I was born and raised in the West San Fernando Valley, where I attended Round Meadow Elementary, A.E. Wright Middle School, and Calabasas High. After high school, I moved on to the University of California San Diego where I graduated Phi Beta Kappa and summa cum laude with a Bachelor of Science. I earned my Doctorate of Dental Surgery with honors from UCLA School of Dentistry in 1994 and continued my education tocompletemy Master of Science in orthodontics, also with honors, from USC in 1997.

Upon graduation, I joined my father in practice in Woodland Hillsand, like my father, am a Diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontics, a member of the American Association of Orthodontists, a member of the Southern California Angle Society, and an assistant professor in the graduate orthodontic department at USC, where I have received the Outstanding Teacher of the Year Award. I have also implemented a case-review system to help the USC residents become board certified.

I loveparticipating in both the local and orthodontic community. Personally, I have served on the region 71 AYSO board as the Boys U8 division rep, as well being a volunteer soccer referee. Professionally, I have been both the president and treasurer of the USC Orthodontic Alumni Association, as well as an active member on the Dougherty and Tanaka Orthodontic Foundation.

One of the best parts of living and working in such a great community is seeing the smiles weve created out and aroundtown. I always look forward to attending local theatrical productions at Calabasas and Agoura high schools, where I can watch my patients in action!

I received my dental degree from St. Louis University and completed a general practice residency at Philadelphia General Hospital. Upon completion of my residency, I served as a US Navy Lieutenant dentist for a Marine helicopter squadron in Japan and Vietnam. After returning from active duty, I earned a Master of Sciencein orthodonticswith honors from USC. I have practiced orthodontics exclusively in the West Valley since that time.

In addition to practicing orthodontics, I also enjoy teaching, and have been an associate professor in the graduate orthodontic department at USC for the past few decades. During this time I have been chosen Teacher of the Year three times!

I am a Diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontics, a member of the American Association of Orthodontists, and a member of the Edward Angle Society, where I have received multiple awards for clinical excellence.

In my spare time, I love playing the piano,tennis, skiing, mountain biking, and playing with my grandchildren (Eli, Ben, and Matty), as well as collectingcontemporary art (some of which is displayed at the office). My adventurous wifeand I also love travelingto exotic places and engaging with native cultures. When Imnot at work or traveling, I can be found hiking around the neighborhood with my gentle labradoodle, Matisse.

They have taken care of three of my children's teeth and always do an amazing job. I only trust my kids to them and believe me you should too.

As an adult starting Ortho again can be difficult. Growing up I did not have the best dental care and that resulted in a number of issues as an adult. I had previously had Ortho but it was never really completed. On top of that complications with bone loss made my case more difficult. I was lucky to be referred to Dr. Warren Schacter. From the start he laid down the plan to follow and made the process as easy as possible. Today I'm able to smile with confidence and not be shy about my teeth. I could not be more happier with the magic he performed on me. I highly recommend the entire team at Schacter Ortho, they are phenomenal!!!!

I really appreciate Dr Warren's help on my Invisalign treatment. Before starting the treatment with Schacter Orthodontist, I got consultations with a couple other ortho offices. However, none of them could provide a solution that best solves the problem of my teeth. The Schacter office took my case. After discussing what I was looking for from the treatment, Dr Warren designed my treatment that best fulfills my expectation and went through the pros and cons thoroughly with me. The office helped set up the office visits that best fit my work/travel schedule. Everything was well-planned during my 18-month treatment. And the result turns out to be even better than I was looking for. The entire office is very professional and thoughtful. My treatment was very pleasant!

Wow! What a great resource for kids and everything orthodontics. This family business has been so kind to my daughter over the last few years. I remember back to my childhood and my time with braces. I am amazed at the staff and the talent at Schacter Orthodontics. I Highly recommend them to all the future kids who want a great smile!

Thank you guys so much for taking care of my sons teeth. My son says he is giving you guys 10 STARS! We will all miss you!!!

