Incredibly attentive dentist and staff! Have consistently received A+ cleanings in the 6 years that I’ve been going to his practice. Very nice staff. Attentive Hygienists. And Dr Goldy has a nice, clean office space.
As for Dr Goldy, specifically, he took the time to learn my name (which had never happened before), never made me feel rushed and has always been very honest and thorough with his recommendations and treatments.
As for the other (less than kind) reviews, I just don’t know what to say. Hasn’t been my experience at all. Nor my friends and colleagues who’ve been seeing him for years and who had initially referred me to him back in 2010.
Overall — great dentist, great guy and wonderful staff and experiences.

Dr. Goldy and his staff has been the best dental experience I have had in Los Angeles. He is very caring and explains everything. Worked with my insurance to make everything work as economically as possible and did great work with as little discomfort and pain as possible.
And he has great taste in music, that is piping through his office the whole time. I couldn’t recommend a dental experience more highly. Fantastic.

Dr. Goldy has been my dentist for ten years. He and his staff are always friendly and professional. They have never pushed unnecessary products or services. My cleanings are thorough but feel like they go by fast. Free parking is a plus. When I arrive, most of the time I am able to get started immediately and have never had to wait more than a minute or two. I highly recommend Dr. Goldy!

Dr. Goldy was my dentist for over ten years. I wish I could still go to him, but I moved out of the area. I always found him and his staff to be extremely friendly and attentive. I felt very confident with his suggestions about about my dental care, and particularly pleased with my cleanings. I would highly recommend him to people who may feel uneasy about seeing a dentist. He’ll certainly make you feel comfortable.

Dr. Goldy is truly that — Golden. When my tooth cracked while I was visiting NY, I reached out to him and he got back to me immediately — even though it was 10:30 PM on a weekend! He gave me advice on how to handle it while I was still away (buy wax to protect it until I saw him — including possibly seeing someone local — but I only wanted him to touch my mouth) so I bought the wax and waited till I got back. His office is clean and professional, from the assistants that helped me to the front desk. I went to another dentist once over the past few years, and the confidence and performance of the other dentist was horrible compared to Dr. Goldy. Dr. Goldy is so good at what he does. You can tell when someone truly knows his craft. He is a consummate professional and my new crown is perfect. His office checked up on me to see if I was feeling pain (which I wasn’t because he does such a good job). I am also getting a night guard to avoid future cracks. Oh — and to those of you thinking he’s out to make a buck — my tooth behind it is cracked but he didn’t want to touch it if its not hurting or bothering me and the night guard should help preserve it, so HAH. Also, he doesn’t use mercury fillings and took out all 6 of mine in one day with no problem. Thank you Dr. Goldy and I look forward to many years of dentistry in your golden hands.

I really am offended that other «five star» reviews would call our reviews a «Yelp Fail». That is more of a manipulative label for the new readers, than opinion. There is a reason why most reviewers gave it one star!!! This didn’t just happen out of the blue. It is because Dr. Goldy does UNNECCESSARY procedures (abuse), like removing perfectly good teeth from your jawbone, and charging absurd amounts of out of pocket money to do so.

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Goldy’s for a couple of years now. I have had routine cleanings, x-​rays, a crown and the Zoom whitening treatment. As someone who cringes at the mention of going to the dentist, I was happy to find someone who is patient and explains the ins and outs of what is going on with my teeth and what (if anything) needs to be done. I never feel rushed and always feel comfortable asking questions and trusting that I will get an honest response. The cleanings themselves are quick and painless! Also the office is open and has a lot of light, it provides a nice relaxing environment. I recommend Dr. Goldy for any dental procedure you need done!

