Rachel Marmor, DMD

Great staff. Great office. Modern, efficient, warm.
My new favorite dentist

Dr Marmor is fantastic!!! So fantastic that this is my first Unilocal review but had to share. She is extremely knowledgeable and confident with her work but also has the bed side manners to put you at ease. I’ve never had my dentist appt’s be so relaxing and even enjoyable! I was a bit nervous as I tend to get but she is gentle and yet somehow quick. She knows her stuff, is personable and professional and seriously a pleasure to be around. I felt in great hands in every way and would never go to anyone else.

Here is yet another glowing review of Dr. Marmor. Her practice is state of the art, she’s intelligent, witty, and spent the entire visit with me. She didn’t rush in and out like most dentists do, and spent a lot of time asking and answering questions. Also, she’s super funny, and she’s not the kind of dentist who is going to make you feel like a pariah if you don’t floss enough. She offers good advice and is very matter of fact. I trust her a lot.
I will never go anywhere else. Dr. Marmor is a treasure.

Hands down the best dentist I’ve ever had. Dr Marmor is the first dentist I’ve ever had who spent time with me and did my actual cleaning. I’m accustomed to having a hygenist clean my teeth and then the dentist will spend — maybe — two to three minutes with me. Dr Marmor was there the entire time, she did all the work herself and took the time to discuss some of the issues she found and options for dealing with them. She was extremely friendly, funny and has a great bedside manner. Her practice is state of the art, modern and located in a beautiful part of town. The experience with the staff was top notch as well and I was treated with «white gloves» the entire time. It’s so refreshing to actually have such a pleasant and positive experience at a dentist. I never need go anywhere else. I wish all medical professionals were this good. I highly recommend Dr Marmor and her practice.

Dr. Marmor is the BEST.
I never loved going to the dentist before I met her but she really does make each visit a pleasure. Not only do my teeth look and feel amazing after a visit, but she is so warm, and calming, and just generally awesome.
I tend to get anxious at the dentist and she is so patient, and really takes the time to answer all of my nervous questions.
I guess the most important thing (other than her awesomeness) is how well my teeth have been doing since I’ve been in her care. I used to get frequent cavities but haven’t had a a single one since I’ve met her. I feel extremely fortunate that I (and my teeth) met her!

I’m terrified of the dentist’s office, but Dr. Marmor is the best. She puts me completely at ease, makes sure to explain everything she is doing, and never talks down or yells at me for my forgetful flossing habit. Dr. Marmor handled removing my wisdom teeth as well as crowning a cracked molar (two potentially traumatizing experiences) and I have nothing but positive things to say about both procedures. She followed up with calls and texts to make sure I was feeling okay and handling post-​op recovery. Can’t recommend her enough.

This is my first official Unilocal review. After having, quite literally, the most wonderful dentist visit of my life, I felt compelled to write a review of Dr. Marmor so that others might check her out.
I realize this all might sound a little maudlin, but think of it like an abused dog being shown affection for the first time, of how profound that experience must be. You see, I’ve always despised going to the dentist, and for good reason: tooth infections, pain, damaged gums, etc. Never once have I had a positive experience at the dentist.
That all changed when I went in to see Dr. Marmor. Alright, enough with the syrupy stuff, on to the nitty gritty:
BEDSIDE MANOR: ⁵⁄₅ Dr. Marmor is a delight to be around. If she weren’t such a great dentist, she’d make a wonderful therapist. Seriously. I love her sense of humor as well. She’s spunky, kind, witty, and loves to laugh. It’s impossible not to like her.
THOROUGHNESS: ⁵⁄₅ Dr. Marmor is extremely thorough, but has a gentle touch. I had some stubborn calcium deposits along my gum line, and she made sure to remove all of the foreign material, but was careful not to injure or abrade any of the surrounding tissue.
OFFICE CLEANLINESS: ⁵⁄₅ You could eat off of the floor. Seriously. It’s that clean. I was gobsmacked.
DENTAL ASSISTANTS/​SECRETARY: ⁵⁄₅ Everyone is amazing. I’m sure Dr. Marmor handpicked each and every staff member. I was especially impressed by her dental assistants.
In case anyone is wondering, here is a list of procedures Dr. Marmor performed for me:
— Cleaning
— X-​Rays
— Zoom Whitening
— Bonding
To reiterate, I couldn’t be happier with the results. My smile is amazing, and I no longer fear visiting the dentist. Dr. Marmor is a complete rockstar. Do yourself a favor: if you’re on the fence, go see her. You can thank me later.

