Doctors Lenard and Richard Katz are amazing! They are consistent, neat, and very helpful.

BEWARE BEWARE BEWARE! This is the 1st time I'm leaving a bad review EVER! About 6 months ago I had a filling done, and it's failing terribly. I have been to dr Katz multiple times when I've had last minute dental emergencies. Each time Ive gone they've tried convincing me I have root canals. Funny enough my sinus dips down onto my back top teeth as it sits low so that causes me pain sometimes which I was unaware that that was causing me the pain. Regardless, each time they've tried getting me to do a root canal and crown when it was the last thing needed! They only care about making a buck and not your oral health. At my last visit for this "failed" filling, he kept shaving down all the rest of my teeth to make them balance to the filling which should have been opposite. It has since caused me problems with my bite, eating, and grinding at night is worse than ever. My mouth almost feels like the NY skyline after my last visit. I am suffering from extreme pain now and need it to be noted that this group only cares about upselling and not the actual issue at hand. So please BEWARE. The last visit for this failed filling was with Dr Katz son. The whole time he kept pushing root canal and crown. Good thing I took a photo of the xray and sent to a family friend in NY who happens to be an award winning dentist and said there was no problem and I was likely being scammed for more money. I have since moved to Florida and have to go to a local dentists to fix the failed filling and everything else I was caused by the faulty work at this practice. Oh and to be clear, I'm not a random person. I've known dr Katz from synagogue since I'm a child. My mother went to school with him so it really bothers me to have to write this review. All this work done with them was probably the worst thing I've ever done. So I really hope you all do your own research and choose wisely. Hopefully elsewhere so you don't run into issues months after the work which seems to be their specialty. read more

I My dentist appointment went really well and I was honestly impressed with the whole experience. Even though I had four cavities that needed to be treated, the dentist and the staff made everything feel comfortable and stress-free. They explained each step clearly, worked efficiently, and were very gentle during the procedure, which helped me stay relaxed the entire time. The service was excellent from start to finish, and everyone was professional, friendly, and attentive. Overall, what could have been a stressful visit turned into a really positive experience thanks to the great care and quality service I received. ASK FOR DR KATZ (hes the best) read more

This was hands down one of the best experiences I've ever had at a dentist's office. I had a few cavities filled and was expecting to feel sore afterward--but to my surprise, I felt totally fine once the numbing wore off. No pain, no soreness, not even a need for Advil! Dr. Hillel Katz was wonderful--kind, efficient, and respectful of my time. He worked quickly without making the experience feel rushed, which I really appreciated. Truly an amazing experience from start to finish. I'll definitely be going back! read more

I've had such a great experience at Dr. Katz. The entire staff is attentive, friendly, and incredibly organized; appointments always run on time. The hygienists are thorough and knowledgeable, and the care feels both professional and personal. Pricing is fair, parking is easy, and everything about the visit is seamless. Truly a delightful dental visit from start to finish! read more

Wonderful staff, wonderful experience. The most gentle cleaning I've ever had! No pain at all. The Dr. took amazing care of my boyfriend's broken tooth and didn't try to force him to get an implant. Make Dr. Katz your dentist!!! read more

Excellent service by Dr Lenard Katz ! Great doctor , thorough , and also provides good follow up care. He makes sure everything is ok before we leave his office.

Very professional office, all staff and Dr. Katz are really nice and great at their job. In and out for a few cavities and impressed. Thank you all read more

I woke up with severe pain in my tooth, and was able to get an appointment with Dr. Len. It was my first time at this dental office and to say I'm grateful for the visit would be an understatement. Dr. Len was absolutely wonderful. Took the time to answer my questions, and I never felt rushed. The staff is great; Costello and Marta helped me feel at ease. And Ellen at the reception desk had the brightest smile on her face. My experience was so good, I scheduled an appointment for my son who has autism. read more

It's been a while since my last dental cleaning, due to last trauma I let Dr. Shafa know about this beforehand, and right away I felt so comfortable. The quality of care was beyond measure, including his amazing dental assistant Castelo. 100% will be coming back, such an amazing practice! read more

I've been at other dentist where I've been rushed through, or worse, felt like I was getting a sales pitch on all the work or treatments they "needed to do." Not here. I was treated with honesty and respect all the way through. Felt like I was working with a family business that truly cares about doing good work, not some large corporate medical group. Dr. Katz and his staff were all very nice, caring and good at what they do -- efficient, but also taking the time to explain payments, insurance, etc. Great experience overall. read more

