I had an awful experience with Dr. Famili. When I went in for my first exam, he said 4 teeth needed to be fixed. At my second appointment two weeks later, for some reason it was now 6 teeth. I suspect some of the work he did was unnecessary. Furthermore, he was incredibly rude. When he first began, I was nervous. He responded by pushing back his chair, telling me to come back another day after taking some Valium and Xanax. I was shocked! I should have left right then, but for some inexplicable reason, I didn't. So, he started working. But midway through, he would abruptly get up leave, without telling me why, and disappear for 1/2 hour at a time (happened more than once). I figured out that he was working on other patients. It was bizarre. In all, in order to get three cavities filled, I was in his office for 3 hours and fifteen minutes! One last example. Midway through the exam, he turned away for a minute, and I guess I moved my head slightly. When he looked back at my mouth, he said "goddamit, you just ruined everything i just did." Seriously, wtf? He is a totally unprofessional, nasty person. Stay away!!!!

Dr. Famili is a great all-around dentist. He teaches at the USC dental school, has a celebrity-filled Westside practice, and is very good. It's a little hard to get appointments because the Santa Monica Dental Group is so popular. But you can rest assured that he is very good. The office is staffed by 4-6 dentists, plus hygienists, and admin staff. It's a pretty hoppin' operation.
