It saddens me to write this review. I, like many came to this practice through Dr. Greenman who made my mouth piece for sleep apnea. I have been going to the hygienist who is excellent. On my last visit I had a full set of x-rays and it was determined by Dr. Kacker that I needed 3 crowns replaced. I got the estimated cost which is a BIG number, I do have insurance so I asked the front office to submit to my insurance company to see what they would cover. I was asked if I wanted to make an appt. I responded with, I need to know what I'll need to come up with and I was in no discomfort. I received a letter from my insurance company asking for more info. I contacted the front office sent a copy of what was needed to the office and was told that they would handle it. A few weeks went by and nothing from my insurance company. So I called the office again and end result is the DDS office did not forward the additional info. I started to think that I should get a second opinion, again no discomfort. After my visit with a new dentist finding ABSOLUTELY nothing wrong with my crowns in fact commenting that my teeth are in good shape! I'm totally disillusioned with this situation. I come from a generation where you trust these professionals, well no more. get a second opinion with this practice.. I'm 6K richer today and don't have to go through dental procedures which weren't necessary! I WILL NOT BE SETTING FOOT IN THIS DDS OFFICE EVER AGAIN. read more

I'm a prior patient of Dr. Greenman who knew what he was doing. Kacker did not! Kacker did a four hour procedure on me and used IV sedation. He discharged me while I was semiconscious. The first think I knew was waking up on my living room floor still unable to move for about an hour. His office phoned me to see how I was doing. I could not move so the call went unanswered. Instead of checking back his office did nothing. If you need IV sedation, find another dentist. He has no experience in this. read more

Prior patient of Dr Greenman, who retired and sold his practice to Kacker. Do not go to Kacker. Not in the same league as Dr Greenman's practice, not even close. Kacker initially presents well but (and look at past reviews to verify) WILL NOT call a patient back himself. If you have a problem, concern or question, Kacker will not be calling you. Dr Greenman gave out his personal cell- can there be more of an opposite approach to patient/doctor communication? The experience w/ Kacker was bad. Overall, he is arrogant. The only thing worse than interacting with Kacker was dealing with his front office staff. I really wonder what's going on there. Is there a nitrous tank leak in the front office? It was like dealing with an elementary school class. You have to check EVERY thing they do- even something simple like verifying your email or confirming your next appointment. Just horrible experience. Do not recommend at all read more

I have been seeing Dr. Kacker for years for dental work and, more recently TMJ treatment. The doctor and his staff are extremely warm and welcoming, and they make me feel right at home and relaxed. Dr. Kacker has a knack for explaining what I can expect from my TMJ treatments and what I can do to at home to help my symptoms. He has cutting edge technology and is the best in his field. I can't imagine anyone else caring for my family's dental health. Thank you Dr. Kacker and staff! read more

Clean little office. The staff women are friendly. Dr. Kacker himself comes across as personable, and he speaks well. Unfortunately, the work is what matters and the work is not good. (Truly, one of the great regrets of my life: allowing Dr. Kacker to work on my teeth.) His dental work literally fell apart in my mouth. Twice. (And then he refused to fix it--while I'm sitting in his chair in unbearable pain--without me paying him first. It was awful.) The pain on several occasions, during several procedures, was extreme. Keep searching for another dentist, friend. read more

I would love to start with saying Thank you to Dr. Kacker and his amazing staff. I have been a patient of his for a long time and I can say this is the best Dentist in Southern California. Visiting a dentist can always be a little intimidating but not when visiting Dr. Kacker's office. When arriving you are greeted by his wonderful and caring front office staff and right way taken back to the exam room. The whole experience is soothing, and painless. I've had dental deep cleanings, full mouth digital scans, and in office teeth whitening. He uses all new top of the line technology. I strongly recommend him if you are looking for excellent dental care. Once again, Thank you Dr. Kacker and team!!! read more

Dr. Kacker and his staff are fantastic!! They are attentive and responsive to my questions and concerns. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a new dentist or for a change. read more

