Dr Herrod is an amazing Dentist. Really great. I'm tired of lame dental work at other places and finally someone that does the job right and doesn't make the initial shot hurt. read more

Wonderful dentist! He was so good with my daughter Avery. She loves going to the dentist and seeing Dr. Herrod.

This be a fishy place. Afterall, it is his place. As I found a conventional dentist to go to, for what treatment I need done. read more

Dr Herrod is wonderful! My family has been going to him for 20 years. His work is excellent, he is fair and honest. His staff is great. I should have given him a Yelp review years ago and never thought of it. I'm having a dental emergency right before going on a trip and he called me on his day off to make sure that everything is being taken care of. That's the kind of guy he is. read more

You may not have the fancy stuff here like massage chairs, TVs in the exam rooms, or anything like that as this is a no thrills dental office. They don't even have a website which is strange so you cannot make online appointments which is inconvenient and they don't have Friday appointments. That being said, I've never had a long wait here, I've had thorough cleanings, they give a generous amount of local anesthesia for deep cleanings (very important!),and most important, they do not try to get you to get unnecessary work done that many offices will insist you need (I hate saying this, but I have found most dentists are like car salesmen....). I would say the main cons I would have for this office would be no Friday hours, no website to make online appointments, and that the billing person has made mistakes each time that I have been there ranging from insisting things weren't covered when they were and wanting to get me to pay an extra copay when I didn't owe any money. I don't think she deliberately was trying to be dishonest but making mistakes on half my appointments seems a bit odd.... Have your dental coverage printed out in advance so if she tries to bill you for things that are covered you have proof right there. I also didn't care for 1 hygentist. The rest were great though. One more con which is why this is 3 stars and not 4, they are horrible about returning phone calls... read more

Dr Herrod is an excellent dr at a reasonable price. He has helped squeeze me in once on an emergency and the other time to help my schedule. I never feel over sold and all work is explained before done. I'm a bit dental phobic and I alway leave feel very well care for. Thank you!!! read more

He is amazing! Took me in for an emergency abscess/tooth extraction. I broke my tooth three years ago and procrastinated getting it fixed. (Gross I know!) and I somehow got it infected and was in the worst pain ever!!!! we contacted him pretty early, and he came in! He was honest and did his best to make sure we made the best choice for my health. He was able to pull it out, no pain from the injections to numb. He did his best to make sure i was comfortable and happy. I am beyond happy! It is worth what we paid for, and it's super close to my house. My mouth finally feels better, and recommend him to anyone scared of the dentist. He has a little room with a tv and movies for little kids. His prices are beyond reasonable. Go see him! read more

I actually look forward to my dentist appoints! Dr. Herrod and his staff are not just friendly and on time, but they are really fun. Dr. Herrod is the only dentist that apologizes a million times before shooting you up Novocain. His sincerity and comedic blend eases your mind. His office is a bit retro, you can tell your dollars don't go to the newest equipment, but I like his simplistic non-flashy approach. I'm sure this is also why his fees are so reasonable. His staff are truly warm as well. Of course, Dr. Herrods is very skilled and conscientious in his work too. I would recommend him especially to the skittish! :) He's great! read more

I've been going to Dr Herrod since I was 14. I'm 40. (With the exception of one 6 month stint elsewhere for insurance reasons--which REALLY made me realize the stark difference.) In other words, I've done whatever I can to make sure he's my dentist. He is a man of skill, kindness, and integrity. He works to help me better understand how to best take care of my dental hygiene and is not in it for the upsell. He lays out all options and helps me make educated decisions. Over the years he's worked to expand his scope of practice, staying current with new practices and developing additional treatment options. The other dentist I went to for that 1 insurance blunder had a fancy office with fancy equipment....and I paid dearly for it with my money. I felt like a number in the sea of patients and wasted more than 30 minutes after my appointment time to be seen. Dr Herrod's office runs on time. They respect clients in every way--including keeping you on schedule. No, they don't have the latest gadgets, but they do have the latest skills and stellar customer service. The staff are warm, friendly, and efficient--all rolled into one. It's funny, people always complain about going to the dentist, going to visit Dr Herrod is like visiting family and leaving with a gleaming smile. Hat's off to Dr Herrod and the Herrod Team! read more

Dr Herrod is wonderful! He's very kind and careful to make patients comfortable. He is great at guiding patients w what the most important dental work needs to be done vs what can wait a while. He's gentle and great at numbing! My daughter couldn't get numb by another dentist that tried 2x! Dr Herrod got her numb on the 1st try and she went through the filling process beautifully. His staff is really friendly and helpful. oh! And he's really funny too :). Great conversationalist :) read more

Dr. Herrod is a great dentist and his office takes great care of us. We currently live in Denmark and my wife and I both wait to do our dental work at Dr. Herrod's office. His receptionist team is kind and efficient, his staff are all highly trained, and he does quality work while also being a really nice guy. He will be honest in his assessments but always communicates in a kind and supportive manner. Definitely one of the better dental services I have ever experienced. read more

Dr. Harrod is a wonderful, skilled dentist and a good guy, too! He is a very kind man and he listened to my concerns and did his best to address them, and the procedure I had was painless and went smoothly. Cindy, who greets you at the front desk, always has a smile. The office is clean and organized, everyone on staff is friendly, and Dr. Harrod doesn't try to upsell you with unnecessary procedures. I'll be scheduling a teeth-cleaning soon, and I'm sure whoever is on staff to do that will be equally as skilled and wonderful. Thank you, Dr. Scott Harrod and staff! read more

