend pauline. read more

David Firestone has been my dentist for over 20 years.I moved ...came back to L.A. ....and back I am his patient! He's so knowledgable ...his artistic eye is great( for cosmetic work.).. He is a sensitive funny person(a plus for a dentist) and ......he just does wonderful dental work.... and is charming. I'd travel far for his great service. read more

I first met Dr. Firestone when I had a filling fall out from a previous dentist. I was going on a ski trip that weekend and I needed to find a dentist immediately. However, this was a weekend and most dentist offices aren't open. Saturday or not, I had to try and find one! So, I opened up the Yellow Pages, (yes, the Yellow Pages) I called every dentist in the book-and every office was closed or would not see me. I keep trying and finally reached Dr. Firestone's office and pleaded my case like the last 20 calls. The front desk said "the doctor was on his way out and they were closed." I lowered my head in defeat, as I put down the phone, I heard the lady on the other end of the phone say.. "You know what? he just overheard us and said, "he loves skiing" so come on in and he will wait for you. Dr. Firestone is not only a dentist but a creative, charming and passionate person. You will notice this when you first come to his office. He has created a wonderful environment of artistic expression. The office has water falls and art sculptures throughout the property. When you enter his office, which by the way is not your typical high rise, but a independent building that's more like a house. As you enter the office, you will notice his amazing photography displayed on the walls. HIs pictures allow us just a glimpse behind Dr. Firestones creative eye. His personal photography showcase's everything from flowers to his tour of duty in Vietnam. Dr. Firestone's experience in the dental field is well known throughout the medical community. Others call him "The Magician" because the magic he can do with difficult teeth. Trust me, I've had first-hand experience with his magic touch. Its not an illusion. He has done wonders making my teeth healthy. Dr. Firestone goes above and beyond the normal type of dentist. I needed gum surgery, he showed up and worked with the oral surgeon. He sat with me during the entire surgery. With over 50 years being a dentist he has been around the block. He has been a soldier and a dentist during the Vietnam war. He has not only worked on American soldiers during war time, but healing the local Vietnamese villagers and their children. His professional ability is only surpassed by his humanity. Dr. Firestone's ability crosses international borders and back to the the San Fernando Valley. He will never recommend unnecessary dental procedures or make you feel bad for not flossing enough. When you first meet him... you'll probably call him Dr. Firestone, but soon enough, you'll be like everybody else - and just call him - your friend. Give David (Dr. Firestone) a call and let the magic begin! read more

Dr. Firestone is the best dentist I've ever had. Period. 15 years ago I cracked my front tooth and couldn't even recognize myself. He fixed it like only the best artist can. Now 15 years later, it STILL looks absolutely perfect, and I am eternally grateful. Then, 2 years ago, my family and I moved away, and regrettably because of distance, saw a different dentist, who proceeded to ruin my mouth by removing my old silver fillings and replacing them with clear ones. It made chewing on any kind of food absolutely impossible on the left side of my mouth, and worse, this other dentist had NO idea how to fix me. So, I called Dr. Firestone in a panic, and he said to come right in. Amazingly, he knew exactly what to do, and now I can chew normally again. As if saving my mouth, TWICE, wasn't enough, he happens to be truly kind, funny, and sensitive. There aren't enough words to express how grateful I am to Dr. Firestone. read more