The quality of patient care here is lacking. Right when I walked in the receptionist, Ellen, wasn't that friendly or inviting. I brushed it off as her having a bad day or generally being slammed at work. It's when I got my cleaning that prompted me to write this review. The hygienist, Michelle, was very rough with the my gums right off the bat and I was clearly tense or wincing in pain while she continued abusing my gums. I tried to tough it out but eventually I asked her if she could please be more gentle. Her tone was dismissive and answer long winded claiming she was doing it for me but she could be as gentle as I wanted. Thankfully she offered numbing cream but I could still feel her poking and scraping pretty roughly and i could taste blood for the majority of the time spent cleaning. After what felt like ages, she finally finished and I was left feeling very upset. I checked my teeth in the car mirror after I left and found Michelle cut my gums and there was a blood clot there. I called back later to air my grievances about my cleaning and cancel any upcoming appointments due to this awful experience. She cancelled my appointments but didnt acknowledge my experience or offer any apology about the cleaning. She just said ok and hung up. Im baffled at the how I was treated and I wouldnt recommend coming here read more

The most efficient, competent and friendly dental office in LA! Dr Len is outstanding, patiently explaining every detail of your work.

This is my first time visiting Katz Dental Group, and my experience was extremely positive. They were able to make me a next-day appointment, and even though I showed up late, they were still about to slot me in. The cleaning was fast and gentle, was well as the x-rays. It was particularly nice that the x-ray images were on a big display I could view as they were taken. The whole office seemed to run like a well-oiled machine. Everyone was really nice as well. I was in and out in less than an hour. I would 100 percent recommend Katz Dental Group. read more

Katz Dental Group is among the top-notch ones I have been treated by. I have received excellent care for my cleanings and dental work. Dr. Lenard Katz is exceptionally nice, warm, friendly, and knowledgeable. The staff is professional, thorough, and caring. It is an absolute pleasure to have found my new Dental group within walking distance of my home. read more

The office was super accommodating and friendly, my filling was painless, and we didn't even have to use the numbing since it wasn't that deep of a chip. I'm grateful for this office! read more

I went to Dr. Katz because he had a five star rating. He was okay as a dentist but I was astounded by how rude he was to one of the patients near me. I figured he was having an off day. Next time I was back for a cleaning six months later he was being super rude to someone else which is a shame because he's smart and he seems like he's pretty good at dentistry. I wanted to like him but I felt like his rudeness towards the other patient was peppered with narcissistic red flags and insecurity posing as arrogance and superiority. It was like listening to trump being a dentist so I already knew I had to look for a new dentist but I figured I might as well to get my teeth cleaned and examined that day. He was okay at first but then he said something that was likely inaccurate so I asked about the research behind what he was stating and he went NUTS. What he didn't know was that I had very carefully researched the safety of what he was talking about and I read through countless studies on PubMed. Instead of just saying he didn't know or remember, he was in my opinion bombastic and rude. When I got home I looked at his reviews and he was a pretty solid three star dentist. I week later I went to write a review and he literally had 80+ new five star reviews which in my opinion is too much too fast and Yelp's AI should be examining the IP addresses as well as the reviewers' accounts to see if those are paid reviews or if they're real. I think as far as his dentistry, I would give him three stars because he was okay not bad not great but I can't give him any higher than a one star overall because of his unprofessionalism both with others and myself. His front desk person was super grumpy but the younger front desk person with the dark brown hair was very nice and very capable. read more

They are amazing took me on Easter Sunday Ellen called back promptly even a second time as I was just arriving to LA she showed me personally where to park I have never seen a rockstar staff being so humble at the same time in LA Dr Shafa and Dr. Katz working together as a team immediately diagnosed me in minutes normally you are referred and again waiting days Costello amazing x ray tech one should always be fabulous in their work yet remain humble and down to earth Dentist here in LA need to learn from this group read more

Leonard Katz is a very hands on and kind dentist. I got three fillings done in the last week and he has checked in with me later in the day to see how I am feeling. I don't think I have ever had a doctor do that and it feels very safe and comforting. I would recommend anyone to this dentist. read more

