Get to know Dr. Goldberg.
Compassion, education, and trust. Patients should fully understand what is needed, why it matters, and every option available. Comfortable, informed patients make the best decisions for their long-term health.
More than 30 years into her career, Dr. Goldberg still believes the best care starts with the patient understanding their own mouth. She takes great care to explain what she sees, what it means, and every option available.
Dr. Goldberg grew up in New Jersey and earned her B.S. in Biology from the University of Houston. After earning her DMD from Penn in 1991, she owned and practiced in her own general dental practice in Southern New Jersey for 20 years. She relocated to California’s Central Coast to be closer to family in the Bay Area and joined Kitto Family Dental in 2018.

What to expect as a patient.
When you see Dr. Laura Goldberg, expect a calm and unhurried visit. She listens first, explains what she sees in plain language, and shows you on the chairside screen so you can see what she sees. Any treatment plan is presented with a written estimate before you decide.
If you’re anxious about the visit, tell her at the start. She adjusts pace, offers breaks, and lets numbing take full effect before any procedure begins.
