PATIENT REVIEWS

I have been going here for several years now and I always feel very comfortable and welcomed when I have an appointment. Dr. Kalmanovich and his team are kind and professional. I have had to get a crown and a bridge, they worked with me on the process, from recommending the most important. I get regular cleanings and she always does a great job and is really friendly! I have never had any issues with my crown or my bridge, Dr. Kalmanovich is very skilled in his work and I would highly recommend him and his team!

Dr. Kalmanovich is the best dentist I have ever had (60 years). The technology he uses made my procedure generally painless, but also allowed me to get a great sense of what needed to be done. While my crown was being made on site, Dr. K. sat with me and showed me the “heat map” of the tooth and gum conditions he would need to address. Entire staff is incredibly professional. I owe my friend a nice dinner for referring me to Dr. K.

(…)Dr. Kalmanovich and his staff not only tried to put my unnecessary fears to rest, but they also made sure I was comfortable, happy and pain free during my appointments. The “bedside manner” of the entire office staff is second to none!

While I won’t be rushing back, I feel happy to know that I have a dentist who cares about not only my dental health, but also my comfort level. Dr. K and his staff are AWESOME and I will entrust all of my dental health needs to their skilled hands.

Going to the dentist was never my favorite , until I got introduced to Laguna Family Dentristry. I just love the people and environment . Everyone is always friendly and polite. The office is always super clean and fresh. Dr. Kalmanovich is the best in his field. He explained all procedures in detail so I was very comfortable trusting him with my teeth.
What a great experience !!!

(…)let me say that my current Dentist, Dr Kalmanovich is The BEST yet. The entire practice is top drawer and professional. The Doctor is current with the newest equipment and ability to make crowns in the office while you wait. The Hygienists are excellent and the overall office is clean and nice. I actually enjoy going to the Dentist.

Dr. Kalmanovich and his team are great. Cristina the hygienist is thorough and very gentle on the teeth.  I am normally squeamish about cleanings but she really does a wonderful job at cleaning carefully without discomfort.

Dr K is also amazing.  He has insight and provides sound diagnosis and is not eager to sell services.  He takes a very measured approach towards treatment, which made me feel like a patient not a potential dollar sign.  I never felt rushed out the door or that I asked too many questions.    He explains issues that arise very well and has gained my confidence.

I cannot say enough good things about this office. They really go above and beyond to make sure their patients are taken care of. From the front to the back, it was a pleasant experience. The Dr is well versed in sleep apnea (which my husband needs for his snoring!) and has state of the art technology. The hygienist is kind and gentle. The assistants are personable and fun. The whole office is amazing! Very impressed and will be a life time patient!

I just started coming to Dr. Kalmanovich’s office and I already love it. The whole staff is friendly and very welcoming! I’ve had a cleaning and a root canal so far. They did a great job at both 🙂
Alex created my crown right in front of me at the office on a computer and it was pretty cool to watch because I’ve never seen that… and it was ready pretty much right when he finished creating it.
I’d recommend him to anyone who’s trying to find an honest and trusting dentist!!

Dr Kalmanovich came highly recommended from a friend that works in a business where he has access to a number of dr and dentists and their background. That was the initial reason I called and made the appt.

I continue to see him and his entire office because of their superior dental work and highly organized and quick responding front desk. It’s easy to put off the dentist… and yet you wear your smile everyday so it’s important to take care of your teeth. I’ve had consistently GREAT experiences every-time I visit.

Thank you Alex & Team!

Dr. K and his staff (Gina, Tatiana, and Christina) are amazing! They are so friendly and make me feel very comfortable every time I’m there. They also build a relationship with you and have a family approach which is very different than any dentist I’ve ever been too. I absolutely hate getting shots and Dr. K does such an amazing job that I didn’t even feel the shots one bit! He is also very informative and makes sure you understand exactly what’s going to be done or what may need to be done in the future. Thumbs up to all of you at Laguna Family Dentistry! See you for my next cleaning!

Dr. Kalmanovich is by far the best dentist I’ve ever been to. I’ve been going to him for four years now and he is always genuinely friendly and does not make the dental process seem intimidating at all. He is very knowledgeable about new cutting-edge technologies which is quite impressive. He is able to make fillings or crowns right there on the spot so you don’t have to come back to the office afterwards which is very convenient! Also, he does not try to perform unnecessary procedures. I came in with a painful toothache which might have needed a crown but instead he thought that a deep filling would work and after a few years of having it I have no pain and no additional procedures were required.
I feel lucky to have found Dr. Kalmanovich and his staff. Gina at the front desk is always so friendly, welcoming, and accommodating to my schedule and I love seeing Stephanie the dental hygienist. She does a very thorough cleaning and explains the cleaning process well.
I no longer mind going to the dentist and highly recommend Dr. Kalmanovich!

Had my teeth whitened at Laguna Family Dentistry and could not be happier with my experience. From my first visit, the entire team I interacted with were all kind, friendly and knowledgeable. My teeth are now white and look better than ever, thanks Dr. Alex!