Katz Dental Group 10289 West Pico Blvd. Los Angeles, CA 90064 HORRIBLE dentist! Stay away! Watch yourself! I started my treatment with Katz Dental Group over 2 1/2 years ago (since then they still have not finished my mouth until now. When I started my treatment, Dr. Farhad Shafa DDS told me he would finish in 1 to 2 months. I was supposed to replace all my crowns in my uppers and bottoms. Since then, even until now he has not finished the job and I'm still left with 15 temporary crowns and the incorrect installation of some of the other crowns. Dr. Shafa didn't pay attention to the shape, width, color, arch or length of my previous teeth to make the new ones the same. Dr. Shafa didn't even take any before and after x rays of my mouth (the doctor doesn't even have any x rays of my previous teeth or anything he did in my mouth). The damages he caused in my mouth were terrible. He broke some existing previous implants. Dr. Shafa made a hole in my upper gum above the 2 front teeth. Dr. Shafa anesthetized my mouth 35 times in the last 2 1/2 years. He changed labs 4 different times and each time they didn't do the casing right. Every time we got back the case, even though he knew the case wasn't matching correctly,, according to what we agreed on regarding the length, shape, width, color, and arch, he still anesthetized my mouth so many times, I got vertigo. It felt like the floor was spinning under me. I called my wife to take me to the urgent care and I'm still suffering from vertigo to this day. They took from me over $20,000 which is the full amount of our arrangement for our mouth. I'm still with 15 temporary teeth in my mouth and whatever installation was done in the upper mouth was incorrect. I also agreed from the beginning with Dr. Shafa to do Zirconia like my previous teeth had looked. When the labs were sending casing, it didn't look like Zirconia. It looked like cheap material and I was complaining to Dr. Shafa that I had asked for the color "OM 3" and that what I have in my mouth is "OM2". Ever since the vertigo first happened on the dentist's chair in the clinic, I still have a spinning sensation. All along the way, Dr. Shafa lied to me and hid necessary information about how I can make the right decision about things, thought only about money, and nothing to do with my smile or my health! Before I started to put up this review, I called Dr. Richard H. Katz DDS, the Head of Katz Dental Group to complain about everything. He said to me "even if you go to God and tell him your story and he tells me to give you your money back I'll still tell you to go fuck yourself"! I don't wish this horrible experience on anyone that I had with Dr. Farhad Shafa and Dr. Richard H. Katz. Katz Dental Group is a horrible place, they are liars, they are unprofessional, only care about money instead of your health, and don't care about the final result or your smile!DANGEROUS!! Now I'm stuck with no money to finish 15 temporary teeth in my mouth with the upper teeth installed incorrectly! I feel air in my gums when I speak and my bite is so bad I can't eat! BEWARE!! Don't go! I found that in 2013 Dr. Farhad Shafa was investigated for overbilling and more! You can Google it online and check it) If I'd have known this, I NEVER would have gone! read more

I had a chipped tooth and needed to be seen right away. Ellen was so wonderful to figure it out to squeeze me in and Dr Katz was absolutely amazing!!! I was in and out of there fast with lots of gratitude. Will definitely be coming here again. read more

Wonderful experience at Katz Dentistry! I was looking for a new dentist since the pandemic and this place was perfect. Dr. Rebecca Grodko took care of all my dental needs. I had a really thorough and gentle teeth cleaning and X-rays. She took time and explained all my X-rays thoroughly - she gave me such peace of mind about the health of my teeth. The cleaning was thorough but gentle and she gave me great recommendations. Parking is easy and the area is super central. I'll definitely be coming back to Dr. Grodko for my 6 month check up. Also i felt very safe and everyone was following COVID protocols very seriously read more

Came here today for a cavity. Hardly had to wait before being brought to a chair, and had a speedy X-ray. Hardly felt the anesthesia needle. Dr. Katz was entertaining and the cavity was filled and work was completed before I could start to get anxious. I felt no pain! hope I don't need any more dental work again, but if I do, I'll come back here. read more

I've had poor dentist experiences most of my life, so happy to finally meet someone whose primary focus is your well being, comfort and health. I'd recommend him time and turn again.

