Waited many years multiple missed appointments to get work done on my teeth because my huggies were to tight but after my consultation appointment with Dr. Dodson; we got it done. read more

Wow! I am taken aback by the level of care provided by Dr. Dodson and his team. They are extremely professional, caring and so polite. Everything was explained clearly and throughly. I had a root canal done and it was EASY! Aside from the first numbing injection, I had no pain during or after the procedure. If you need dental work done, I HIGHLY recommend Maui Endodontics. Without a doubt, you will be well taken care of! read more

If you get referred to Dr. Zachary Dodson's office at Maui Endodontics, just know that you're in good hands! I had to get a root canal and was referred by the lovely Dr. Lisa Shitamoto so I trusted her referral choice. The staff at Maui Endodontics were great starting with Danielle on the phones getting me scheduled in and rescheduled several times later but was super friendly at every interaction. She was just as nice in person! I think it was Kelly and another girl who assisted Dr. Dodson but I cannot remember their names, they were equally as great. Dr. Dodson, as mentioned in several other reviews made it a point to go over the procedures and what to expect while doing several checks to make sure I was ok and not in pain. He even apologized for the delay but I only waited a whole 5 minutes or so. Not unusual for Dr's offices but I loved that he cared about every patients' time. The root canal was super easy and it was my first one so I didn't know what to expect but it was quicker than I expected and recovery was easy. Overall, I am super happy with my experience and hopefully I don't have to go back for anymore bad teeth haha but I know it'll be a positive experience! Highly recommended. read more

Let me say I'm a dentist with over 50 years of experience and have done over 30,000 root canals Today I had a previous root canal retreated by Dr Dodson The experience was exceptional Dr Dodson provided an unparalleled experience Can't thank him and Danielle enough for the quality of care and terrific outcome read more

My wife cracked a tooth and was referred to Dr. Dodson on Friday morning. Dr. Dodson squeezed her in for a Friday afternoon appointment and [expertly & empathetically] removed the tooth before leaving the office. Needless to say, we were both amazed he'd go so far and beyond the call of duty. I have to add that his entire staff showed the same kindness and consideration ---even though we kept them late on a Friday afternoon. We've been hearing complimentary things about the professionalism and skill of Zachary Dodson since we arrived in Maui 10 years ago. My wife, Susan, and I are happy to find all the superlatives were on the money! read more

I did my root canal weeks ago and I'm happy I chose Dr. Dodson. I was nervous but he was sweet, caring and explained the procedure in detail. I wasn't nervous! He kept checking if I was okay and it was a smooth experience. I definitely recommend him! Clean office, caring staff and up-to-date machines. Thank you!! read more

Amazing dental office and team. Dr Dodson is super gentle and caring. He's great at what he does but most importantly, he's kind to all his nurses/staff. It makes sense then why all the staff are super nice too. He fixed the issue I had with a leaking root canal that was leaking into the gums. Everything went super and all was good and it comes with a complimentary follow up visit in a year. read more

Maui Endodontics - Watch TV embedded in the ceiling as they work on your teeth. Sweet :) - Endodontists Near Me - Kahulu, Hawaii

Dr. Zach Dodson was very helpful in explaining why my daughter was experiencing pain. We were referred to him by another dentist, and he squeezed us in to help assess the situation. He was thorough, patient, and my teenager daughter was more comfortable after he described why she was having so much pain. His staff followed up after the appointment and provided us with ex rays and more information for us to take to our next visit with our next dentist. Thank you Maui Endodontics for going that extra mile with a non-patient. read more

I went to Dr. Dodson four times over the course of one year. It pains me to leave a bad review, but his lack of skill caused a minor issue to balloon into needing a root canal, multiple rounds of antibiotics, and now I have to go to Oahu to fix my tooth. His staff is nice and he's nice also, but in terms of fixing my tooth, honestly zero stars. read more

That was my first root canal, and (I couldn't believe it) one of the easiest (dare I say pleasant) dental experiences of my life, and I'm 53. Seriously. I couldn't be more pleased. I've had *cleanings* far more uncomfortable than that. I was in agony... came in for a consultation at 2:30 (tooth-hurty, I kid you not ) and they were able to squeeze me in at the end of the day. I was pain free and driving home with a smile on half my face lol before I could even process what just happened. Dr Zach and his staff were refreshing. His skill and experience were evident, and his pleasant demeanor (and the courtesy with which he treats his staff) was a welcome bonus. They are a highly functional team. I recommend some earbuds, and enjoy your day at the dental spa. read more

Maui Endodontics - My first dental dam. Amazing. So much more comfortable than without. - Endodontists Near Me - Kahulu, Hawaii

Everyone was nice at the office, my root canal was done fast and with minimal pain. I recommend this office and Dobson was very kind and patiently explained every step through the treatment so I knew what to expect and what he was doing. read more

There are not enough kind words to say about Dr. Zachary Dodson and his amazing team. To preface my review, let me just start by saying that I am not a dentist' ideal patient. I have an extreme fear of having dental procedures done due to a poor and painful prior root canal (not done by Dr. Dodson). After sharing my fears, anxiety and concern with Dr. Dodson and his team, they immediately made me feel heard, validated and calmed my nerves to the best of their ability. They are very professional, caring and patient. They talked me through every step of the procedure, they made sure to check in with me often to make sure I was pain free and completely numb. Dr. Dodson is very efficient with time, I felt like I was only sitting in his chair for 20mins! That is not to be confused with him rushing the process, it's exactly the opposite when with them..they check, double and triple check to make sure the work is done well! Dr. Dodson and his team have restored my faith that there are great dentist out there who care about you and make you feel comfortable all while doing quality work. You will not be disappointed in them, in fact I know now that if there are any more procedures in my future, I am in the best hands with Dr. Dodson and Maui Endodontics! Thank you! read more

