Richard Corn, DDS

I was refereed to doctor Corn through a friend who highly recommended him. I have to say he was extremely honest, helpful, knowledge and put his time and full care and attention to help me and consult me. He give me the cards of the specialist that I needed to see.
I highly recommended him as I’ve seen lots of dentist in the area and he is not like some of his colleagues look at patient as a walking money, he look at us as a person and patient. He is caring and a true credit to his profession.

Dr. Corn has been my dentist since 1992. I go to him regularly. He is respectful of my time, educates me on the condition and solutions to any problems with my teeth, and is the best hygenist on the planet!
His integrity and warm bedside manner is hard to match. In fact, very rare in today’s world of medicine and dentistry.
Everyone that I have recommended to Dr. Corn has been going to him for years as well.
You Rock Dr. Corn!!!

My teeth have never been so clean! His demeanor and attention to detail are just amazing!

The Nices, Kindessed, Most professional, hunest denist on the planet.
My family and I have been going to him for 15 years and he provided with exceptional care and treatment every time.
One in a million. They dont make them like this any more!
May god bless him and all whom he loves.

Dr. Corn is the MOST honest, kind, and reasonable dentist around. This combination is impossible to find. He is also conservative and very thorough.
No one else like him exists. This I am 100 percent certain of.

Dr;Richard Corn is one of the BEST Doctors in the world !
I am so Happy with his work !, I wont ever go to an other dentist.
He is my new dentist, I am very happy to find him’
Sincerely, Grace

I can’t recommend Dr Corn more! The only time I’ve ever left a dentist happy. He’s a total pro. He knows exactly what needs to be done and does it as quick and painless as possible. He’s the only dentist I would see now. Finding a good dentist is like finding an honest mechanic. Stick with this guy!

Honest and professional. I visited Doctor Richard for a routine checkup, he answered the phone himself and scheduled the appointment. All the process was handled very efficiently; since I try to take good care of my teeth, nothing was found and all I needed was cleaning.
Recently, we went through a bad experience with other doctors in our area, my wife needed some work and the dentists we visited wanted to do unnecessary work to overcharge us. My experience with Doctor Corn was very satisfactory.
I highly recommend Doctor Corn, I am lucky that I found him.

Beside being affordable, he is honest and kind.
My son and I had bad experiences and it never felt right, we were searching for someone that can make us feel safe and comfortable. He calls you personally to confirm your appointments. Professional, affordable and honest! Im so happy we have him as our dentist. My brother and his wife go to him as well. Now he is our family dentist. I highly recommend him!

I visited Dr. Corn’s office a few months ago, he was very professional and polite, he took a look at my x-​rays and gave me excellent advice. His prices are very reasonable and I would definitely recommend him to family and friends. I plan on seeing him again very soon.

I visited Dr. Corn because he was in network for me and very close to where I work. Before my first appointment, he called me personally to confirm. He also warned me that he doesn’t validate, but that the building has parking — helpful! This didn’t matter for me, as I was walking from my office.
I had an appointment first thing in the morning, and I arrived about 15 minutes early. No one was in yet, so I was waiting in the hallway for a few minutes before he arrived. No big deal, though. I came in, Dr. Corn gave me paperwork to fill out and I did so in the small waiting room. As others have mentioned, the facility is pretty simple — no elaborate bells and whistles — and I initially didn’t know how to feel about this, but in retrospect, who cares?
Dr. Corn led me after I had waited about 1 minute (I am so appreciative!) and went over my medical history with me (allergies, concerns, problem areas, etc.) He went straight to business by asking only exactly what he needed to know and then proceeding to do a cleaning himself. He would say, «Now I’m going to do this…» and then do it. No chit chat, no, «Where are you from? What do you do… «Now, I’ll admit, I’m a bit of a small talker so I do appreciate when dentists get to know me a little more. However, I honestly don’t have any complaints about Dr. Corn’s approach. I think he is very professional, very effective, and just gets straight to the point.
After my short appointment, he suggested I visit him again in 6 months, and walked me out to the waiting area. I was in and out in about half an hour. Very cool!
After my appointment, I told several people with whom I work about Dr. Corn. I think finding good health/​dental/​eye care providers in the LA area is so incredibly difficult, so I shared my thoughts on Dr. Corn with some of my colleagues, who have the same dental plan as I do.
About a week or two later, Dr. Corn sent me a hand-​written thank you note thanking me for my cooperation. Incredible. And even better: I had recommended Dr. Corn to some others, and after a colleague of mine visited Dr. Corn, I received ANOTHER handwritten note thanking me for referring him. What a guy.
Overall, I’m very happy with Dr. Corn and I highly recommend him to anyone looking for comprehensive, yet efficient, dental care.