This clinic was wonderful. I haven't been to the dentist in a while and was not looking forward to it, but they made everything as comfortable as this could be. Staff were great, dentist was kind, fast and attentive. The dental assistant was friendlier than you could imagine. They were clear on what exactly I needed to do for my insurance to cover a portion of the costs. Everything was very easy and efficient. read more

None of us are excited to visit the dentist, however if you have to go..THIS IS THE PLACE!!! The staff are extraordinarily warm, the hygienists here work hard to provide a deep cleaning with NO PAIN:) The Doctors are both amazing-my teeth are sparkling clean-actually looking forward to my next cleaning:)) read more

I've been going to Dr. Katz for 25 years! I honestly can't remember how I found him. The office is very clean and his staff and hygienists and warm and friendly. I recently had four 25-year-old crowns replaced and though it was a long process, Dr. Katz did a great job and always kept me informed about what was going on. They always give you a free toothbrush after a cleaning, and I love their pink building with a giant tube of toothpaste on the front! Nice waiting area, magazines and free coffee. read more

Best Dentist I've been to in Los Angeles. Me, my wife, and my 3 young children are all patients. Professional, Friendly, Clean, Honest. The Best. read more

I recently went to see Dr . Katz for a cleaning . The staff is lovely, welcoming and very professional. I had x rays and a cleaning. My xrays showed a cracked crown and an old crown that needed to be replaced .Everything was done while i was there. I am so happy to have found this dental office !!! read more

Covid risk. I had to ask Dr.Katz to put his mask on properly. His mask was not over his nose and he was wearing zero ppe, his shirt unbuttoned. Note he was not wearing a n95 but a run of the mill surgical mask and no face shield. It got better as he gloated that his family members are moving to Texas to avoid liberal taxes. Aside from him his staff was kind, tho the office is old and run down. Literally the worst dental experience of my life. read more

Katz Dental Group is one of the best dental offices in all of Southern California. The entire staff is so caring, honest, and professional. Dr. Gabe Rosenthal is amazing beyond words. He is an excellent doctor who is truly dedicated to dentistry, and treats his patients with the utmost care. Michelle is also one of the best dental hygienists ever. She is so kind and does the most thorough cleaning. I always look forward to visiting this office as they are all amazing, including Ellen at the front desk! This dental office truly feels like family to me while receiving top notch dental care. Look no further than Katz Dental Group! read more

I am SO thankful for Dr Katz!! I've had some very bad experiences in the past. He is knowledgeable, friendly & seriously skilled! While this office may not be fancy or on the cutting edge...they know how to take care of peeps. Also I absolutely have a phobia of dentists, and he was constantly checking in. It was all finished in a timely manner:). So thankful! read more

STAY AWAY! My mom went to Dr. Rosenthal for a bridge. Her bridge was placed incorrectly with a huge gap. This can lead to an infection. A very dangerous situation for someone with a heart valve replacement, which he knew about!! After her bridge was placed, she kept coming in to the office for discomfort and he never once told her that there was a gap or that it was placed incorrectly. The ethical thing to do would have been to admit it and correct it. When she went to another dentist, she saw the visible and obvious gap and horrible bridge job Dr. Rosenthal did. When he was confronted about it, he said he told us about it...uh no!!!! My mom had to go to another dentist and get it fixed. Thanks Dr. Rosenthal for messing up my mom's bridge and putting her health in danger. If you want an unethical dentist who is practicing procedures on you - then this is your guy! read more

I have been seeing Dr. Katz for about 3 years now. I love that the office is open on Sundays so I don't have to miss work! They are so helpful, compassionate, and accommodating, and go out of their way to try and help you. Ellen in the office even called me on her day off to see how I was feeling!l read more

Went to Dr. Katz to day to get my teeth cleaned and here are the pro's and con's Pro's: Easy to get a appointment Quick Prices are reasonable You don't get the how important flossing is speech. Con's Not a state of the art dentist office. Sort of looked run down Dr. Katz and my Hygenist were nice but not overly nice. Did not get that special feeling after I left. Bothered me that after getting my teeth cleaned I was taken into the X Ray room and guess who was taking a nap in the patient chair? Dr Katz !!! Everything was just sort of boom boom boom. After X-rays were done Dr. Katz came in and said I needed a crown said sorry and then left the room. Bottom line: If you are looking for a quick, easy no frills dentist then Dr. Katz is for you If you want more of a pampered experience then Dr. Katz is not for you After leaving the office I just felt I had a avg. experience sort of like a goalie who does not win the game but does not lose it either. read more

Dr. Katz has been my dentist for over 27 years. (We were just kids back then.) Before I found him, I tried four other dentists, but one visit to Dr. Katz resulted in a life-long relationship. My smile says it all. Thank you Dr. Katz ! read more

