Dr. Kupferman and his team, including the wonderful Ruth, Atalie, and all of the medical staff, were exceptional. I cannot speak highly enough of this practice. They are a class act -- from scheduling through recovery, including a phone call from Dr. Kupferman himself in the evening to check in on my child after a difficult wisdom teeth surgery with impacted teeth. I am so grateful to Dr. Kupferman for his expertise and professionalism looking after my family.

Thank you, LACOMS!

I recently took my son to get his wisdom teeth pulled it was a great experience he was in and out in an hour and a half and as we left we were given a bag with everything we could possibly need for his recovery the doctor even called a few days later to see how he was doing. And he healed quickly and with minimal pain. Thank you Dr kupferman and all the wonderful staff at LACOMS for a wonderful and easy experience.

My son is 20 years-old. I took him to Dr. Kupferman to have all 4 of his wisdom teeth extracted. Dr. Kupferman and his staff were great. The procedure went smoothly and they were very understanding of my "Mama Bear" need to be with him until he was almost under anesthetic and there when he woke up in recovery. They covered him in a snuggly blanket during recovery, gave him an icepack headband to reduce swelling and had given me the pain prescription at the consultation, so I already had the meds before the surgery. We just went back last week for the follow up and my son is healing perfectly. His pain was managed with the meds and he had no bruising and minimal swelling.

Dr. Kupferman is a very relaxed professional, which helps to keep patients and Mama Bears relaxed. It's easy to tell he is good at what he does.

If you are a nervous mom bringing your child in for wisdom teeth, your baby will be in good hands with Dr. K and his team.

Hi Susan: I'm glad to know we helped both you and your son feel relaxed and confident about the wisdom teeth extraction procedure. A lot of parents accompany their children when they undergo this kind of surgery. We take special care to make sure our patients have everything they need to recover optimally. Clearly you did a great job ensuring that the post operative instructions were followed, which is so important to ensuring the recovery process goes smoothly. Thank you for choosing our practice and for taking the time to write such a nice review.

Not a good Doctor. He ruined my child's mouth. My child will need a FAKE TOOTH to replace the permanent tooth that was extracted by MISTAKE.