I can't recommend Dr Kacker any more than I can by saying he is the best dentist and person I have ever known! In 1998, he put on my veneers and no matter what dentist I have seen as I moved around the country over the years,they always ask "who did these as they are awesome!" This past month, I was in a training class in Thousand Oaks and one of my teeth cracked. Mind you, I had moved away in 2005 so I did not have a local dentist. I called Dr Kacker's office and he remembered me from 13 years ago. He immediately had me come in and he fixed my tooth! If you live in the greater Ventura County and or the western side of LA County, do yourself a favor and make him your dentist. Best Margo read more

Be careful of getting unnecessary dental work. My greatest regret is that I didn't get a second opinion on the dental work. I got the extra dental work and am now having to get it all fixed. Sadness. read more

Dr. Kacker is Magical with an amazing bedside manner. He is a perfectionist when it comes to Cosmetic Surgery. I recommend Dr. Kacker to everyone. Gerie's Fashion Closet read more

Doctor Kacker is very personable and likable dentist. I used him for a Medicare approved sleep apnea appliance. He did his best to try and make it comfortable for me but at the end of the day I would not recommend this appliance. My husband however had problems with TMJ caused by the appliance which were not addressed by Frank , Doctor Kacker's assistant. He told my husband to give it a few days but he ended up at an ENT specialist who put him on medication for the extreme pain in his jaw. Frank should have brought Doctor Kacker in on this problem which was not addessed properly and as a result I cannot recommend this office. They are probably a great dental office but I would not recommend them for the Medicare approved sleep apnea appliance. read more

After my first visit I walked out of there so happy to have found a fabulous dentist with a wonderful staff! It's not easy to find a great dentist so I am very pleased that we have. My husband has been there a few times and is very happy. Which is especially fantastic after a few not-so-great experiences and less than adequate dental work from other dentist in the area. Dr. Kacker is smart, knowledgeable and super friendly as is his staff. Everyone was so friendly, easy-going & pleasant to chat with that my dentist visit was actually enjoyable! I was very impressed by some of the ideas he had for my TMJ. I also love that he takes a more holistic approach, that is very important to me. read more

My husband and I have been going to Dr. Kacker for over 7 years and I can't imagine anyone else caring for my teeth. He is always on top of the latest technology and research of oral health. More importantly, he cares about you as a patient and really listens to any concerns about your teeth. I have no more concerns cuz he keeps my smile sparkling. Heck! I'm smiling now... don't let the bright white hurt your eyes! Also, he's a master at the needle. I barely feel anything when he has to numb my mouth for a procedure. He is honest and will work with you in getting your needs met. He is reasonable and practical and will advise you of your options to fit your budget. The staff is also friendly and the rooms are comfortable with Netflix to entertain/distract you. I've referred many friends to him and they all owe me big! Lol. If you go see him after reading this - you're welcome! read more

I love this place! Do I LOVE dentists?! NO, however Dr. Kacker is amazing and so is his dental clinic! His staff is stupendous and they are gentle and very efficient. Just got my teeth whitened in 40 minutes and they look absolutely amazing! read more

I have been going to Dr.Kacker for 15 years. He is a great cosmetic dentist , my teeth have never looked better.I love Dr Kackers and his staffs attention to details and their caring kind hearted approach. Best dental office ever! Thanks Dr. Kacker for the great smile and care. read more

unfortunately I have nothing nice to say about Dr. Kacker and my visit. He worked on my teeth and did filling and within a week I had tremendous pain I called their Office and wanted to talk to him and he never returned my calls, instead the girl from their front desk called me back and I asked her if she's the dental assistant and she said no... and they wanted to change me almost $3000.00 any how I went to another dentist and he said this teeth needs to be root canal not filed ... the funny thing is that this dr. Kacker never called me back to see how am I doing! After I complained about the unnecessary work and charges, Their office told me they don't take insurance and asked me to just pay about $500.00, after I paid the full amount I found out they also got money from my insurance! Do not trust Dr Kacker make sure you get second opinion. My experience tells me he's not looking out for his patients healthy teeth, he's just looking out for his pocket! so stay away from his office but if you go make sure he doesn't smell money from you! Don't go with designer bag and your big diamond ring or you would be his victim:( read more

I have been going to Dr. Kacker since 1996. He treats his patients like family. He always stays up with the latest and greatest procedures. He is caring and his staff are great. I highly recommend him to everyone. I will never change! read more

Super experience and great staff.. Hands down DR Kacker is my new dentist, super friendly and professional. Thank you

