Michael L Kleinman, DDS

Dr Kleinman gets this family’s 5-​star recommendation without hesitation! My 8-​yr-​old daughter and 4-​yr-​old son are his patients, and we have been with him for 2 years.
I have such trust in him. His demeanor is so perfect for children, and everything about his approach is genuine and gentle. He explains thoroughly, such that I always feel my concerns and questions are addressed.
Dr Kleinman recently moved his primary office from BH to SM. We would follow him anywhere. When my daughter walked into the new office, she was nervous that she wasn’t seeing Dr Kleinman, because she loves him as much as I do!
I also really put my faith in his advice on referrals to other experts or tendencies in treatment with children generally.
We will be his patients as long as he’ll have us.

My son visited Dr. Kleinman this morning for teeth-​cleaning. Dr. K. is always so patient, friendly, and kid-​goofy (which makes it so easy for the patient to warm up to him)! He really believes in positive reinforcement when it comes to encouraging good dental health. We’re so lucky he’s right here in our neighborhood, just 3 blocks away! In other words, Dr. K. is AWESOME!!!

I took 3 of my 4 kids to Dr. Kleinman yesterday and we couldn’t have had a more wonderful experience! It was our first visit there and it was such a pleasant surprise. My oldest son is 7, so he has been going to the dentist for some years. Nonetheless, this was a new dental experience for him and everyone made him feel comfortable and relaxed. My twins, who are both 3, have never visited a dentist, so this was their first experience. They loved it! The staff made them feel comfortable and the way everything was set up, including TVs to watch and distract, was just perfect. Even the waiting room was fun experience with a beautiful aquarium and fun toys to play with. Dr. Kleinman was thorough with his exams and took ample time to explain things to me, as two of my three children have «dental issues.» He was warm, thoughtful and very professional. We look forward to our next visit and no doubt, my nine-​month old baby will be excited when it is his turn to visit the dentist.

My son — who is a regular patient at Westside Pediatric Dental Group — complained for the past two days that his jaw hurt. When he couldn’t make it through school, we knew it was time to see the doctor. Dr. Kleinman, who has treated my daughter, squeezed us in on short notice and calmly and methodically diagnosed the ouchie that ailed my seven-​year-​old. Then he promptly fixed it by prescribing an antibiotic for the minor, but irritating and painful, infection that has snuck in under the gum where my kid’s molar is about to come in. No matter which professional we see at this practice — whether it’s a hygienist or doctor — we are always pleased with the care.

I really like Dr Kleinman– He’s so personable, very sweet with the kids, makes them feel good about taking care of their teeth, and is building a generation of kids who won’t dread going to the dentist! My kids (15 and 12) are happy to have their appointments with him, and I’m happy that they are getting such excellent care!

Dr. Kleinman (aka Dr. Mike) is amazing. I’m not someone who frequently writes on Unilocal,but he’s one of those people who’s so great you just want to tell everyone. My sons feel completely comfortable with him and his staff — when their last appointments came up, they literally woke up saying, «Yay! We get to go to the dentist today!!» He is kind, gentle, patient, and caring. I’m going to stop gushing before I verge on sounding insincere, but I could not be happier with our experiences there.

First time taking kids to the dentist. Great experience! Lovely staff, technicians, and Dr. Mike has a way with kids. Too bad he doesn’t work on adults!

Dr. Kleinman is so wonderful with kids! He’s so sweet and patient with our daughter. He uses positive reinforcement to help my daughter stop using her pacifier. I also like the fact that the last 3 times I brought my daughter in for an emergency appointment, he doesn’t order any X-​rays right away unless he really thinks he needs them. I love the staff, the office is clean and very kid-​friendly. I definitely would recommend Dr. Kleinman and his staff at the Beverly Hills office.

We are regular patients of Dr. Kleinman. We stopped in today to have him check a baby molar in my son’s mouth that is hanging on in a crazy sideways direction. Dr. Kleinman made time to squeeze us in, checked my son, taught him how to work on further loosening the tooth so that it will fall out, and gave my son a deadline by which he has to get it out before he will have to have it pulled. My son left feeling in charge of the situation. Dr. Kleinman did not charge us for the visit. WE LOVE DR. KLEINMAN!

Never have I been so impressed by anyone interacting with my child. My 2 year old who wants to do everything by herself and who is practicing yelling, «no!» literally became an angel in the hands of the dental assistant and the dentist. They took the time to explain everything to her and it was amazing. I’d recommend them to anyone and of course I’ll be going back.

Michael Kleinman is a fantastic pediatric dentist. My daughters look forward to going to his office. It is easy to schedule appointments, he is thorough, incredibly kind and great with kids. I always get great follow up from him if I can’t attend the appointments with my daughters. I highly recommend him.

I would highly recommend Dr Kleinman. My 6 year old daughter had 3 cavities filled and the process was smooth and easy. I have been equally pleased with the dental cleanings we have had in the past… and with Dr Kleinman’s great bedside manner. I was happily surprised to receive a text tonight from him, inquiring how my daughter was doing after having her teeth filled! This kind of attention and care is rare these days… but so appreciated. Just know if you brings your kids to Dr Kleinman… they will be in good hands.

My sons first dental appointment and Dr Kleinman was great! My son is 22 months and he was so patient with a fussy toddler! He was so informative and answered every question and beyond. We will definitely being going to him from this point on, couldn’t be happier.

I brought my 18 month old for her visit a few weeks back and I was amazed at how smooth the whole process was! From the moment I called they walked me (a nervous first time mom) through what to expect and how to fill out the paperwork. On the morning of the appointment we arrived at the office a few minutes early and my daughter loved playing with all the great toys in the reception room. During the appointment Dr. Kleinman talked to me about proper care of childrens teeth and how to keep them healthy. Overall it was a great appointment and I would definitely recommend him to others!

Dr. Kleinman is great with our twins. They are not even 2 ½ years old, and we’ve had two appointments with Dr. Kleinman already. I must say that he is very patient with them, as they are not too keen on getting their teeth cleaned or inspected. I feel very confident and reassured having Dr. Kleinman as their dentist. He explains what he is doing, lets me know his findings as he sees them, and encourages questions. I can’t recommend him any more highly and am so glad that he is part of our children’s well-​being plan. And to top it off, every visit they get a really cool toy of their choice! Thanks, Dr. Kleinman. Look forward to seeing you in 6 months!

Dr. Kleinman is wonderful. He has a kind, gentle, informative manner with his patients and takes time to explain whatever the parents need to understand. His hygienists are equally as good. It is truly easy to take my children to visit this dentist.

As a first time mom, I was unsure about taking my one year-​old to the dentist but we learned so much from Dr. Kleinman. His bedside manner is calm and thorough, and he has a terrific way with children. The friendly staff is also on the ball and the office is designed for kids to enjoy their time at the dentist. Highly recommend.

What a great doctor. Very professional, detail oriented, and did his best to lesser the pain on our 11 years old. Procedure was painless and over in no time, and our son never felt better. Highly recommend !!

Dr Kleinman is thorough and knowledgable about dentistry and clearly loves what her does. He is fantastic with kids. He magically gets my little one to sit still and engages my older child. I would highly recommend this office and this dentist.

Dr. Kleiman is an amazing pediatric dentist! He made me, as a first time mom and someone who doesn’t look forward to going to the dentist herself, very comfortable. My daughter’s teeth shone and more importantly so did her smile; Dr. Kleinman knows how to speak to kids and make them comfortable as well. Can’t wait to go back for a checkup!