My normal dentist couldn’t see me, so I was pleased that He could see me right away. He gave me a temporary fix and advised on next steps. He’s my new dentist!

My wife and I went on the same day to our first visits with Dr. Corn. After our visit we compared notes and found that he had given us each very different and personal directions about our oral health care. He even gave us different tooth brushes and tooth paste in our little care packages. For us, that’s about as impressive as it gets.
He made his own bookings and called us personally to confirm (not sure if that’s permanent or just temporary) and he got us in very quickly. He was in network for us and so our regular check-​up was free. The building location is quite convenient and we easily found meter parking right across the street.
My only comment is that if you’re looking for a fancy-​schmancy reception area and deluxe dental chair and care facility, this is probably not the place for you. It’s a business and it’s run that way. Plain and simple.

Dr Corn is one-​of-​a-​kind! very humble, professional and tzadik. I highly recommend to anyone who wants to see a good doctor not too pricey and someone you can trust to, go to Dr. corn. And even when I needed professional to do some work on my teeth he referred me to the best. I wish I had met him in earlier time in my life but I’m glad that I met him now.

Review # 2, after 3 years of seeing Dr. Corn as my primary dentist.
Dentists are by and large corrupt. They exaggerate small problems and try to frighten you into emptying your account on procedures you don’t really need. In this way, they’re like car mechanics with an expensive doctoral degree to whom you entrust a major part of your health and appearance. In such an absurdly corrupt profession, who gets 5-​star reviews on Unilocal?Three categories: (1) those who do it fraudulently, (2) those who kiss patients’ high-​maintenance asses, pampering them with music, movies, and complimentary Pellegrino, and (3) Dr. Richard Corn.
Dr. Corn is not going to give you Pellegrino and the entire series of Arrested Development. He is going to come to the waiting room, give you a somewhat unsatisfying greeting, and then put you in the chair and work on your damn teeth.
He’s going to give you the most amazing cleaning you’ve ever had. Personally. Because he doesn’t do the «staff» thing. It’s all Corn all the time in this office and there’s not going to be any small talk unless you instigate it (I don’t, and he’s happy to just work without chatting). If you need work done, he’s going to do it with the precision of a fine watchmaker or Michelangelo. Or maybe with the precision of Michelangelo making a watch. Whatever… it’s good work.
I suspect that because he’s not a social butterfly, some people leave his office feeling like they got «impersonal» service. Nothing could be farther from the truth. When you call his office, you talk to him. When he sends you a bill, it’s handwritten by him. When he works on your teeth, it’s perfectly tailored to your oral situation. And if he doesn’t feel comfortable doing something, he’ll refer you to a specialist rather than take the slightest chance of botching it.
On one occasion, my girlfriend (not a patient of his) visited a dentist for tooth pain and the dentist recommended pulling the tooth. I called Dr. Corn just to ask if that sounded right. He answered (because he doesn’t do the «receptionist» thing either) and then he proceeded to talk me through things over the phone. Of course he cautioned that he can’t recommend treatment without seeing her, but he also told me that based on what I described, the treatment being recommended sounded reasonable to him. Yep. That conversation actually happened, about someone who wasn’t even his patient.
That’s REAL personal service and I challenge you to find it anywhere else. As far as I’m concerned, all the dentists who smile and hug you and ask about your family are just investing in your trust so you’ll cough up the money when they think you need a «deep cleaning.»
Did I mention he probably has the lowest prices in Beverly Hills? And that he talks you out of work that isn’t necessary? Yeah… one time I asked him if he could whiten my teeth. He goes «Sure, I can do it, but for your teeth a box of White Strips is probably all you need.» Who does that?
Dr. Corn does, and that’s the difference between him and other «5-​star» dentists in L.A.