Dr.Kacker is an outstanding dentist. Three generations of our family see him. His staff is very courteous and extremely professional. I highly recommend Dr.Kacker. read more

My family and I LOVE Dr. Kacker and his entire staff, they are all so helpful and kind. We have been going to him for years and I wouldn't trust anyone else with our teeth. Right before I got married (a little over a year ago) he helped my husband who hadn't been to the dentist in a very long time because he was so afraid, he knew he had a lot of ongoing dental problems and didn't want to deal with them but I pushed him to go. Upon arrival he was greeted with the same kindness I've always gotten and we reassured him that everything was going to be ok, there was nothing to be afraid of because Dr. Kacker is the most caring and gentle dentist there is and throughout this process.. multiple appointments later.. my husband didn't complain about pain during or even after these procedures once. Since his first appointment he has been consistently going back to fix things that otherwise would have been left just to get worse and worse. I can honestly say that Dr. Kacker has worked a miracle in making my husband not only believe in the dentist again but he also saved his smile!! read more

Great dentist and staff. They take their time and give you enormous amounts of attention. Very clear about procedures. Dr. Kacker is excellent. read more

Excellent cosmetic dentist. He fixed a botched implant for me that messed up my whole smile. It looks excellent now. He clearly takes his time and puts a lot of effort into making sure his patients are satisfied. All the technology he used to analyze my teeth was top of the line (and blew what my previous dentist did out of the water). Highly recommended. read more

This man ruined my life. The work was so bad that I have spent over $15,000 Trying to correct it with orthodontics, surgery for the damage done from the bad work, Root canal! And I'm far from done. My strong, healthy, beautiful teeth were so badly damaged by this man, Dr. Kacker that I have not had a moments peace since I saw him. I will be lucky if I don't lose all of my teeth after what he did. One onlay had a random piece sticking up so sharp that it caused a pre- cancerous lesion on the side of my cheek. When I went back to show him another tooth that had a part of an onlay fall off, and how bad the occlusion was that I was left with, he yelled at me for 20 minutes and refused to look in my mouth. Then he would not give me all of my records back. The records would have clearly shown what my teeth looked like when I started in his office. I still have pictures from a previous dentist from only months before. A friend of mine also went to him and ended up having to get a root canal because of the bad work Kacker did. Not only is this man's work inferior, but he is unethical and refuses to even try to fix any mistakes with dentistry or monetarily. I would hate to see this happen to anyone else. STAY AWAY!!!! read more

So here's why I travel a good 45 minutes from West LA to the offices of Dr. Kacker: He's the best in the business, and his staff is equally knowledgeable and friendly. The hygienist who worked on my teeth had 10+ years exp, and the results were immediately visible in the work. I only get in for cleanings maybe once a year, but I left my last visit looking like I'm a regular (twice a year) visitor. If your someone like me, who doesn't get in to see a dentist as often as you maybe should, and are somewhat hesitant about the whole experience i.e. procrastinator. Don't Be: Dr. Kacker's office is worth the trip, and his hygienists offer painless and professional care while his oversight and advice are geared towards the long term overall care of his patients. Take a look: most of the people posting here have been going for years. Make the trip... read more

Dr. Kacker has been phenomenal in providing our dental care for more than 15 years. With a caring and professional approach, he competently incorporates practical and realistic treatment. I look forward to seeing him every six months. I cannot imagine enjoying another dentist as much as Dr. Kacker. read more

Dr Kacker and his team are all amazing. I was hesitant to change dentists after our move from the Westside and thought I'd never find someone I loved as much as my Santa Monica dentist...but to my surprise, I like Dr Kacker even more! My kids and husband are also big fans. We highly recommend them! read more

Best dentist EVER! I have been going to Dr. Dave for 8 years and I have always had the best, most honest dental treatment. He is truly a wonderful person and an excellent doctor. Definitely worth making the drive to see him. read more

I have been seeing Dr. Kacker for over 10 years now! I am always treated within a timely manner and with the utmost care and compassion! They are just awesome. I have referred friends here who are now regular clients and feel the same way I do... I wouldnt go anywhere else! Their staff is always friendly and professional and like family. read more

As good as it gets. He is the best in the business. Clean, professional, and great results every time. Highly recommended.
