Ian H Rodd, DDS

My husband’s bridge fell out within one week. Dr Ian Rodd admitted he didn’t prep area properly prior to procedure. After recementing bridge, it fell out again just recently. Instead of returning to Dr Rodd, my husband opted to have it recemented by a different dentist. The new dentist stated it fell out because it was not sealed properly. Finally, found a competent dentist!

Dr Rodd is a great practitioner. His chairside manners are great, he is very accommodating and will never try to up sell anything. He does all the work himself and is very personable guy. He even sent me a card when I had my baby! What a find!

Dr Rodd used to be patient oriented this was five years ago. Now he is profit oriented. I have to change dentists because he charges extra to scrape tarter off of teeth. That’s normally included with the annual cleaning. He has changed. All he cares about is making money

Dr. Rodd is the most talented and caring Dentist you will ever experience. I have needle phobia and other dental fears but Dr Rodd has helped me become a person who enjoys my regular dental checkups and even less fearful of real dental work! His ability and skill are both artistic and lasting. I would fly in to see him if I were to move away. No joke! Funny, kind and handsome, Dr Rodd is a wonderful human being. The staff are equally great and I give this doctor and office FIVE STARS!

Very professional and conscientious dentist. Extremely aware of the patient’s concerns. My dental work looks great and came with a 5 year warranty against breakage and discoloration. That was very impressive. The staff is also professional and proficient in what they do. The ambiance of the treatment rooms is peaceful and almost Zen-​like. A friend of mine recommended Dr. Rodd to me and I would recommend him to all my friends as well. The professionalism of Dr. Rodd makes it well worth the 45 minute drive from my office in Orange.

Dr. Rod is a trustworthy dentist and I always feel comfortable getting my teeth worked on by him. I would recommend him to family and friends.

I went from despising going to the dentist (my mom just told me a story about how I bit a dentist when I was little) to loving my dentist. I’ve been going to dr. Rodd since the late 90s and I don’t see myself ever switching. He’s super nice and patient. I’ve had multiple fillings and none of them hurt. Yes, the sound still gives me goosebumps, but no pain! Plus he really only performs a procedure if necessary. I’ve been grinding my teeth and got worried. I went in and asked if I need a mouth guard. He checks every time and says that my grinding isn’t severe enough but he keeps his eyes on it every time I visit. Bedside manner and customer service is what sets him apart from anyone else. Did I mention that I’m willing to drive at least 30 mins to see him? Totally worth the trip! I recommend him to everyone. Plus his office staff is super friendly!

Dr. Rodd is the most professional, down to earth, meticulous and capable dentist ever! His friendly staff is on top of what’s happening and the whole atmosphere makes going to the dentist a breeze!!! As a matter of fact, there’s a view of the ocean!!!

Honest, Caring and Exceptional Work! Dr. Rodd, is a dental Rock Star!
I have crazy anxiety when it comes to dental visits, as many of us do. In the past, I jumped from one dentist to another. Searching for a better experience. I didn’t know it was possible to leave a dentist chair and Feel Amazing! But now I do! The office is so relaxing, the kindest staff and all the work is done by Dr. Rodd. He takes his time, talks with you privately and really helps you understand your dental needs. I still have some anxiety before my appointments (because of years of fear) but his calm mannerism and tranquil environment reminds me, I’m in good hands. He provides creative ways to make sure each patient is truly comfortable. Not many of us get to leave the dentist chair with an ear-​to-​ear grin and the insatiable need to shout from the roof tops… I love my dentist! I do! That’s how awesome I feel after every visit. Thank you Dr. Rodd, you’re my dental Rock Star!

I have been going to Dr. Rodd for over 8 years for all my dental needs. Dr. Rodd is the most professional dentist I have ever experienced. He has performed at the highest level of integrity in all our dealings. He has reworked a number of my teeth under his 5 year warranty without question. Additionally since I travel quite often Dr. Rodd has always been available to help when I needed information or help in an emergency. The best!!!

I really like Dr. Rodd. He’s very nice, and very patient. I had a first time cavity and he was very concious of pain level, etc. His office is very nice and overlooks the ocean, so you definitely cannot beat that! The only negative I would say is that once or twice I’ve been asked to reschedule my appointment, but that’s all.

Dr. Rodd is patient, thorough and he lets the novocaine work. You don’t feel a thing.

I have had some very unpleasant experiences with dentists, the most recent being the worst… a friend recommended Dr. Rodd and told me that he was in Dana Point which is pretty far for me to drive but she said he was worth the trip… BEST DENTIST I HAVE EVER SEEN. I will make the drive for my cleanings and fillings. He is honest and gentle with a great bedside manner, which I require in a Dr. and haven’t been able to find. I am extremely picky and I highly recommend him… his staff is also excellent and made me very comfortable… I got lost on my way there and the receptionist was so friendly and patient.

This dentist and his staff deserves 5 stars!
Dr. Rodd is extremely professional, very knowledgeable and up to date about modern technology in the industry, and most important, he truly has the patient’s care at the forefront of his actions at all times. He is not ever trying to «sell» any unecessary procedures or products on you… ever! In fact, he is very honest about what you need and what would be a nice to have, never compromising his integrity yet understanding that health is of most concern and the patient is queen. He listens and takes as much time to listen as he needs to until you are both on the same page about the next step or whatever needs to be done.
I had some comprehensive dental work done and when I needed immediate care over the Thanksgiving holiday, rather than sending me to an emergency clinic or asking me to come back during business hours, he left his home and out of state relatives who were visiting to meet me at his clinic and promptly took care of my urgent situation. Who does that?!
His approach is very gentle and I would not hesitate to let him do dental work on me without numbing if I had to. I would let no other dentist do this! He truly cares and does a great job reassuring that he is not hurting you while he works on your teeth.
His staff is just like him. Extremely friendly, cooperative, professional, and just a pleasure to deal with.
The dentist office is clean, organized, comfortable, and just very well run.
I would recommed this dental office to anyone!!!

Hello
I am a long-​time patient of Dr Rodd. I drive over 100 miles to be cared for by him.
His skillset and chairside manner are beyond compare with any other dentist (or doctor for that matter) I have used.
I really appreciate it that Dr. Rodd does the routine cleanings himself, without a hygenist. This way, he gets a detailed look at the condition of my mouth.
Dr. Rodd offers a great warrantee on his work, but I have never had to worry because he is SO competent and talented.
You may feel free to contact me to confirm my review!

Dr. Rodd is a great professional. He is knowledgeable and attentive to client’s needs. Equipment used is state of the art. Staff is friendly and helpful. Most important to me, the work done is always top quality.

A wonderful person and dentist. His offices are super clean and efficient. He was so loving and kind to my mother who had Alzheimers. He took such good care of her and for that I will always be grateful. My sister and I both love him. I hope to see him very soon.
He is a very dedicated doctor. Thank you Dr. Rodd.

I enjoy my trips to dentist!
Dr. Rodd practices pain free dentistry with great patient care. I have and will continue to recommend Dr. Rodd to all my friends and family.

What a fantastic dentist!
I’ve been with Dr. Rodd for many years now and he never stops to amaze me during my visits. Not only is he meticulous and professional in his work, he also provides a very comfortable and relaxing atmosphere and makes you feel safe (as safe as one can feel in a dentist’s chair). Aside from my regular cleanings and check-​ups, I’ve also had fillings and veneers redone that other places have managed to screw up.
The office staff complements the Dr. and his office very well.
