Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I am so glad I found Dr. Kanter. She is incredibly competent and kind and I felt very well taken care of throughout the whole procedure. I had a root canal that had been causing me some inflammation and discomfort and was concerned I would need to have it pulled and replaced with an implant. After reviewing my scans, she let me know that the tooth could be saved and she retreated it using techniques and materials that were safe and compatible with my body. She made sure I was comfortable and pain-free throughout the full process and corrected errors that the original dentist who did the prior root canal had missed. I can't recommend her highly enough. If you have been told you need a root canal or are having any issues with a previous one you've done, definitely go see her!

Having many dental procedures has caused much fear and trepidation until now! On Wednesday, April 15, 2020, it was discovered that I had major bone loss and needed BONE GRAFTING, a TOOTH EXTRACTED under a crown and AMALGAM REMOVED, SURGERY to remove INFECTION, and STITCHES. A NEW TOOL (MEND TECHNOLOGY) used in my visit to Dr. Valerie Kanter made a monumental change to my response during the procedures and contributed to more rapid healing. The MEND TECHNOLOGY device was placed on my lower abdomen and neck prior to treatment. During ALL OF THE PROCEDURES, I was COMPLETELY RELAXED (that has NEVER HAPPENED IN PREVIOUS DENTISTRY); (wore the device home) MODERATE DISCOMFORT after novocaine wore off (HOWEVER, NEVER REQUIRING PAIN MEDICATION); wore it to bed (SLEPT COMFORTABLY through the night) and woke the NEXT MORNING with NO PAIN and only MINIMAL SWELLING & SOME SLIGHT TENDERNESS in the area; and generally FELT FINE THAT DAY.

Dr. Kanter will treat you like a valued member of her own family. She worked very hard to help me with a tooth I was very likely going to lose. She is incredibly kind and skilled and uses so many techniques and modalities that really clean out and disinfect canals that cannot be easily accessed with standard tools. She was willing to discuss options with me over a few different consults and she was willing to think outside of the box which likely saved my tooth. It was a somewhat complicated situation. You will not find a more thoughtful, considerate or proficient person or Endodontist. A big shout out to Starr and to the assistants who were with us during the procedures as well. It takes a group.

OMG. Where to begin. Dr Kanter identified serious issues in my mouth that neither my dentist of 12 years nor a leading oral Surgeon discovered. I finally feel that my dental health which means my overall health is in the hands of someone whom I can trust and have full confidence in. Hallelujah

I feel very lucky to have Dr Kanter as my Endodontist. She is a wonderful and caring doctor. Who takes time to get to know you as a complete person. She discussed my options for treatment in a way that allowed me to make an informed decision, explaining the procedure each step of the way. She is one of the best health providers in term of quality and work ethic. She takes pride in what she does, is a true professional. I appreciated her kindness. I would overall recommend Dr Kanter to anyone!

Dr Kanter is the best dentist I have ever been to. She diagnosed a problem root canal that had been done badly by another dentist 10 years ago and fixed it the same day. She is constantly looking for new methodologies to allow her patients quicker recovery times and less invasive treatments. I would highly recommend her to anyone in need of an Endodontist in the Los Angeles area.
