Dr. Slutsky currently works at the Dental Center of West Los Angeles. I asked Dr. Slutsky to look at 2 teeth that were causing me pain. X-rays showed nothing, and after a visual inspection, he said that he could see nothing that would cause me any symptoms. He said I should return if the pain persists. Three weeks later, the dental hygienist in his office was able to visually spot the cavities at the gumline that were responsible for my pain, and brought it to the attention of Dr. Slutsy, who appeared embarrassed. Three weeks later, when one of the large cavities that his associate filled became infected, Dr. Slutsky cut me open and drained the infection. He rubbed me so hard with an instrument when he forced the pus out that the searing pain made it difficult for me to get up and walk out. Worst of all, Dr. Slutsky's chair-side manners are so poor that he doesn't introduce himself or say hello. He has zero social skills and doesn't even attempt the usual niceties. He has an office person who explains all diagnoses and procedures to the patients for him. He corrects and reprimands his dental assistants, making it an uncomfortable atmosphere to be in. Never go to this dentist.
