Richard A Stein, DDS

Who likes going to the dentist? I honestly can say that Dr. Stein could not have made my visit more comfortable. I have a bad habit of waiting to get my teeth checked, until I am in awful pain, and not once did he judge or make me feel guilty about my long awaited visit. He was very warm, very honest, and I absolutely appreciated it! His staff is incredible, willing to go the extra mile to make you feel as comfortable (as much as they could, because let’s be honest, this is still the dentist office people!) as you could. Love this place. He is my new dentist! See you in a couple months Dr. STEIN!

Doctor Richard Stein is an extremely skilled dentist. I have never been in pain after being treated by him, even though he had to work with my teeth and gums, which can be very sensitive when the numbness goes away. I have had my share of problems on the dental level, but I would not trade this dentist for another one else! I highly recommend him. To top it off, the receptionist is professional and compassionate. His assistant is delightful, knowledgeable and complement him very well.

I just started going to this dentist, on a strong recommendation from a friend (whose family has been seeing Dr. Stein for years). From the beginning, this office has been a pleasure to work with. The office manager, assistants, receptionists and hygienists are warm and professional, and the office is lovely. I liked the feeling on this place immediately, and when I met Dr. Stein, I was sold. They are accommodating with payment plans, take credit cards over the phone, and are really helpful with sorting through insurance issues. I’m really glad I found this place.

I couldn’t be happier with this office, the dentist, the hygenist and the receptionist. From start to finish I feel at home and at ease. That says a lot coming from me who has dental PTSD (post-​traumatic stress) from prior horrific experiences at the hands of bad dentists. Dr. Stein is so caring and personal. For example, prior to being a patient, I was going through leukemia and had a bone marrow transplant. He heard from the community of my crisis of needing platelets desperately to survive as I was going through it at UCLA and took his free time for he and his wife to go to UCLA to donate platelets for me. This is a MANY hour process, let alone the 100 mi. drive one way. A sacrifice that I had no idea of at the time. After I was home and recovering enough to get life back to normal I needed teeth cleaning. I was recommended Dr. Stein from a friend (who knew nothing of his sacrifice either). When I arrived at the appointment and Dr. Stein realized my name and who I was he gave me a big hug full of rejoicing to see me alive and well and in his office! He told me the story of how he’d prayed for me and gone to UCLA to donate platelets, mind you, having never known me. I was not a patient before. And I wasn’t a patient because of it now. I just happened into his office. Such a blessing to know he had done that for me. So yes, I love this doctor and the staff and the pleasant environment, but he is an extraordinary man and you would be blessed to be seen by him.

I’ve been going to Dr. Stein now for 3 years after a coworker recommended him and haven’t been disappointed yet. Dr. Stein and the hygienists are really friendly, gentle and happy to answer questions and address any concerns. Cathy, the receptionist, is also friendly and efficient. There is no lot parking, but plenty of street parking available. Overall, quality of service is quick, friendly and efficient. I would definitely recommend Dr. Stein and his great team to friends.

I had an appointment recently, and was less than impressed. The hygienists and dentist were all caring and polite. They were friendly and make me feel comfortable. But the receptionist made me never want to come back. She was rude and pushy to me. The receptionist is the first and last person that a client deals with at a dental office, it should be someone friendly. I wouldn’t recommend giving this dentist your business until they employ a receptionist that cares about their clients.

Great dentist. Just stumbled on him by randomly picking a name off a list. I was pleasantly surprised. The hygienists are nice and gentle. I have never come out of there feeling ripped off. They don’t tell me that I have a million cavities that need to be fixed immediately. They are honest good people. They are not looking to make money off of you. Trust their advice. As the other reviewer said, make an appointment early. Their schedule is packed.

This is one of the best dentists I’ve ever been to, and for the record, I’ve been to 5 in my adult life. I wasa recommended tot his dentist by my co-​worker who went to the same church as him. I was pleasantly surprised that nearly all of my co-​workers went to this same dentist.
the hygenists are really sweet and always remember me (probably because of my number of piercings) and are really friendly — he knows how to pick them. The office is always immaculate and they really know their stuff.
I went to Dr. Stein’s office for 6 years and can highly recommend him. The only problem is that because he’s so good, Its hard to get an appointment. But it’s worth the wait. Even though he sees you for a short while, he’s very thorough and quick but friendly during my checkups.
