The worst mistake of my life was going to this lazy, unethical, borderline evil dentist. Some examples of his "work"... Silver filling replaced. A few years later, needs a root canal. New dentist says filling wasn't seated right and damaged the nerves. Not only was the pain unimagineable, but the one of the roots was calcified so the root canal took twice as long as it should have. Root canal performed. A few years later, new dentist shows me x-ray of same tooth with substantial infection at the root. Says the dentist who did it did not do the root canal thoroughly; said some dentists ignore what they learned in school and become lazy and unethical. Had to have the root canal completely redone which took two 2-hour sessions to get the infection out, plus the cost of a new crown. The one Arthur put on was so ill-fitted...there was an abnormally large gap between this tooth and the one next to it...that it had to be replaced. Silver filling replaced on another tooth. New dentist replaced his bad filling and in doing so, found lots of silver matter under the filling that was supposed to have been removed as well as a crack in the tooth. Tooth no longer gray after having the filling replaced again. This "dentist" should have his license revoked permanently as his work is woefully substandard and he is incapable adhering to a code of ethics. You have been warned.

He is one of most easy going dentist I have ever had and I have had plenty ie plenty meaning a mouthful of fillings and two crowns! I was referred to Dr. Schlachtman from one of my co-workers who has been going to him for years. He was gentle and kept the conversation going even if you could not respond. Now almost our entire office goes to him for their dental care. Most of the time, he wants you to be preventive with your dental care, but he will not push you if you just came to him to take care of some dental emergency. He offers discounts with a certain number of referrals for example six referrals you get free teeth whitening. Dr. Schlachtman's office is located in the medical office towers next to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. It is best to have Delta Dental insurance if you plan to see him. His office will check your insurance before you come see him so that you are aware of your charges.