I was in pain - bad pain - just moved to the area - had no dentist - took me in quick and fixed me - fixed me and he is cool. Great dentist

Been going to Dr. Herrod since as long as I can remember. I don't believe you will find anybody as honest, friendly, and reasonable. In fact, my entire family goes to him and has been going to him forever. read more

Dr. Herrod is FANTASTIC. I've been to more than my share of dentists and this guy is skilled, honest and even accepts my insurance! All of his staff are great, and when I've had emergencies they have worked around my schedule to get me in and out in a timely manner. read more

Just left Dr. Herrod's office with the usual excellent results. I recently broke a crown which I had to have remade twice because of poor fit and performance. Dr. Herrod replaced it with a temporary crown which fit better than the one it was replacing. The permanent crown was color matched and fit perfectly. The best dentist I've encountered in the San Diego area since moving here almost 40 years ago. Experienced and caring staff with years of longevity at this office. read more

Dr Herrod's office is clean, the staff is friendly and the price is right! They are great! I highly recommend them!

I have been seeing Dr. Herrod for approximately 20 years. I wouldn't go anywhere else even though I'm driving from Encinitas. Not Denmark....but still! I agree with every 5-star review posted. If I lived closer I would be stopping in just to say hello, they are so much fun to talk to! Oh yes, the actual dentistry. I've had a lot of work done over the years and not once has there been any problems with the work in any way. Dr. Herrod and Susie are perfectionists in what they do. I also trust Dr. Herrod completely when he suggests that preventative care be done on a tooth. He never suggests anything that doesn't prove to be a necessity. They are the nicest, most professional people you could find! read more

Very good dentist office, Fast, honest, great service and pricing. I have been to a few dentist in the area and This is the best one I have found. read more

Can't say enough about the hospitality, professionalism and patience Dr. Herrod and his staff exhibited in accommodating my needs and availability. read more

Doctor Herrod's office is excellent! If you've ever been afraid of the dentist you won't be anymore! He's always kind and funny and you can really tell he treats his employees well, which is something we should support as a community! His staff is always friendly and accommodating. read more

Dr. Herrod is amazing. My family started going here several years ago after a referral from another family member. I think about twenty family/friends go to him for dental work and I haven't heard anything but good reviews from them. Dr. Herrod and his team make sure you understand everything that is going on and they have a nice family atmosphere there. Most of the time you can get an appointment pretty fast and they will always call you with a reminder. Another thing, Dr. Herrod has kids so he knows all the tricks (like his donald duck voice) to help kids to feel at ease and they don't mind going to the dentist! read more

Dr. Herrod has been our family dentist for many years and I would never think about going to anyone else for our dental needs. I literally faint at the sight of a needle and somehow Dr. Herrod has the ability to give me a shot without pain and without passing out. I know it sounds trivial, but it's a big deal for me and my kids. Dr. Herrod and his staff are the best! read more

I have been going to see Dr. Herrod for three years. Even after I moved to Chula Vista, I continued to make the 20 minute semi annual commute up to la mesa for cleanings. Dr. Herrod is great. I am a terrible flosser. I always have been. But under Dr. Herrod's kind encouragement, I have improved a lot! I always feel great after visiting Dr. Herrod! read more

Great staff and dentist! My crown on the top, on back, randomly came off as I was chewing on a subway sandwich for breakfast. I haven't seen a dentist since I've lived in San Diego (about 9 months now), so I searched for one quick and the one nearest to me that had the highest reviews was Dr. Herrod. They took me in 3 hours after the crown had just fallen off! Got me in and out there quick and Dr. Herrod and miss Suzy kept me entertained. Prices are super reasonable also. Thank you so much!! read more

After consulting with numerous implant specialists and always repelled by their exorbitant costs and a feeling of doctor/patient detachment, I finally decided on Dr. Herrod. It proved to be a good choice! His meticulous attention to the smallest details made me confident of the outcome. His was no easy task, but a very complex one. From bone grafts to implants, I now have the feel and function of real teeth, without the obscene cost usually associated with them. He is now the one I go to for all of my dental care needs. I strongly recommend him for any dental needs one may have, from routine care to bone grafts to implants. In my opinion, he is the best! read more

I have such a positive experience every time I come in. They always want what's best and they make sure I'm satisfied. Kind and caring group of people. Best destiny experience by far! read more

My husband and I have been going to Dr. Herrod for over 15 years. We have moved from California, but we make our annual trip from Alaska to have our dental work done. We travel all over for most of the winter, but we continue to go to Dr. Herrod because he is conscientious, thorough, caring, and I trust him completely. He, his hygienists, and his staff are kind and professional. I've had to go to someone else for an emergency, and I was told I have had very good dental work. I feel Dr. Herrod is a man of integrity, and so is his staff. read more

We recommend Dr. Scott Herrod without any reservations. My husband and I both appreciate the quality of his work. He has replaced several of my front teeth with a bridge and the detail and color match are perfect. He and the entire staff are very friendly and professional. Routine maintenance cleaning? No one is gentler than Lily. read more

Thanks Dr. Herrod. Had my wisdom teeth removed and it was as clean as a tooth removal can get. Also has some really great people working for him. Thank you ladies. read more

I've had a lot of dental work done by Dr. Herrod and his staff since 1988. I couldn't be more pleased with their excellence in all respects!

Dr. Herrod is the best! I have been seeing Dr. Herrod for over 20 years driving from Escondido. He is gentle, minimizes pain, does great work and is honest. What else can you ask for in a dentist? read more