We love Dr. Corn. My whole family and many friends over the years have seen him regularly for over 20 years. We feel like he’s part of the family. He takes great care of our teeth and remembers problems we’ve had, he always follows up.

Soooooo scared to visit the dentist (it had been a few years). Thought there was going to be major work required.
Picked out Dr. Corn based on the fact that: 1) he was an in-​network provider; and 2) he had alot of positive reviews on Unilocal.
Rest assured, the reviews are all warranted. He is the man. Painless visit. All of my issues apparently can be resolved easily and inexpensively. As I left the office, there was a lady in the waiting room who had literally flown in from NYC to see him. Apparently she used to live out here and he was her dentist. She had to move to the east coast for work, but stil comes back out here, just for him.
Hey, if someone’s willing to fly 3,000 miles for a dental visit, that should tell you something about the quality of the dentist.

Kinda surprised at all the five-​star reviews here. Particularly the ones gushing about how nice Dr. Corn is.
To be fair, I may have caught him on a bad day, but I’ll relay my experience to hopefully flesh out a more complete picture than the five-​star reviews paint.
I have what I think may be a cracked tooth. I have reason to believe it is due to a filling given to me by my current dentist a few months ago that has resulted in occasional teeth grinding in my sleep.
I found Dr. Corn on Unilocal,and due to all the glowing reviews and his proximity to my apartment, I called him. I was a little surprised that he answered his own phone, but getting to talk to him actually helped me out a lot (hence the second star, which I’ll get to later).
I explained my situation and he informed me that he had availability in the middle of April. I thanked him, said that was fine, and I would call someone else.
He then said, «Well, what you could do is go back to your regular dentist and get it looked at and then come to me the next time.»
Um, OK. I should go to the dentist I suspect screwed up my tooth in the first place? That seems like… interesting advice.
I told him again, it’s not a big deal if he’s booked up, I’ll just check and see if someone else has availability.
He replied, «Well, the other dentist is responsible for his own work anyway. It’s not my job to fix his mistakes.»
Awesome attitude, Dr. Corn! Great bedside manner!
I get that he’s busy — and it sounds like other people seem to like him — but seriously, his response is, «Not my problem. I don’t want to help you.»?
Again, I fully understand that he’s not required to help a guy he’s never met before. I just figured he could at least pretend to care a little bit, regardless of whether I’m a current or future patient, right?
Anyway, my review breaks down to one star for service/​attitude and one star for being so rude and callous on the phone that I knew I didn’t want him putting sharp objects in my mouth, let alone to spend time in a room with him.

I’m surprised Dr. Corn doesn’t have more reviews. I found him on Unilocal and had him checked out by my company-​provided Health Advocate service, which made sure he was part of my dental insurance network and had an «active and clear license.»
The other Unilocal reviews are legit — he’s extremely nice and did everything himself, including scheduling my check-​up months in advance, checking me in, and conducting the entire exam + cleaning. He thoroughly answered my questions about teeth crowding and how often I needed to get x-​rays. He also gave me tips on how to brush my gums and sent me off with a free toothbrush, toothpaste, floss, and some Orbit gum, too.
I waited to see how much my dental insurance would cover and everything went through perfectly, with no out of pocket. He’s also very cost-​effective, only billing my insurance for nearly half of what my old dentist in Chicago charged me.
I just received a handwritten letter from him thanking me for being a customer, which I’ve never received from a healthcare professional before, so I felt compelled to write this review.
Will definitely be going back for my next check-​up!

