Wilshire Center Dental Group

I saw Dr. Rubin for an exam and some fillings, and he was very kind, patient and understanding at both appointments. He spent time to explain the x-ray results and made sure I felt comfortable and welcome when I came back for fillings. I was nervous because I had not been to a dentist in a while, but he made me feel at ease and the entire process was very easy and painless.

Dr. Kaplan is (I’m not even over exaggerating) awesome. The first time I had an appointment with him I honestly said “I get why you have such great reviews.” He sincerely seems like he loves his job, and in turn his patients. He has really calm gentle energy that made dealing with a cavity (dare I say) fun. Honestly looking forward to my next appointment because I know my teeth are in good hands. For those of us who get overstimulated easily, Dr. Kaplan is perfect. Honestly I know this review probably sounds over the top but I mean every word. Dr. Kaplan if you’re reading this, THANK YOU.

I’ve been going here for years. I’ve always been treated well. The procedures have always been done with expertise and care. Since Dr. Kaplan became part of their team, the care and treatment has even gotten better!

I visited Wilshire Center Dental Group for a scheduled dental cleaning. My appointment was at 10:30 am, and by 10:50 am the cleaning was already finished, which felt extremely rushed. The cleaning was done by an Asian male dentist (I don’t recall his name). The procedure consisted only of manual tools, flossing, and a mouth rinse. No ultrasonic cleaning and no polishing were performed. After leaving the room, I could clearly feel that my teeth were still dirty. I went to the bathroom, checked, and there was visible plaque still present, especially on the inner surfaces of my lower teeth. I returned to the dentist to point this out, and he told me that this was “normal,” without re-examining or correcting the cleaning. I took photos immediately after the appointment, which clearly show the remaining plaque. What made the experience worse was the dismissive and condescending attitude I received when I raised my concern. I genuinely felt treated as if I were ignorant for questioning the quality of the cleaning. As a Latino patient and someone using Medi-Cal insurance, I couldn’t help but feel that my concerns were not taken seriously. This is concerning, because many patients may leave thinking their mouth is clean when it is not. A dental cleaning should leave teeth smooth and visibly clean, not with plaque still present. I would not recommend this clinic if you are looking for a thorough, professional dental cleaning or respectful patient care. I strongly suggest people stay away and consider other dental offices that take proper time and care with their patients.

Dr. Marc Rubin is wonderful! He really put me at ease about my teeth and took the time to explain everything clearly. He’s knowledgeable, thorough, and patient — I left feeling informed and confident. Highly recommend!