Doctor Firestone is the best! I wanted to cry after finding his office. Finally a great dentist. Why should you listen to me? Learn from my mistakes: I have been through the 1) Beverly Hills dentist who gave me terrible advice and charged me three times what the going rate was, sending my credit into a downward spiral. 2) The dentist who did a good job but had a crap personality giving me hives every time I left. 3) The dentist who kept me waiting for eons EVERY SINGLE TIME and then sprayed my face with shards of my own teeth while sloppily and brutally drilling the poor things. 4) The dentist who overbooked but drilled on me anyhow and had me lying on the table waiting for him to return for over an hour while I lay there nearly choking on my own blood. 5) The dentist who filled a tooth without getting rid of all the cavity causing the cavity to grow, expand and become a super entity. 6) The dentist who made me a mouth guard that did nothing but cost plenty and made me want to throw up every time I took it out in the morning. I have been ill-advised and robbed and have been gullible and trusting. And now, I'm a bitch on wheels. I'm pissed off and have developed a hatred of dentists through the years. Sorta like mechanics. Imagine my surprise when my bitch factor had to be chucked by the door after meeting Dr. Firestone. Finally after more dentists than I can count, I have found my dentist. First off, he's incredibly gentle, takes his time, does great work and makes sure you are okay. When is the last time a dentist stopped after five minutes of drilling to let your jaw rest? A first for me with Dr. Firestone! I had a tooth prepared for a crown and for the first time ever my jaw doesn't hurt after the work. He also does all the little touches like putting chapstick on your lips before he works so you don't dry out, and giving you a movie to watch so your mind is occupied and not freaking out about the drilling. He also tells you to breathe through the initial novocaine shot which no dentist has ever told me before... and wow, what a difference, it barely hurt! Not only that, he has a great sense of humor, the office is gorgeous, everyone is so nice and he works with you so you can afford treatment. Lastly, he isn't enamored with himself - in that he's not going to give you a two thousand dollar porcelain composite on a tooth that needs a crown just because it's pretty and a challenge to make look nice. Yes this happened to me TWICE by two different dentists who had such egos that they didn't even advise a crown, which was what it needed, but put in a pretty porcelain inlay which promptly broke down TWICE. I thought it was me when it should've been a crown put on the tooth! I wouldn't have had to have the tooth redone three times if I'd seen Dr. Firestone to begin with. Dr. Firestone believes in doing something ONCE not three times. Dr. Firestone in a nutshell - no monkeying around bleeding you of money, get the job done once, get it done RIGHT. Wow, nice concept! read more

I had an emergency and Dr Firestone took me right away. He was recommmended by my dentist and he was great. Nice receptionist too and 2 adorable doggies. read more

It's been a couple of years since I reviewed this office, but an emergency yesterday has prompted an update. I was eating an orange, of all things, when I chomped down and hit something hard.....obviously part of a tooth, I thought it was a crown that had come off. I called the office, and although they'd finished for the day, told me to come right in and I did. It turns out that my tooth had fractured through an old filling. Dr. Firestone proceeded to bond it back together in an attempt to save the underlying tooth base. I had no pain during the procedure, and am following up in two days. This is typical of the level of service that I get here, and is why I'd not consider going elsewhere. I am a medical doctor, and observe that this office uses the best equipment and most modern procedures. And they really try to avoid pain! read more

David Firestone has been my dentist for over 25 years and I would totally recommend him 100%. I have had a lot of dental problems through my life, and he has always been there and solved the mysteries of what was going on and how to treat it. My teenage son is his patient as well. He loves going to the office to see the added extra pleasure of 2 very cute doggies that greet him and play. David and staff makes your visit to the dentist a most positive one. You can watch a film, a TV show, or listen to music during your procedure. David always is checking in as he is working on your dental issue,during a procedure, to ask if you are all right, any pain, and there's even comic relief, as he has a great sense of humor, which I appreciate to not get so stressed and so serious as so many of us can in the dental chair. He will always be my dentist, for sure!! read more

Simply... the best. Comfortable atmosphere you won't want to leave! TV's! Great music! The waterfalls! Rocky and Willie! Dr. Firestone will put you at ease and works to make sure you are 110% happy when you leave (again, if you leave). Lalani and the staff are friendly and work with you to get you in to see Dr. Firestone at the best times. He has all the latest equipment and damn fine coffee. read more

As always, I'm hesitant to try a new Dr. because there are so many terrible ones out there. But, I was pleasantly surprised at how nice Dr. Firestone is! His front desk staff is amazing and friendly. He comes out and has real conversations with his patients and his back office staff is extremely friendly as well. He tells you everything you are going to feel before he starts and will address all your concerns. I would definitely recommend Dr Firestone to anyone that needs a dentist. I was also greeted by the two dogs mentioned by another reviewer. They are extremely friendly and hypoallergenic. I'm allergic to dogs and I had no reaction to these little guys. They even come and lick your hand while Dr Firestone is working on you. Its quite funny and definitely makes you feel like you're not in a dentists office. Also, his treatment rooms all have giant sliding glass doors that open to a yard with a babbling brook, plants and greenery. Definitely calming for people who are afraid of the dentist. read more