I’m a long time Unilocal lurker but never had an official account or wrote any reviews. After a visit to Dr. Marmor’s office I decided to sign up for one so I could give her office the proper 5-​star review it deserves!
I recently got a new dental plan and found Dr. Marmor on the plan’s iphone app. Her office on San Vicente is close to where I live and personally I’m more comfortable with a female doctor. I called and the front desk lady was super nice, told me Dr. Marmor was out of town till later that week, and according to her, Dr. M is only at this location on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I was able to get an appointment that same week for a cleaning and overall check-​up. They also checked with me on the phone to see if there’s any specific dental problems that were bothering me, and (I guess) added notes to my appointment.
The day of my appointment, I went in and the front desk lady was already expecting me, asked me to fill out a new patient form, and I was greeted by Dr. Marmor very soon after that. She is really nice and easy-​going in person, which calmed me right away since I hadn’t seen a dentist IN YEARS and was really nervous about this appointment. She checked my problem area first and comforted me that things were not as bad as I thought, and I could totally wait till after my pregnancy to have it taken care of. She didn’t push me to get any extra work done, but also expressed her willingness to accommodate my needs if, I insisted on getting it taken care of right away.
After deciding to wait it out, she went ahead with my cleaning. Let’s be honest, since it had been so long since my last cleaning, I knew what I was getting myself into going in. It was just not going to be a pleasant experience. But Dr. Marmor moved really fast and was talking to me most of the time to keep me relaxed, like telling me what she was doing, and chatting with me about my dental hygiene routine. She didn’t judge me and instead just showed me how certain things should be done. Before I left Dr. Marmor and her front desk staff also encouraged me to schedule my next cleaning since I get an extra complimentary service with my insurance when pregnant. I left her office clean, worry-​free, and not in pain at all!
Overall it was the best dentist experience I’ve ever had. Great doctor and very friendly and courteous office staff. I for one will not be dreading my next dentist appointment for sure! :)

Here’s the deal, Dr. Marmor is the perfect dentist in pretty much every way — she’s gentle (but gets the job done), friendly (but doesn’t ask you about your ex-​boyfriend while your mouth is pried open), thorough (but doesn’t pressure you into extra work/​services), smart (but speaks to you in a respectful and straightforward tone), and funny (but not hokey).
And the best part — no judging when you’re a bit off your personal dental game — gone are the days of my well-​built foundation of lies around flossing twice daily and wearing nightguards without interruption. She won’t judge you, people. She’ll keep your dirty little oral secrets, all while making your pearly whites look their pearliest white.
Her office staff is easy to deal with and location is a breeze.
5 ½ stars.

I was referred to Dr. Marmor a few weeks ago by a close friend who had nothing but good things to say about his dentist.
I made an appointment on a Wednesday and got in that same Friday, Margaret who was in contact with me was very helpful in making the time work for me.
My purpose was to have my wisdom teeth examined as I was ready to have them out!
I filled out paperwork and was taken in right away. The office is clean, minimal and very relaxing. That day I had a couple cavities filled and made an appointment for the next week to have my wisdom teeth removed.
I had a great experience both times and was in and out much quicker than I had ever expected. Dr. Marmor is extremely knowledgable and makes you feel very comfortable. I will refer her to anyone I know.

Going to your dentist is supposed to be scary, right? That couldn’t be farther from the truth with Dr. Marmor. I initially went to her because the location was right by my work, but I continue to go back because she is soothing (as well as entertaining). I’ve gone from a cleaning every two years to three cleanings and have recommended her to all of my friends. I had four prior dentists in LA and am happy to finally have my One.

I’ve lived in LA for 3 years and never found a dentist I loved until Dr. Marmor. I happened to meet her socially, got her card, and a few months later went to see her after a particularly bad bout of TMJ. She got me right in to see her and was extremely helpful, kind, and professional. A week later, I went to see her for a cleaning and she was literally wonderful. Can’t say enough nice things about her! Glad I finally found my dentist! :)
