Uchizono Rodger K,DDS

Everyone always asks and I always say «Go see Rodger». After a childhood of flinching in the dental chair, I now have a care plan that helps me prevent issues and acts to solve new issues in a very patient-​friendly way. Rodger and the entire team there are super-​friendly, kind and always flexible if something comes up. Also, it’s cool to know that your dentist gives away a ton of his time to help those who can’t pay for dental care but really need it. But, in the end, my family goes to Rodger because we trust him. Dental care can be expensive. Knowing I have a dentist who will recommend what I need vs. what I could have done is very reassuring.

Doctor Uchizono is probably the best dentist I’ve had… EVER. I’ve only gone to him once, but his bedside manners and staff are amazing. I went to get a filling done, that popped out of my mouth. He is very professional and walks you through the entire procedure. I was recommended to him through a few of my neighbors, and will be recommending him to many more. A++++

I cannot say enough great things about Dr. Uchizono. My entire family has gone to him for 20 years and I trust him more than anyone. I moved out of the area 6 years ago and there are plenty of dentists in my area, I make the drive of 70 miles because he always goes the extra mile. He is 100% honest, his staff is awesome and above all, I trust him! He is a brilliant dentist that fixed a problem tooth no one else could fix and others wanted to drain my bank account, but not him! I cannot say enough wonderful things about he and his staff !

I have had the good fortune of having Dr. Roger as my dentist for 10 years. Dr. Roger and his staff are always very easy to get a hold of, a pleasure to visit, and always answers all my questions about any work to be done on my teeth. Dr. Roger is very professional and always helps me understand any procedures I am undergoing. He is very passionate about his practice and truly wants you to be a happy patient.
I visited his office years ago with my then 7-​year-​old daughter. We did not have an appointment but he stopped what he was doing in the middle of the day and came out to the lobby. He gently spoke with my daughter about good dental hygiene and other things as well to make her feel comfortable. Dr. Roger was truly instrumental in helping my daughter overcome her fear of dentists.
Dr. Roger also has noise cancelling headphones available upon request! I truly feel that Dr. Roger is looking out for my dental health! I would gladly recommend Dr. Roger to anyone looking for a great dentist!
Oh, and Dr. Roger recommended me to a terrific endodontist who performed a PAIN-​FREE root canal on me, Dr. Chetan Mehta on Newport Avenue in Tustin.

Dr. Uchizono is the best. With him, we are in good hands.

Dr Rodger is absolute THE best. I wont let any other dentists to touch my teeth. Some stupid dentist even wanna put eight veneers on my healthy teeth. Dr Rodger used two veneers and carefully adjusted the surface of the veneer to create optical illusion. Now they look perfect. Thank you very much.
He is great with my husband’s teeth problem as well.

I’ve read the other reviews on Unilocal.Everyone has a different experience. Fortunately, I do not require any work from a dentist — I just came in for standard cleaning. While the cleaning I received was pretty good, I was then told by Dr. U. afterward that I needed a deep cleaning — a root scaling. This is where my experience turned the corner — I was given the scare technique, told the prices were $ 3,000 elsewhere, but he’d give me a break at $ 1,200. Remember Caveat Emptor? Let the buyer beware. I had no idea what a deep cleaning cost — this was to be my first time. I was told it takes 4 hours so ok, maybe. It wasn’t until after the first two quadrants were done in 1 hour for $ 600 did I undertake to do some homework. What I found is that most dental offices do a deep cleaning for about $ 500-​$ 600 total. The hygienist said my teeth were is great shape, thanks for the standard cleaning I paid for just before doing the deep cleaning. So $ 145 + $ 1,200 to have my teeth cleaned is considered excessive at $ 600/​hour! I spoke with the office about feeling taken advantage of, and was told I would get a refund of $ 300. A month later and my credit card was NOT refunded, and I in speaking with the office was told they changed their mind about a refund — they are not able to issue credits on their charge terminal, which is total B.S. Bottom line — before you agree to a procedure, call around and find out what other’s are charging. Dr U. and his team may be good at practicing dentistry, bad at customer relations and good at making excuses and not honoring their word. Shameful!

Dr. Uchizono is the man. Super friendly guy and makes going to the dentist an easy experience. He explains everything, answers all my questions, and never makes me feel rushed.

