Martin Lasky, DDS

Martin was mean to both me and my kid. Suggested xrays that had already been done. I would never go back.

Unfortunately I did not get to see the doctor to rate him but here is the story.
I did not get pass the waiting room.
The waiting room is really nice and child friendly. I wanted to take my daughter here for her forst check up. She is 2 years old. I called and asked if they take my insurance (delta ppo) and they said yes. When I got there to check in, as I was signing the papers I realized that it said they will bill at their own rates and i have to pay their rate even if the insurance pays. This means not only my deductible but also what ever they like to bill for. when i askrled about that they said that is how they work and they are out of network will almost all insurances. So i left without being seen.
please read papers carefully before getting care as you may end up with a huge bill even with a good insurance.

This office was going to be my children’s dentist until I went with 2 of my kids for a routine cleaning and and the bill was over $ 600. Needless to say I was shocked. There was no prior explanation of cost, just the final tab. The visit included routine cleaning, x ray, and sealant. I later found out this should have cost no more that $ 300. Wow. Anat

The dentists in this office are always attentive and professional. My kids actually like going to see them and ask when the next appointment is scheduled. Their work is top notch in all respects. We couldn’t ask for a better pediatric dentist.

I have 5 kids, three are triplets ages 3 years old. Dr. Lasky is without a doubt the best Pedi dentist we have ever been to. My kids love him and so do I. He is very understanding and a great comunicator. He is Harvard trained. It is upsetting to see that someone left him 1 star because She did not ask what the cost associated with a procedure would be. My kids love coming here. My daughter just had 3 teeth pulled and it was amazing watching how patient these doctors are with the little ones. She was laughing on the way home in the car. I will never bring my child anywhere else unless this office closes.

My two kids have been going to the Lasky’s for about 10 years. ALL the dentists are wonderful! They are great with kids and do very good work.
They usually run on time, which is rare in the medical business.
In terms of the 1-​star review, it sounds like they advised putting sealant on the teeth. My kids also had sealent, which does a great job at preventing the molars from getting cavities. It is money well spent.

Dr. Lasky has been my kids dentist for 10 years. What a great dentist office overall. The absolute benchmark of a children’s dentist IMHO. My kids have no fear of going to the dentist. They make it such a good experience that my kids do not understand why people do not like to go to a dentist. There are several Dentists in this office, but they are all family and all wonderful. You will know right from the waiting room that you have found the right place. Good location right on Ventura Blvd with free parking in the back.

Dr. Lasky performed unnecessary work on my kids (coating their teeth), telling me it was «no big deal and really needed to be done» when I said I didn’t have dental insurance. Turns out it is an elective procedure than many dentists do not recommend. Neither of my kids had ever had cavities or any dental problems to warrant the coating. The bill was almost $ 400.

Dr. Lasky is the best. I won’t take my son, who has special needs, anywhere else. He is so kind and gentle, my son actually looks forward to going to the dentist (he even dressed like a dentist in his honor on Halloween)! He is not only an excellent dentist, he an equally good person.

Dr. Lasky must have financed at least a few vacations from my visits to his office. Given a bottle of juice before bed until my mother learned better, my teeth were a nightmare. I did not have a cavity-​free check up until I was 18 years old, had 4 unloose teeth pulled, at least as many crowns put on as I have fingers and got to the point where the sound of a drill pounding in my head was as natural as could be, so I’m not shitting around-​I was the greatest patient a dentist with children to put through college could ask for.
But Dr. Lasky was the greatest dentist I could have asked for. He was kind, attentive, and genuinely made visits to his office less agonizing than they typically are for sticky sweets loving children. I liked him, I liked my dentist! I also loved his dental hygienists, who were friendly, loyal assistants, and who remembered me throughout the years.
And while he was not by any means a bargain, my parents kept sending me to him because the work he did was high quality. After one attempt to take me to a more budget-​friendly dentist, where the work needed retouching and left us unhappy, it was back to Dr. Lasky, where I stayed until around 21 they hinted that perhaps I was ready for a big girl dentist now.