Listen, this place was a scam, pure & simple. Beautiful Beverly Hills office notwithstanding, please take note:
— Dr. Goldy will not perform the procedures that he has contracted to perform by agreeing to be on an insurance panel. If you want to serve on a DMO insurance panel, you must agree to perform the procedures for which they reimburse.
— In my case, Dr. Goldy found 4 cavities that needed to be filled, apparently. But he wouldn’t do the type of filling provided for by insurance (see above; not allowed). He was willing to fraudulently bill the insurance company for that type of filling, and then charge me $ 250 per filling on top of whatever he would charge them.
— When I switched to a new primary care dentist, one who would perform the type of filling that my insurance will cover, this dentist looked at my x-​rays and teeth and said that I had no cavities at all, and my teeth were very healthy.
So perhaps this is a routine: tell people they have problems which they do not; insist on procedures which aren’t covered by insurance; offer to fraudulently bill insurance to the extent possible, and then bill you too. STAY AWAY.

I did not have a «regular» dentist, because frankly I fear dentists. Perhaps a childhood phobia, but this has been a real issue for me when i do have dental problems!
In any event, I had a nagging tooth pain for a very long time, likely 3 – 4 years. I always go with the «it will get better theory». And whenever I did have the courage to have this looked at, I was told I needed MAJOR work, like a root canal. Gawd help me!
But the problems I experienced became intolerable, sleepless nights, headaches and difficulty working.
Dr. Goldy was recommended to me by my cousin who I recently had a long-​deserved reunion. She insisted I go. I did however my due diligence, and decided to give Dr. Goldy a try. FANTASTIC EXPERIENCE! Office is lovely (Bev Hills), parking easy enough across the street, so no biggie there. Staff was exceptional getting me in when this became an emergency matter. Dr. Goldy is a very kind (even sweet) guy! I like a dentist that puts me at ease, which he did. The part I hate is the initial numbing injections! PAIN-​FREE and easy. Entire process was just fine. Tooth easily repaired. And because he is honest, I did not need a root canal. Even his assistant was very nurturing to me! this process was hassle and pain free, and Dr. Goldy always asked that I was comfortable, which means a lot.
This is a very good and caring dentist, I have no idea what these other (less than kind) reviewers are talking about, but for me and all the others I have now referred to Dr. Goldy, nothing but 5 plus reviews! Dr. Goldy is my lifetime dentist now.

My daughter had two cavities filled today. It took 45 minutes, with no pain. She walked out and asked for a Pressed Juiced (next door). No complaints and no pain. Thank you Dr. Goldy for making it easy for my daughter.

Really surprised at some of the negative reviews on here.
I needed to find a new dentist closer to my area and found out Dr. Goldy took my insurance and was located in an accessible area of Beverly Hills (2 hour free parking right down the street)
First off, the girls at the front reception are SO NICE — know you by name, super friendly and fun. I feel this is so rare at so many doctor’s offices so it was a pleasant surprise!
The dental hygenist I had for my cleaning was friendly and made the experience more comfortable than it usually is for me.
Dr Goldy himself is friendly and seems knowledgeable — the only reason I didn’t give him 5 stars was because I thought he could be a bit better at explaining things.
All in all, great experience at a place where I don’t normally enjoy going.

Oh man — this is a MAJOR Unilocal fail.
This dentist and his team are nothing but friendly, sweet and professional. Dr. Goldy drilled two old fillings out and is putting crowns in for me. He confirmed my old dentists prognosis and worked swiftly with great music in the background to drill away.
His offices are clean and up to date. He assistant and receptionist are polite and informative.
After reading the reviews I decided that I was not going to get my dental work done there. But I had opted for HMO with my company insurance and named Dr. Goldy as my dentist. I had a broken tooth and needed immediate attention, changing dentists would have cost me one month wait.
So I called the front desk. I told the lady about my concern. She said, look at the «hidden» reviews. I did. They were much nicer. I had to go to him anyway. So I did. And he is AWESOME. And so is his staff. And his office.
My numbness wore off and I have no pain. I didn’t feel him «sticking» me. My bite is perfect now.
I have had a lot of dental work in my life, many root canals, cleanings, fillings and crowns, and this was the best experience that I have ever had.

