Frank De Czito, DDS

job was rushed. I would never go there again.

He runs on time and is a straight shooter. No fuss! In and out, no time to get nervous… lol! My new dentist!

The teeth cleaning took 5 minutes. Seriously, 5 minutes. He has no dental hygienists, and I don’t think it’s because he loves to clean teeth. I think it is because he is just super cheap. My teeth felt like they had stuff stuck between them when I left. I definitely will never go back again. You shouldn’t go either. The whole thing kind of seemed like a scam.

Dr. De Czito has been my dentist for over 8 years. After a few bad experiences with other dental practices in LA, my husband and I are glad we have a dentist we can trust and rely on. Dr. De Czito is very down-​to-​earth, friendly, and most importantly, as another reviewer said, no BS!
He doesn’t try to up-​sell you, and when some unusual work needs to be done he takes the time to explain it all. The office is clean and calm. We have never had trouble getting appointments, and the admin staff are also very easy to work with. I really appreciate being treated like a person, not just another patient they’re trying to rush through their practice.
Highly, highly recommended!!!

Looking for a dentist during a tooth emergency… SAVE YOURSELF THE TROUBLE AND FIND SOMEONE ELSE!!! Instead of relieving the pain, working and/​or dealing with this appointment left me with more issues than what I started out with. Here’s how it all happened.
I called early in the morning to try and make an appointment via the number listed on Unilocal.To my surprise, if patients had an emergency, they could try calling a special phone line to receive immediate attention, as stated «within the hour.» I went ahead and left messages on both lines hoping, as a precaution, someone would get back to me ASAP. But, even then, that didn’t get me any help. Two hours later, when the doctors office finally opened, I received a call from front desk notifying me that they got my message. They kindly informed me that they would be happy to see me… in maybe about 3 more hours. (yes people, that is about 5 hours since my initial morning call.) So, I took the appointment and sucked up the pain for a bit. Then, just when I thought the wait was over, I found myself outside a locked/​closed office… REALLY? WHERE IS EVERYONE???
I waited outside the office doors (and knocked) for close to an hour for someone to finally open up the doors. When I saw that didn’t help, left numerous messages, but, still no one picked up. When my metered parking ran out and still no doctor in sight, I ended up deciding to drive back home. After all, I wasn’t going to wait all day for these guys. WHO’S TO SAY THEY’D EVEN COME BACK TO THE OFFICE.
When I got home, I tried calling again to figure out what happened… and unfortunately when I reached the dentist, he seemed short tempered with me? ARE YOU SERIOUS? All I was thinking was, «HEY, DONT GET MAD AT ME BECAUSE YOU WERE THE NO SHOW TO MY EMERGENCY APPOINTMENT!.» The doctor then gave me an alternative appointment time, which ended up being postponed for two additional hours past my initial appointment. Keep in mind, this is 7 hours since my initial call.
I drove back to the office and hey, guess what, the office doors were finally open. I waited a few minutes and the was called back to be seen by the doctor. He took care of the problem and sent me on my way. too bad he forgot to prescribe me pain pills. thanks, alot dude. I paid my bill and left and all I could think is, I hope I never have to go through this again.
***Note: if I could give 0 stars, I really would have****

Going to the dentist is never really a fun experience. in fact when I was little I threatened to open the car door on the way to one of my dental checkups. Dr. DeCzito is a wonderful, caring, and compassionate dentist. He is personable and enjoys talking to his patients. He may be a little more aggressive in his teeth cleaning but I have never found it «painful» (and I am a HUGE wimp). He is reasonably priced, conservative in his approach, and has no BS.
SIDE NOTE: i really never cared much about the aesthetic side of an office. His office may be «bare» (as another Unilocal-​er pointed out but it doesnt bother me) but it is clean, the music is soothing, and he does not keep you waiting. No complaints.

I love Dr. De Czito and his entire family practice. My mother and I have been seeing him for over 15 years. Now my husband sees him too. They are friendly, warm, honest and professional. Dr. DC will save you money and not make recommendations you don’t need. You can always bet its Dr. De Czito who will personally see you and not some new face. Their practice has an old fashioned type of feel in a caring, good way which is a refreshing change in a city with it’s share of $ focused dentists/​doctors. Here you have a small, friendly practice who are reliable, thorough, honest and delightful, ensuring proper care for our family. Thanks Dr. De Czito!

dr deczito is a wonderful dentist. he, instead of his hygienist, does the cleaning. it’s a bit rough because he really gets everything clean, but so worth it. if you don’t have insurance they have something called like the 50 – 50 plan where you pay a one time flat fee of $ 50, then you get deeply discounted cleanings and checkups. at that rate you don’t even need insurance. yes the office is bare and no-​frills, but i don’t care about any of that. dr deczito is an amazing dentist and even spotted a cavity before the x-​ray that my previous dentist had missed.

Dr. De Czito is definitely a good dentist. He is friendly, caring, and helpful. I chipped away two of my teeth, and he was able to put in some veneers. I’ve had no problems every since. The only problem is that his receptionist constantly overcharges us, and we always have troubles with this. This billing issue isn’t a one-​time thing; it happens all too frequently. Otherwise, Dr. De Czito is great.

I’ve been going to Dr. De Czito for over 10 yrs now except for a brief time when I thought I’d try someone closer to home (see my other review) and regretted it badly.
Anyhow, Dr. De Czito may not be the most hip charismatic conversationalist and his office is tiny, but he is a good guy and a very good dentist which is all that matters to me. He’s on the quiet side and very kind. Most importantly, he’s not a crook like a lot of dentists seem to be out there.
I’ve had generally decent oral health but a few times when I did have problems, he saw me right away, offered different options, helped me find the most economical way to take care of it and never pressured me to do anything unecessary. In fact, being the product of our vain culture myself, I’ve often asked him if I should do this or that cosmetically, which he can do, but each time, he would just say that he’d be glad to it but that he really did not think that I needed any such procedures and that human teeth were not meant to look like perfectly white piano keys. How refreshing is that?!
one time, I chipped my tooth and I wasn’t in pain but when I called his office, he had me rush in between appointments to avoid any potential of pain and then did an amazing job recreating just the part that chipped. It’s been close to 8 or 9 years now since that happened and there is no way you can tell that anything had happened to my teeth. In fact, I’ve even forgotten which part and which tooth it was because everything looks totally natural.
A good friend of mine got scammed by a dentist and forked over a lot of money for an unnecessary gum treatment and I told him to go to Dr .De czito. He didn’t listen because he was too lazy or whatever to make the change and just got scammed again by the same dentist! Now he swears he’ll go to Dr. DeCzito from now on but I wish he had listened to me sooner.