Dr. Richard Corn has been my dentist for 17 years now, or so he tells me via his wife on Facebook. His loyal patients know that the good doctor has yet to succumb to the 21^st century distraction known as «the computer.» In fact, he has earned perfect 5-​star ratings on Unilocal!completely unaware of the site’s existence. I’m not sure he will even read this review. If he does become aware of it, I’ll bet it’s when Soheila is reading it to him right now.
I found Dr. Corn on a short list of ‘approved providers’ for my dental plan group when i was working at LACMA in the 90’s. Dr. Lawrence Brockman, my extremely cool endodontist in Beverly Hills, looked at the handful convenient to home and work and without hesitation said, «Go see Corn.»
One of the many reasons he has become my permanent dentist is that he always found a way to accept my insurance and help me manipulate their individual system to receive the best possible care at the lowest price possible. He even advised me once not to sign up for a paid dental plan because he estimated paying per visit would be more economical. I haven’t done any price shopping for dentists, but on my last visit to see him, I was in the chair for an hour; He replaced a lost filling; gave me a check up; and cleaned my teeth for a mere $ 60 cash! As usual, he sent me home with free samples of toothpaste, brushes, and floss. I felt like I should be tipping him!
He explains how he is able to keep his prices so reasonable with the simple good business truism, «keep a low overhead.» The office he shares with compatible colleague Dr. Maximilian Weinstein is run with no frills and low bills. They share an extremely pleasant, efficient, and good tempered receptionist and assistant, but I actually think only Max is paying her because Richard seems to do EVERYTHING in his medical office by himself!
If you call his office during business hours, he answers the phone himself. If he is with a patient, you get his voice mail and he’ll call you back by the end of the day. He schedules your appointments. He reschedules your flakes. When you arrive in the waiting room, he greets you within seconds and tell you the wait, if any.
Dentists commonly delegate the tedious tasks of their profession to office staff and the repetitive ones to dental hygienists and lab assistants: teeth cleanings; x-​rays; and anesthesia administration. Dr. Corn, on the other hand, is a one-​man band. Not only does he do all his own business management, advertising, and bookkeeping, in the entire time he has been treating me, the only time another person was involved was when a particular treatment absolutely required an extra pair of hands to be performed efficiently. Right now I can not even remember one.
A good example of Richard’s particular style of practicing dentistry was the first time my teeth required a procedure more complicated than a check-​up, cleaning, or filling. A front tooth had suffered injury and become unnaturally discolored. For the proscribed treatment of internal bleaching, he honestly advised me that he did not have much experience in this particular technique, and I might want to visit a specialist. He helped me find one that was both on my HMO and in my neighborhood.
But the story doesn’t end there. The ‘specialist’ did not want to take my insurance for the bleaching and tried to push me into getting a night guard! I went back to Dr. Corn and said I would rather have him do my tooth for the first time than some unknown hack for the hundredth time. We were both in our early thirties, grads of USC Schools of Dentistry and Cinema-​Television, and moving forward in our careers. I would be his practice patient and he would push the paperwork to fit my pocketbook.
Richard then went to work studying the latest medical journals on how the bleaching procedure was being done and put together a special mixture of ingredients based on his research. The result was smiles on both our faces. I have been loyal ever since.
I referred many friend to Dr. Corn back then who also still see him today. The one downside of his success for me is that I can’t always get an appointment the same week, or sometimes the same day like I could back in the day. Since I know he can only give me the earliest hole in a heavily booked calender, I do not mind a week or two wait.
So there you have it, my first Unilocal!review for an amazing doctor I can also call my friend. Now I hope he will be able to read this himself on that electronic computer internet thing before his newborn daughter!