Dr. Uchizono is the best dentist I have ever had in my life and I have probably seen about 10 – 12 dentists in my lifetime. And he is one of the best health care professionals I have ever met.
I first came here about a year ago, because of all the amazing Unilocal reviews. They are absolutely true in my opinion. Dr. Uchizono is very intelligent, patient, friendly, and takes great pride in his work. He explains the diagnosis, treatment options, and procedures very carefully.
Most importantly he does not try to push or sell any unnecessary procedures that you do not want or do not need. He is a person of faith and integrity who prides himself in providing his patients with excellent service and outstanding care. He is not about the money, but about the quality of care, which is very rare in this day and age.
His prices have been extremely reasonable.
He takes his time and makes sure that you have been properly anesthetized. So of all the dentists I have seen he and his staff have been the absolute best at pain control and anesthesia. I never even feel the slightest twinge even after a major procedure.
I am truly grateful to Unilocal for helping me find such a treasure. Without Unilocal,it would be so much more difficult to find such an outstanding, sincere, and dedicated health care professional.

Been coming here twice a year for 20 years! Dr Uchizono is a fantastic dentist and Dawn and Grace at the front desk are always friendly. Stacey always cleans my teeth so I don’t really know any of the other hygienists, but at this point I don’t think I’ll ever go anywhere else!
Dr Brent also seems to subscribe to Dr Uchizono’s conservative philosophy of treatment, so I’m glad that if Dr Uchizono ever retires (please don’t, ever!!!) I’ll still have somewhere I trust to care for my teeth!

I’ve been going to Dr. Uchizono since I was a kid. I didn’t go in since 2006 and made an appointment for 2013 as of last year. He remembered me! Everyone in the office remembered me. The lady working on my teeth did a great job and again when I went back in for another cleaning in February!

Dr. Uchizono IS THE BEST!!! I have been going to him for about 10 years. He is an amazing doctor with a big big heart. I have had crown, root canal, and other more general work done and they have ALL been PERFECT. I trust him and even when I do not have insurance, go back to him because I don’t want to risk anything going wrong by going to any other dentist!
Aside from being a highly skilled and experienced doctor, Dr. Uchizono’s philosophy on life is so on par with what I believe in and how much he gives back to others is simply inspiring. It is not just another visit to the doctor’s for me. for sure.
Thank you Dr. Uchizono for continuing to do your incredible work… very very grateful for you! :) Sahra (aka Sahra)

I have been a patient of the good Dr. Uchizono for over 18 years.
I have nothing but the highest praise for this terrific Dentist and Humanitarian.
He not only is an incredible dentist but an artistic genius when it comes to dealing with difficult problems. He also does more than his share of community and national services to the under privileged of this country or any country that needs his expertise. I am privileged to be his patient. Thank you Dr. Rodger!!!

He is really really good, really artistic and only do what is necessary. Many of my friends go there and all they say are good things about him, The very best!

Dr. Rodger & the entire staff are the best! They have taken care of Our entire family for over 20 years!

I took my very nervous 8 year old daughter to Dr. Rodger based on a recommendation from a friend.
Not many dentists can do what he does.
He simply has a gift for putting kids at ease.
On top of that he is not in the business of treating patients like some sort of ATM. He prescribes what must be done and nothing more. He does not take advantage of a parent’s fears, anxieties or lack of knowledge when it comes to treatment plans. He is someone you can trust.
His staff is helpful and friendly and they make you feel like a part of their special little family. We are so excited to have a highly competent, gifted and honest dentist we can rely on for years to come.

Been going there for over 20 years.
Simply the best!

The best. Saved my tooth even after 2 other dentist said I needed root canal. How is that possible? but he did it. 3 years later and my tooth is still fine. So happy I found him. Glad I didn’t believe the other guys.

Uchizono is the man!!!
I’ve been seeing him since I was 3 years old! He used to sing to me to calm me down and make me laugh.
He is kind, he is BRILLIANT, he is the best dentist… my entire family goes to him.
His staff has been the same for over 20 years which says a lot about him and the person he is.
I can’t say enough about him!!!

I’ve been going to Dr. Uchizono for the last 20 years… he’s just THAT good.
I cracked a tooth pretty badly recently and the dentist I went to in Seattle said that it was a lost cause. After getting a second opinion from Dr. Uchizono, I was relieved to hear that it could be saved through a root canal and crown. Not only is his work good, his network is great. He referred me to an endontologist that was excellent.
Coming back to get the crown work completed, I was completely satisfied with the fact that it was painless, and that I have full functionality of that tooth again.
If you’re afraid of the pains involved with dental work, come to Dr. Uchizono’s office. Excellent work, minimal pain!