Dr. Firestone is by far the best dentist I have ever encountered. He is not only an excellent dentist, but he is kind, thoughtful, compassionate, and caring. Basically, he is a decent human being, which is hard to find. Moreover, Dr. Firestone goes above and beyond to ensure that you are comfortable and understand your procedure. Dr. Firestone also uses tools that I have never seen used elsewhere, which made my experience pain free and comfortable. He also takes his time to ensure the procedure is done right. Look no further, schedule an appointment with Dr. Firestone. You will be very pleased. read more

Dr Firestone has been my dentist for more than 20 years. Prior to finding him, I had a huge fear of dentists. Drilling into un-numbed nerves, singing and spraying saliva into my face, pulling teeth instead of trying to save them- this was my previous experience. Dr Firestone and his staff are great. They make you comfortable in your chair, ask if you want to watch or listen to anything, ask how you have been since the last visit and do it all with such a fun and caring attitude. Where else will you find an office that puts a stuffed animal under your knees to make you comfortable? Who else has stickers on the overhead light? Name another dentist who will massage your neck after treatment, because of a recent auto injury. Dr Firestone and his staff do all of this and more. If I could give more stars, I would. read more

Dr. Firestone is an honest, caring dentist who will make sure everything works out, no matter what dental work you have done. I recently had a filling fixed by Dr. Firestone after another dentist told me that I had 6 cavities that need filling without ever looking in my mouth (he took x-rays only). Please note that Dr. Firestone is a character: you will wait because he takes time with his patients, and his small dog does have the run of the office. He's my favorite, hope he will become yours! read more

I recently had a bad experience at my dentist and was in pain for over two months after I went there with no pain to begin with. After being told I needed some serious dental work, I walked out looking for an alternative solution. A friend of mine recommended Dr. Firestone, and I can't thank her enough for it. He solved my issue in one visit without any major procedures. He even called me twice after my procedure to see how I was doing. His office staff are wonderful, and he is a very professional, funny, caring guy. Basically, the opposite of every other dentist I've ever been to. And the best part...he gets the job done! I highly recommend Dr. Firestone for your dental needs. read more

I've been a patient of Dr. Firestone's for 45+ years. He is the most gentle, caring and professional dentist. He takes great pride in the quality of his work and is creative in solving difficult dental problems. He does not recommend dental work that is not absolutely necessary. Expect to laugh a lot at Dr. Firestone's sense of humor. He may not always be on time because he does not rush through procedures. I now live out-of-state and still travel back to Dr. Firestone for my dental visits. read more

My husband and I have been going to Dr. Firestone for a good five years now. He is very good at fitting us in for emergencies, and I really appreciate that I am rarely kept waiting more than 3-5 minutes when I have an appointment. A very well-run tooth shop! read more

Dr. Firestone is a wonderful dentist and an even more wonderful person. He cares about you as an individual and creates a connection with you that makes you put complete trust in him. Dr. Firestone has helped me on many occasions including supporting me on an implant and having my wisdom teeth removed by putting me in the hands of amazing specialists. Recently, I had an agonizing tooth ache that I would generally procrastinate on taking care of but because of how Dr. Firestone makes me feel, I walked into his office without an appointment and without hesitation, he tended to my needs and took his time diagnosing the core issue. The next day my pain was gone! He's a special man and I will always consider him the first friend I made when I moved to Los Angeles! read more

I was David's patient for 20 years plus and he was not only a spectacular dentist but he was also a wonderful person! Although I live in western NY currently I still plan on getting back out to LA for David to resume providing me with top notch dental care that you just can't find anywhere else in this country. David is the best!!!! read more

Dr. Firestone is a caring and wonderful dentist. He tries to take your mind off dentistry stocking his office with magazines, photography, movies to watch while he's working etc. Pain free experience and a committed fantastic doctor. The best! read more

Dr. Firestone would come into the office on a Sunday if you needed him. He's a totally devoted doctor and caring professional.
