Roda Gregory, DDS

Dr Roda was recommended to me a few years ago after a painful botched attempted root canal by another endodontist. I had consulted 6 other endodontists before meeting with Dr Roda. He was confident, professional and warm. He took the time to explain everything in detail. I decided to have him do the root canal. I could tell he was especially skilled and the root canal went smoothly and painlessly. I was very grateful! I highly recommend him.

Excellent work. My root canals have been painless. Highly recommend.

I’ve been seen by Dr. Roda more times than I’d like to share, but he is the greatest ever! I would not allow anyone else to give me a root canal. I’m in the dental field and I’ve seen bad dentistry and
Dr. Roda provides excellent care. He is friendly and charming, but his job is not to befriend everyone that walks in the door. He’s booked out for weeks, and that speaks volumes. I prefer competence over small talk. I can appreciate the number of patients waiting to see him, and he is only trying to get people out of pain, one mouth at a time. His staff, front and back are nothing short of amazing and always pleasant. Keep up the great work!!!

I came to Dr. Roda after my son had a accident were he had his teeth knocked out. Dr. Hudson (who is one of the greatest orthodontics) had recommended Dr Roda and like I’m the worried mother that I am I called the first Dr that answered the phone. NOT A GOOD IDEA. The previous Dr wanted to schedule root canals right away. So I decided to get a second opinion. Well first of all Shelly (office staff) was very helpful and sweet. So we came in for a consult. Let me tell you this Dr is great. Explained that root canals were not recommended at this time. Friendly guy and he does thing very differently. So obviously we are staying with Dr. Roda.

I have dealt with Dr. Roda for over 15 years. Seeing an endodontist is never fun, but he is professional and amazing at what he does. I wouldn’t trust anyone else. Thanks Dr. Roda!!!

I went to Dr. Roda as my parents had a good experience with him. I had just dealt with a botched root canal that required 3 appointments and no resolution. The treatment was botched to the point that they told me I would likely need to get the tooth extracted after the first appointment (without claiming responsibility). Obviously I wanted another opinion before returning to that dentist.
Other reviews said that they found Dr. Roda to not be very personable. I found Dr. Roda to be very personable, but maybe as a nerd I judge differently. He made me feel comfortable. He also explained everything to me very well, what he saw in the tooth, what the potential options are (I had never heard of a root amp etc.) and whether or not he could fix it and he was confident he could. He provided me enough information to not be scared about what the other dentist was telling me. Once the other dentist said he couldn’t do anymore, I didn’t hesitate to make an appointment with Dr. Roda to finish the treatment.
The process was pretty quick and without any complications. He caught up to me before I left the building because he noticed something on the x-​ray that was caused by the previous dentist and I went back at that moment and they fixed it as a precaution in like 5 minutes.
I found the office staff to be pretty friendly and there was no attempt to upsell. I highly recommend.
I will never have another root canal done by a dentist again — always use an endodontist.

Dr Roda is an excellent endodontist! He is fast, courteous, and professional. I can’t believe these reviews of other people not giving him 5 stars. I mean, what do you expect a 5 star endodontist would be???
Just because a tooth has a crack in it, does not mean you should go get a ct scan immediately and waste a bunch of money. You should do what the doctor recommends because he/​she knows best. Not you. Be thankful he DID pay for the ct scan and give him 6 stars…
And just because a doctor doesn’t remember every detail about a conversation you had in the past, doesn’t mean he’s not a good doctor. He just sees a lot of people. And as a specialist, probably doesn’t have long standing, consistent relationships with a lot of his clients. (unless ever single tooth has a root canal…)
It’s like people review based on one bad experience and ruin it for everyone else. Be objective and think outside yourself.

No one wants to go to an Endodntist because it usually means you’ve got problems, but if you have to go, Dr. Roda is the guy to see.
Dr. Roda has done several root canals on me (both molars with multiple canals and single-​canal teeth. He makes it look effortless almost like getting a simple cavity filled. I have never had any complications from any of the work he has done.
The appointment times are scheduled well. I have never waited past an appointment time. The work he does is done in a timely manor. His appointments understandably take a little longer since they have to numb you up pretty good for a root canal.
Dr Roda’s personality is a little different than most. He is definably a down-​to-​business type of dentist. You won’t find him chatting you up on your visit. He’s very technical about his work. This may come off as sort of inconsiderate, but I find the technical descriptions he gives as he’s working on you are informative and help ease the fears that most people associate with root canals.
The front office staff are efficient and appointments and insurance billing are done well. You have to remember that most patients are in pain when they call. One downside is that I feel that not all of his office staff are emphatic to this.
Overall, if you have the unfortunate need of an endodontist, you strongly want to consider Dr. Roda. You’re experience won’t be like other horror stories you’ve heard of.

I thought he was great. Personable. Obviously very competent.

Wanted to find a local endodontist other than the one I had used before. Went to Dr. Roda for a consultation, and he gave me all kinds of negative scenarios that might prevent him from completing the root canal I needed. I felt I had not too many options, and a friend had used him and said he was ok.
Went I went back for the procedure, he didn’t remember me or the conversation we had had before. This did not inspire confidence at all. Why else would a dentist take notes after a consultation I PAID for if not to have the information there when I came back??? But I was there.
I have been to a lot of dentists, and I requested topical anesthetic before the injection. He just touched the topical to the gum, and then away he went. It was very unpleasant. He accomplished the root canal in one appointment, thank goodness, because I would not have wanted to go back. So… he charged less than the other dentist in Westlake I would have gone to, but his focus was on being in and out of there as fast as possible. Would I go back? Not unless I had NO choice.

This doctor does ROOT CANALS (Endodontist). Usually a dentist will give a referal to him. He’s efficient and a man of few words but he gets the job done.
I’d probably like it if he talked to the patient a bit more. Does not use nitrous but is fast. Root canals are done (usually) at in one session. Takes on emergencies daily, so they fit you in as needed.
