If you're in the Los Angeles Area, you will not find a better dentist, period! Dr. Schlachtman sets a standard that all dentists could only hope to achieve. He is incredibly knowledgeable about all aspects of dentistry and puts his patients' dental health first. Without reservation, I can recommend him to anyone in need of any level of dental care, whether it's a simple check up and teeth cleaning or a more substantial treatment. My kids love him, they have been seeing him since they were about 2 years old. Every time I tell them I'm going to the Dentist, they always want to come to, and when I tell them the appointment is for me, they get upset and still want to come and see Dr. Schlachtman. That has to tell you something about him, when little kids want to go see their dentist and are disappointed and upset if they can't go.