(Doctor) Kalmanovich was recommended to me by a friend when I first moved to California, and it was a great recommendation!  Not only does he make sure that he does his work quickly and competently, he is not afraid to have you come back again if you need to get things readjusted, which is great for peace of mind.  Additionally, his office is clean, convenient, and the rest of the staff there is super friendly and know what they are doing.  The little water bottle in the waiting room are the cherry on top.  I would highly recommend him to anyone!

Before finding Laguna Family Dentistry I used to have a terrible fear of dentists/dental appointments, but since finding Dr. Kalmanovich and his amazing team, that fear has disappeared.
Dr. Kalmanovich and his staff explain everything in detail, so as a patient I feel informed and confident in the work and treatment plans we put together as a team.
I am so happy to have found Laguna Family Dentistry. From the moment Alison greets you, until you leave the office it’s a very pleasant experience and that makes the world of difference.
My greatest thanks to everyone at LFD!!

I am very please with the care I received with Laguna Family Dentistry. I am a new patient and was welcomed very warmly on my arrival. The reception area was very clean and inviting giving a very calming atmosphere. Front desk reception in signing in and filling out medical information was one of the easiest I have ever done, it was well organize and simple to fill out. When called into a room I had a beautifully large window to gaze out on, making it even more easier to relax. All the staff was more than helpful to make sure that I was comfortable. Dr. Kalmanovich is very professional and up to date with current dental practices. His bedside manner made me feel my dental care was in very good hands. I will definitely be returning. One of the best dental experiences I have ever had.

We have been visiting Laguna for the summer. I was involved in a little accident and chipped a veneer. I did a quick Google search and found this amazing office! They were able to get me in right away and Dr. Kalmanovich was able to make a new crown for me the same day in the office. I even had a wonderful cleaning while I was there and the doctor called to check on me afterwards. If you have to go to the dentist, this is the office to go to! Everyone was just so lovely!!!

Dr. Kalmanovich and his staff are friendly, extremely knowledgeable and caring. I have had a new crown put in and have had my teeth cleaned numerous times in the past couple of years since Dr. Kalmanovich acquired (previous owner’s) practice. Everyone here has gone the extra mile to be sure that I am comfortable and I understand everything I need to know about the procedure being done at the time. I highly recommend this dentist and his staff. They’re wonderful!!

I was new to Laguna Beach and was looking for a really good dentist. I’ll be totally honest, I needed a lot of work done.  My first appointment was great. Dr. Kalmanovich was very personal, professional and engaging. He was detailed oriented and quite specific on what I needed to do in order to achieve my dental goals.  He listened and gave me various options, all the while, taking into consideration my dental health as well as my cosmetic goals. So far I am extremely happy with what work has been done, and look forward to achieving the dental plan we’ve designed to be completed. If anyone is looking for a really good dentist, please give Dr. Kalmanovich a call.

Dr. Kalmanovich and his staff are fantastic.
They are so welcoming and attentive to your needs. I came in for a dental device for sleep apnea. I’ve been using the device for about six weeks and my sleep is the best it’s been in years. No snoring and more energy during the day. I highly recommend Laguna Family Dentistry!

This is a great Dental Office!  I am a former Dental Assistant so very particular about who I trust inside my mouth. But I have found a professional with modern equipment, technique and attitude.  Dr K needed to redo an old crown of mine and he was able to do the prep, make the crown in the office and cement it all in one appointment. No temporary and waiting weeks for a dental lab to produce the crown then appointment to have it cemented. Nope!  Not anymore. One simple appointment. NICE!!  And the crown fits perfectly w no issues.  
The Hygienist was great!  Office staff professional. Super happy with this Dental Office and highly recommend …..  Easy free parking to!!

Best fitting crown I’ve ever had. Alex said I may experience pain and or swelling after the novacaine wore off. I had no pain or swelling. I’ve taken my 85 year old Mother to him as well. She had 3 crowns put in at one visit. He was also able to adjust a partial that another Dentist did who could not adjust it properly for her. We both highly recommend Dr. Alex Kalmanovich… 😉

(…)I’m probably one of the few who really enjoy getting my teeth professionally cleaned, and the dental hygienist was amazing. It was the first time I was educated about how to floss my teeth, as I think its something presumptively everyone knows to do well, but I learned I may not be following my teeth well enough with my floss. Its not just getting it on between the teeth and move around, but to follow the architecture of my teeth effectively into the gum lines in removing deposits of food and any possible build up. She asked as she was scraping my teeth, “do u use a manual or electric toothbrush?” I told her electric, but after she told me the angle to hold the brush and how to navigate it around my mouth, it dawned on my that even with the electric brush, I may possibly have been using it incorrectly. I think I may have been moving it around like a regular toothbrush rather than moving it so it clean on its own. The “simple” things that may not be so simple!

I left my appointment feeling my mouth so clean. I was impressively happy with the service and highly recommend Dr. Kalmanovich practice. If you are looking for a respectable and reliable doctor who honors your time and most importantly, your health, you must see Dr Kalmanovich.(…)

Probably the best dental experience I’ve ever had. Thorough. Very friendly. Efficient with their time. I was in for just a routine cleaning and x-rays, but from the beginning at the front desk to finishing, everyone was Top Notch. I would absolutely recommend them. In fact I did that same day as my cleaning.