I love Dr. Goldy. He has been my dentist for probably over 15years, and has always been awesome! He was patient and kind when I had to have a complicated procedure, making sure to answer all my questions and concerns. He has always fit me in when there has been an emergency and has taken such good care of me that I recommend him to all of my friends — many who are now his regular clients!

Finally had my cleaning appointment and filling done yesterday. It was a great experience. I didn’t wait beyond my appointment, everyone was really nice, no one tried to upsell me ANYTHING beyond a mention and my filling was painless and quick.
Dr. Goldy is a great dentist, so again, I am not sure what’s up with some of the reviews below. My wife has been going here for the past couple of years with much success. I plan to remain a customer too.
This was a five star experience. The only reason I’m deducting one star is because I had to wait over a month for them to find an appointment where I could get my teeth cleaned and a small filling filled on the same day. So I wish they had more people or Saturday hours or whatever could remedy that.
And two-​hour free parking at the Rite-​Aid parking structure is awesome too.

WORST EXPERIENCE EVER.
my god, how are they even still in business? Kept me waiting for an hour. and when it finally was my turn I didn’t get a thank you for your patience. my apologies. Nada. Just rushed me in, had me sit down and were ready to proceed. When I asked if my insurance was covering everything, the doctor told me to hold on, in a very annoyed tone and walked off. Later an even more aggitated receptionist walks in and says they will be doing an extra deep cleaning and I need more than one session, and my insurance does not cover it, since its a «deep cleaning «I then said. well I don’t need a deep cleaning, I wish someone discussed this with me earlier. She then answered with «well you do. and if you can’t afford that now, I suppose we can do normal cleaning and you can maybe come back when you can afford it «
WTF? beeyatch.
PEACE OUT & never coming back again !

Dr. Goldy charges you for things that your insurance DOES NOT cover and that are UNNECESSARY.
The people at the office are argumentative and do not give you the correct information.
He requests 4 month cleanings — to get more $$$
He owed me money and it took months and ~5−10 phonecalls, including one from my insurance carrier, to finally pay me back!
i am NEVER going back.

I cringe at giving anyone just one star, but when I think about all of the hassle I had to go through, they’re pretty lucky Unilocal doesn’t have a zero star rating.
You realize, very quickly, how a Dentist can afford to pay rent in Beverly Hills once you experience this operation. I needed an onlay on one little tooth and I got the runaround of the century! When Dr. Goldy told me that it would cost over a thousand dollars (my out of pocket cost after insurance) to get this one tooth fixed I knew something was wrong. I called my provider right away to see where his estimates were coming from. Of course, they confirmed that the procedure was fully covered and I would have a copay of around $ 250. I wasted three months filing out paperwork and calling Dr. Goldy’s staff to rightfully adjust the price they had originally quoted to no avail.
ZERO stars.

Four words: AVOID AT ALL COSTS
I go to this guy because he’s on my plan, and they tell me (rightfully, i’m sure) that I need a crown; I sign up for the procedure, and come back the next week for the first of the two-​step process. I’m sitting in the chair and they hand me a big pile of paperwork to sign. One form lists the charges, and notes that they’re going to charge me an additional $ 600 worth of work above what my insurance will cover. I tell them that the things they’re charging me for may well be totally valid, but before spending $ 600 I want to get a second opinion, and (politely) walk out.
Cut to two weeks later — I get CC: ed on a letter they sent my insurance co., saying I’ve violated the patient/​doctor trust, and they are cutting me loose. Apparently asking for a second opinion counts as me not trusting them — and clearly with good freakin’ cause! Truly, they posses immense chutzpah. Just not in a good way.
Amazingly, they also told the insurance company «patient not following recommended treatment plan.» Apparently, their treatment plan recommends not checking with other dentists before letting them screw me over.
These are bad, bad people.
