Charles S Hand, DDS

There is nothing bad to say about Dr. Hand and the staff that work at his office. The care and detail to the health of your teeth is no less than expert, Huey who works the front desk is organized and kind. Parking is a breeze and Dr. Hand is so great. A billion stars!

Five stars barely begin to describe the combination of gratitude and good fortune that being a patient of Dr. Hand can generate. Any competent dentist can take care of teeth. Dr. Hand also cares for the whole person, and he demonstrates it in his administration of anesthetic, his continuing research on new techniques and in the admiration his staff shows for him.
Dr. Hand leads by example. May his lessons spread far and wide.

Dr Hand and his staff are the best! Huey, his front office manager, is wonderful. His hygienist is soft-​handed and very thorough. I’m not a very relaxed dental patient but the dentist and his staff are truly reassuring and patient. I would highly recommend this office!

I called Dr. Hand today because my son moved to West LA and is looking for a good dentist. I feel very comfortable referring my son after speaking with him. He took the time to explain the procedures he does for his patients, and all he does to help them keep healthy teeth without unnecessary dental procedures. He seems to really care about his patients as well.

Dr. Hand is simply the best. He clearly loves what he does and it shows…
I’ve had the occasion for a lot of dental work over the last 13 years that I’ve been seeing Dr. Hand, and he makes it a pleasure to go to the dentist.

Who wakes up in the morning and says, «YAY! I have a dentist appointment today!»?
I do.
Why? Because I have the best dentist on the planet and his name is Dr. Hand. Dr. Hand is not only talented, passionate, gentle, caring, and sensitive, but he is also talented, passionate, gentle, caring, and sensitive.
He takes so much pride and applies so much care in his work. He loves his profession and it manifests itself in how he lights up when you ask him questions about what’s going on during an appointment. He strives for perfection in not only his skills as a dentist, but for your comfort as a patient. You’ll never leave his office without feeling that you were given his utmost attention. He always calls the day after an appointment to check and make sure that you’re feeling ok or if you have any questions. He truly cares.
I’m also fond of the rest of his staff, Huey, Myra and Adriana. They are all wonderful. If you ever have any questions about scheduling or care for certain procedures, you can rely on Huey. She has been working with Dr. Hand for years and understands the ins and outs of dentistry. Myra is a great hygienist who is always gentle and thorough. Lastly, Adriana has a great synergy working with Dr. Hand on visits that require a longer appointment.
Dr. Hand is my dentist for life. He makes me want to go get cavities just so I can see him on a regular basis. ;)

I’ve been going to see Dr. Hand for 5+ years — he’s the best dentist I’ve ever had! He truly cares about his patients and their teeth. Definitely cannot recommend him enough!

A friend referred me to Dr. Hand and now I know why. I wish I could rate him with a 6^th star. Dr. Hand is the most informative, honest and caring dentist I have ever been to. Not only does he do a thorough examination, he educates you at the same time. And did you know that not all cavities have to be filled? Oh, and I’ve never had a dentist do an additional thorough mouth exam checking for any abnormalities other than my teeth/​gums until I met Dr. Hand.
He also referred me to an excellent oral surgeon to get my all 4 of my wisdom teeth removed. Dr. Hand even called the oral surgeon prior to my surgery to discuss what he found in my original exam. Who does that?
smart + honest + caring = my permanent dentist

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Hand for 8+ years now. He has such a broad range of skill and talent. He understands all aspects of dentistry. His approach has always been to show you what’s going on, draw, give examples, and discuss pros/​cons. He’s really pragmatic.
He also has a wide range of specialist referrals that he can send you to. The labs he chooses are great. His assistants are really talented as well.
Dr. Hand is such a friendly guy — a delight to visit. I always leave there feeling better.
Huey works the phones /​scheduling and definitely adds to the experience. She runs the show.
My one complaint is that their phone line blocks caller-​id when they call you. If you ask Huey nicely, she’ll unblock just for you. :-)

I have been going to Dr. Hand for over 25 years. I used to fear the dentist becasue I can’t stand sharp pains but he has an incredible touch and technique and now I don’t mind going at all. Even better than the lack of pain is Dr. Hand’s bedside manner. He is incredibly nice and seems genuinely interested in what is going on with my work and family. He and his staff are always very warm.
I have referred several friends and family members to him over the years and every one I have referred speaks glowingly of him and can’t thank me enough for the referral.

Dr. Hand is amazing! I have been his patient for more than 25 years and he never ceases to amaze me. He makes wonderful drawings to explain what he is doing and the effects that his procedures have on your long term dental heath. Now my two daughters also are his patients… he is thorough, contemporary, and very gentle.

After moving to Los Angeles from New York I needed a new dentist. I was referred to Dr. Hand.
Dr. Hand is very nice and very professional. He is really passionate about dentistry.
I am extremely sensitive to tooth pain and he triple checks to make sure I am completely numb before he starts drilling.
You can tell everyone enjoys what they do at the office. His dental assistant and receptionist are equally as friendly and they are always smiling.

I had a wonderful dentist for 20 years that was on Montana Avenue and he retired. OMG! (I thought) It’s so hard to find a dentist you are totally comfortable going to and extremely hard in Los Angeles. But I was referred to Dr. Hand and I am happy to say that he is the best dentist I have ever been to in my 50 years of on and off dental problems. I call him Happy Hands because he has the best and most caring approach to dentistry! He really loves the profession he has chosen. He explains things very thoroughly and even more amazing, he calls you after your appointment to see how you are feeling! In LA, that’s incredible. His receptionist and dental hygienist are wonderful and as upbeat as Dr. Hand. He’s the best, so if you are in search of a dentist you will keep until HE retires, he’s your man.