Dr. Kalmanovich has been my dentist for several years now and I would definitely rate him five stars for his professionalism, quality of work, pleasant and easy manner, as well as a professional and congenial staff.  I recently had a crown replaced, and the whole procedure was done in one office visit, because he made the crown right on the spot.  Easy breezy!  Not many dentists do this.  He makes seeing the dentist (almost) a pleasure!

I have been with Laguna Family Dentistry for a few years now and my experience has been wonderful. Dr. Kalmanovich is a great dentist and always makes an appointment comfortable and personable, as does his colleagues Dr. Jade and Dr. Selena who helped me with my cleaning today. They are quick and efficient while also taking the time to connect with their patients, making a trip to the dentist also a fun chat with a friend! I highly recommend this dental office–it’s sure to make you smile! 🙂

Was a bit worried choosing a new dentist but when I walked in, Gina at the front gave me a very welcoming smile and knew who I was since I had scheduled an appointment. I got text and email reminders about my appointment so that was very helpful. The office is very clean, modern, and up to date with technology! Dr. Kalmanovich really took his time with me and didn’t just rush to the next patient. I had 1 cavity that he even showed me with a tiny camera on the monitor! He and the staff were amazing, loved the visit. I’m glad I found a new dentist that I can trust with my teeth and my family will be coming shortly as well.

I use to hate to come to the dentist because of bad experiences with other dentist but as crazy as it sounds, I look forward to my appointments now. I would recommend anyone looking for a great dentist to come here. 🙂

As a person who generally gets anxious having dental work (due to a long history of braces, oral surgery, etc) I was pleasantly surprised by Dr. K’s office, staff, technique and overall experience. He uses the latest technology, is very thorough and his whole hygienist staff is fantastic. Hoping to stick around in the area so I can make this my go to office!

Wonderful experience. I visited Dr. Kalmanovich for the first time, thanks to a friend’s recommendation. The office itself is incredibly charming.  The receptionist at the front desk was very friendly, as were the rest of the staff.  Dr. Alex was incredibly thorough and professional. He really took the time and went over all aspect of my dental care. A rare thing these days. Would definitely recommend to other.

Dr. Kalmanovich is amazing! I took my 1 year old son there for his first check up and cleaning and Dr K. was so patient, kind, sweet and gentle with my son. He explained everything to me before he did anything. The first visit wasn’t much, more so to get my son comfortable with the new environment and the staff and my son was a bit shy and nervous understandably but I think he did warm up to Dr. K and the staff by the end. The staff was wonderful and let my son hold the cleaning tool himself and allowed him to put it in his mouth on his own. So he did get a bit of cleaning his first visit, you really can’t get much better than that. Gina, the office manager was such a sweet heart. So friendly and easy to talk to and really cared about my son’s comfort level. Over all I think my son had a great first dental visit experience and this will provide the foundation he needs to keep up his dental health care as he grows up and not “hate” the dentist. I LOVE this place, it’s cute, quaint, nicely decorated with such an awesome staff. I’d recommend Dr. K to anyone and everyone! Can’t wait to go back for my own appointment next month!

Dr. Kalmanovich was recommended to me by a few friends, and I’m very grateful for their recommendation. He and his staff are so nice! I was extremely nervous for my first visit as I hadn’t seen a dentist in over a decade (yes, really) and felt very embarrassed by my teeth. Everyone in the office was so incredibly friendly and reassuring that I quickly felt at ease. I’ve since gone back for a crown, and I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out. He even called me a few hours after to make sure I was feeling okay! If you’re putting off seeing a dentist out of embarrassment, fear, etc., go see Dr. Kalmanovich and his awesome staff. You really won’t regret it!

Dr. Alex Kalmanovich is a wonderful doctor with a very kind demeanor and great bedside manners. The entire staff is super friendly and they make you feel welcomed every time. Super clean office as well (I should know, since I do OSHA compliance for a living). I will highly recommend this office to friends and family.

Great! Entire office staff very attentive, from beginning to end; from office manager, to hygienist, to assistant, and last, but not the least, Dr. Kalmanovich. I will definitely refer friends and family to this dental office!

Wow Dr. Alex and his team were extremely impressive and didn’t miss a beat. They were so much more thorough then any dentist I have gone to in my 42 years. They even checked for cancer in my mouth with a specialized light. So glad I made the switch. I’m going to recommend everyone I know to do the same.

Our whole family loves Dr. Kalmanovich!  We have been going to him for about 3 years now and have been very pleased.  Even my 4 year old daughter loves going to the dentist.  They make you feel very comfortable and are gentle during cleaning. Would highly recommend Dr. Kalmanovich!

The best dental office! The whole experience at the office was quick and easy. The staff is so friendly and responsive! Dr. Kalmanovich is very knowledgeable, honest and skilled! I am going back on Friday and honestly, I am excited! (I didn’t think I could ever say that about going to the dentist!)
