River Dentistry and Dr Charles are the best in downtown LA. Rarely will you find a caring and highly skilled dentist who puts patience first and does everything within his power to meet your dental needs. He’s conveniently located and has very flexible hours. Great feedback for the patience and someone you can trust. Cleanings, extractions, root canals, etc, done at a high level! Dr Charles is the best!

Great dentist - called with a dental emergency and they saw me the same day and replaced my filling. They even stayed after hours to finish. Look no further this is the best dentist.

Dr. Charlie is the best dentist I’ve ever had. I’ve been going to him for almost 15 years now. It’s simply always an easy, comfortable experience. He provides opinions and recommendations I can trust. He works with whatever insurance I have in a given year. And the location is quite convenient. Five stars for sure.
