Gerald Kirshbaum, DDS

I took my son to see Dr kirshblum because he chipped his front tooth and lost the real tooth that he chipped. I thought my son would never have his beautiful front teeth again and dr kirshblum performed a miracle he was able to bond the front tooth and you cannot tell the difference I would definitely recommend him

I’ve been taking my son to this Dentist for a couple years now and the hygienists are very nice, but Dr. Kirshbaum is not very patient or kind with children, which seems a bit odd for a pediatric dentist. I’ve put up with it because the hygienists have done the cleaning most of the time, but today Dr. Kirshbaum did the cleaning and he was very rough with my son who is not a child who complains a lot. My 6 year old son told him he was grabbing his face too tightly, and the Dr. just barked at him to stay still. He kept pulling my sons head roughly and when my son had moments of gagging or needing to turn his head for a moment (hey, it happens) he didn’t give him a moment, he just impatiently grabbed his head and pulled it back toward him and barked at him again to let him finish. He also told me to move away from the chair and the second time asked me to leave altogether (as if I was the one making my son uncomfortable, LOL!). At that point, I told him I would not leave my son alone there and to please just finish up so we could leave. On the way out, my son kept asking me why the dentist kept gagging him… that says it all I guess. Now I just feel like a bad mom for putting my kid through that. But I won’t again. Worst pediatric dentist!

I am an Assistant Professor at USC School of Medicine and as you would expect as a doctor I have been averse to going into the Dentist for basically my whole life. I found Dr. Kirshbaum’s office from word of mouth and basically struck gold. The particular dentist that took care of me is Dr. Mae Aghili. I researched her and found out that she mostly takes care of children. Having worked with children though, I have noticed that medical and dental professionals who work with children have much better techniques in pain control and being gentle. So I decided to see Dr. Aghili. Let me tell you, my mouth was a disaster when I saw her. I have neglected my teeth for so many years because I work long hours and barely have time for myself. She took out 4 cavities and did 4 fillings and I felt no pain and was done in an hour and a half. She also did a deep cleaning and her work is amazing. I will recommend every man, woman, and child in the greater Los Angeles area to come to her. She is beyond spectacular. I have found my dentist for life and now take my sister, mother, and friends to her. By far she is the best dentist I have ever had and probably one of the best if not the best dentist in Los Angeles.