There is nothing worse than a bad toothache, except a bad toothache on the weekend or in the middle of the night. I have had major tooth pain at both times. I called Dr. Gabe Rosenthal and he picked up, once in the middle of the night and once on the weekend and he met me at his practice within 1 hr. On one of these occasions I needed a root canal as my tooth was dead from being knocked into during a basketball game. I wanted the pain gone so badly because it was by far the most pain I have ever felt. Typically, if I needed a dental procedure I would stall and stall, but all that has ended now that I have Dr. Gabe Rosenthal as mu dentist. He truly cares about his patients and you can see it in his interactions with his patients. Most importantly he is a superb dentist. I have had several unfortunate issues where I have needed a crown, root canal, and some reconstructive work on my front teeth after they were sadly realigned during basketball. THERE ARE ONLY A FEW THINGS MORE IMPORTANT IN LIFE than having a reliable and talented dentist- it is just that you ONLY REALIZE THIS WHEN IT IS NEEDED. That being said, I really encourage those who need a dentist to use Dr Gabe Rosenthal and I cannot recommend him or his staff any greater! read more

MEANT TO SAY THAT: DR. BIMBLI THE ELDER WAS SO HYPER WHILE HE WORKED ON MY MOUTH...THAT HE BECAME ACTUALLY VIOLENT WITH MY GUMS AND TEETH. INSTEAD OF TREATING MY MOUTH GENTLY...HE STABBED HIS HYPO FULL OF LYDOCAINE INTO MY GUMS. Lidocaine - Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lidocaine Lidocaine, also known as xylocaine and lignocaine, is a medication used to numb tissue in a specific area. It is also used to treat ventricular tachycardia and to perform nerve blocks. Duration of action: 10 min to 20 min(IV), 0.5 h to ... AHFS/Drugs.com: Local Monograph Injectable ... Onset of action: within 1.5 min (IV) I SHOULD HAVE PUNCHED HIM IN THE PUSS AND LEFT THE BUILDING IMMEDIATELY. WHEN THE CAP WAS DONE...IT WAS BRIGHT YELLOW...AND DID NOT MATCH MY OTHER TEETH AT ALL. THEN, HIS WORMY YOUNGER BROTHER, WHO WAS NOT SUPPOSED TOUCH MY TEETH CAME OVER TO ME AND SAID " LET ME CHECK YOUR TEETH. HE FALSELY TOLD ME THAT I HAD ANOTHER CAVITY...HE PULLED OUT OLD XRAYS FROM 8 MONTHS BEFORE...I TOLD HIM NEVER TO GO NEAR MY MOUTH AGAIN. Should have slugged him too! When I finally got an appointment with Dr. Katz...I finally felt I was with my new and improved family. Katz and his entourage...were amazing. I told them I wanted to remove all Bimbli work and start anew. Katz worked 3 times as fast as the Bimblis. My prep work for the new cap was done in 1/2 hour. And I only had to pay for the work done that day. The office is super-organized and everyone makes notes on the computer so everyone else knows what's going on. THEY ARE A TEAM! He told me the truth about my teeth...and said that the Bimblis lied. There was no new cavity. Bimblis were trying to trick me into more mouth work: All Bimbis should retire and stop hurting their patients. The first time I was at the Bimblis...I was surprised to find that they had bought my original dentist's practice...because they forgot to send out notices to everyone. I was in shock and told them I would THINK about coming back. They had assigned Bimbli Jr. to me, when I specifically asked for Bimbli Sr. Doesn't matter,,,they both sucked and worked as an evil team. I will be suing them ASAP for crappy work and torturing patients. I had asked Bimbli senior to wait until I did my yoga breaths to prepare myself for the dental hypo. He was laughing like a maniac and didn't listen to one word I said. Even the dental assistant told him to slow down. He hurt me and I hate him. Hopefully he won't be practicing for very much longer! They shouldn't have started with me, I tell ya! I'm feckin' exhausted now. Thank you for letting me vent! read more

I was experiencing a toothache to what seemed to me like a wisdom tooth kind of pain! It was very hard to find a dentist office that's open on a Sunday, so that's definitely one of the pros about this place! They are open on Sundays, and they were able to squeeze me in for an emergency visit right away. I would say my first time visit to this clinic went pretty smoothly. The staff has an excellent customer service - very warm and helpful. Dr Israel removed my wisdom tooth and I did not feel a thing! He explained the procedure well and was very re-assuring! I thought it was also nice that he called me personally after my visit to follow up and see how I was doing! The only con I can think of would be that his office is way too cold! I was freezing! Other than that, I write this review with high recommendation and I would definitely consider coming back. read more

Dr Rosenthal is the best dentist I have ever been to. Always a painless experience with katz dental.