Wonderful experience with Dr. Warren (and everyone in the office). Dr. Warren is knowledgeable and very good. He got teeth aligned faster than expected. My boys look forward to visits with him and earning wooden nickels. Everyone is friendly, the office is clean and comfortable for both patients and parents plus they have a sweet therapy dog. Two boys out of braces, one more to go! Yey!

We love Schacter Orthodontics and have been with them for many years, first for our son Nick, and most recently, our younger daughter Emily. We have always felt they had reasonable pricing and were honest about what work really needed to be done. The office has a super friendly staff and are very helpful and accommodating. My kids think both Dr Schacters are incredibly kind and understanding, especially if they break a bracket or forget to wear their rubber bands. It's an extra special treat on the rare occasion that they get to say hello to Matisse, the office mascot.

I have had the luck of working with Schacter Orthodontics twice, one time for each of my children. The experience from start to finish was easy and smooth (and one of my children had a more challenging case) The Doctor's, assistants and front office staff are kind, patient and fittingly have smiles on their faces.They take their time with you, answer your questions and clearly explain the process and fees up front. I feel confident and proud referring Schacter Orthodontics to my family and friends.

Dr. Schacter is a wonderful orthodontist, and the business is so well run. As far as the orthodontic process, he does what's right for the child and not necessarily what's easiest or what will bring in the most money. My kids had different issues with their teeth and their experiences were both different, but positive and effective.

4 Kids with Every Issue Possible all with Beautiful Smiles:) When my oldest was ready for braces back in August of 2012, I did my research for the best Orthodontist around. Went to a few consultations and decided to go with the Schacters for a few reasons: 1) They were honest and direct with the treatment plan and price-no games 2) their experience combined made us feel in good hands 3) their place was always clean and friendly 4) many of our friends referred them! After 4 kids, last one getting her braces off this summer... my opinion has NOT changed. From referring us to an amazing oral surgeon for impacted teeth, to fixing my youngest Class 1 without surgery, to enabling each one of them to end up with a beautiful smile, they went above and beyond. As a mom who is the "Queen of Researches", I would always recommend them without a doubt!

It was nice that they help me to have a better smile! I thought I have the worst teeth and because of that I don't have the self-confidence to smile, but I've never imagined that I could smile with nice teeth. All of them are so nice and easy to talk with even just a little problem that happened to me while I had my braces, they would find a way for me to see the orthodontist and fix it. I would highly recommend them not because they are nice but they would help you to have a new smile with great teeth and boost your confidence more.

I came to Schacter Orthodontics with previous treatment from another orthodontist in a different state. The entire staff was immediately welcoming, helpful, and patient. I came in expecting a full year of treatment, but Dr. Schacter was beyond efficient and was able to cut that time in half. Not to mention, he gave me a smile that I can show with confidence. I highly recommend them for your orthodontic treatment.

My daughter and I have both had amazing experiences with Dr Warren. I was referred by our dentist for my daughters cross bite. I did my due diligence and interviewed a few different orthodontists prior to going with Dr Warren. The reason why I selected his practice is that he was honest in the consultation, and his father (Dr Robert Schacter) was very thorough in his explanations. My daughters bite was fixed as promised. Once that was remediated I elected to have Dr Warren fix my own teeth. He recommended invisalign for my treatment. Nine months later I am pleased to report that I have a beautiful smile and love the way my teeth have transformed. I cannot review this practice without mentioning the amazing women in the front office. The ladies are so warm and welcoming to our family at every visit. It is always a pleasure to chat with them upon my arrival. It is important to acknowledge how Dr Schaecter and his employees have been extra cautious during the pandemic. Appointment times have been staggered and every possible protocol has been implemented to ensure the safety for patients. I would not hesitate to recommend Dr Warren and his staff if you are looking for orthodontics for you or your family. I will be eventually bringing my other daughter here and know that I can completely trust the treatment plan.