=== LOOK NO FURTHER === * Patient * Kind * Gentle * Skilled * Efficient * Wonderful * LOW STRESS * The Anxious Person's DREAM* (: BONUS: MASSAGE CHAIR :) Still not convinced? Hmmmmm... I kinda thought "massage chair" was the deal maker... No? Just me? Well would it help if I said: "a crybaby's dream"? I mean like I literally entered crying from fear & anxiety to practically LEAPING out of the chair at the end to give the Dr. & his Assistant a hug - but because of Covid had to settle for a standing ovation. Now that is saying a LOT! It was a MASSAGE chair after all (stay with me here). SERIOUSLY THOUGH... I have NEVER been THIS happy exiting a dentist's office after a ROOT CANAL or after any major dental procedure. Zachary T Dodson, DDS of Maui Endodonics, YOU are my new HERO . From intial phone calls... to stepping into the reception area... to x-rays, consultations, needles, procedure.. I was TOTALLY, PATIENTLY and GENTLY cared for by EVERYONE. *DANIELLE -at Reception and on the phone; *JAS - x-rays, intake info, post care instructions, assisting the Dr., etc; and of course *‍DR. DODSON himself. This is HIGH PRAISE from a girl who has had EXCELLENT dentists her entire life because I could settle for nothing less with my low threshold for gum and oral pain. But after a negative experience 3 years ago which eventually landed me in an ER after a root canal (done elsewhere) my fear & anxiety was THROUGH THE ROOF for this appointment. Even though I thought I had calmed my nerves before my appointment, I wound-up crying in the dentist's chair before everything started. I even apologized for being a 'baby' because that is how I felt. I couldn't believe I had that much fear that I would start crying. It could have been embarrassing, but Jas and Dr. Dodson were so kind and patient. They calmed all my fears and talked me through everything, and I mean EVERYTHING including the "pre-numbing" BEFORE the actual needles. I felt virtually NOTHING the ENTIRE TIME!! (Now almost 24hrs later - and I have experienced no pain or swelling.) I went from being tense, ready at ANY moment to raise my hand because of pain, to totally almost sleeping. In fact I probably would have fallen asleep if Dodson wasn't constantly checking how I felt, or verbalizing the pressure I would feel, or the sounds I would hear. I marvelled at his constant checking-in with me, to make sure I was ok. 2.5 Hours at dentist!! But the actual root canal only took like 20-30 min (or at least it felt that way)!!! That's how patient & caring they were!!! God-Willing, I will never go to ANY other dentist for endodonic care. I am TOTALLY set for my oral health now with my primary dentist and with my new dental hero Dr. Zachary Dodson at Maui Endodonics! read more

Maui Endodontics - Never Been This HAPPY After a Major Dental Procedure :) - Endodontists Near Me - Kahulu, Hawaii

My first visit to Dr. Dodson. The staff is super service oriented. I was greeted with a smile. Brought to my room and the friendly communication continued. She asked if I felt comfortable. And all of a sudden my back was moving. A MASSAGING DENTAL CHAIR!!!! She giggled and let me know all of the chairs installed are massage chairs. A perfect way to calm a body prior dental work! I told Doc, "if he could do cleaning and not just specialty dental work so I can come back twice a year for cleaning!" All the equipment is high tech. Amazing investments!! read more

See all

Well folks the reviews and stars don't lie. If I could give more stars I would. Yes, Dr. Dodson and we mustn't forget the office staff are as good as they say. I've lived in Maui most of my life until I moved to Las Vegas and come back several times a year to help my family and maintain my home here. On my current visit I started to get a really bad toothache which I expected might happen because my endodontist in Vegas said I need a root canal or a tooth pulled, but decided to wait until I got back. Long story short I needed a emergency root canal they took me in the next day and did an outstanding job! Oh, did I mention that the tooth that needed the root canal was NOT the one I thought needed one? Yep the dentist in Vegas was wrong! Dr. Dodson found the correct tooth! If you want to know how make an appointment with him and ask him lol. To sum up Dr. Dodson and his staff gets a 12 star from me and I would highly recommend him. Mahalo and Aloha! read more

Dr. Dodson (Clark Kent) is the Superman of dentist NO PAIN, and guided me through my root canal, his hygienists are AMAZING, trusted them equally and if they desire to be future orthodontist I have no doubt they will be brilliant. Highly recommend these kind, skilled, intelligent warm organized team for your dental health. I think they practically saved my brain, I had a severe sinus infection from a broken tooth that became assessed. Make a long story short, I walked out with a smile on my face, confident in this excellent team. We have all been through Hell lately (Lahaina devastated) and they show up and serve our community regardless of personal experience. read more

I got a root canal and I was SO scared. Everyone was so nice. Very professional. Made me so comfortable I barely felt any pain. I'm on day 2 and barely feel any pain. I appreciate that he was nice and quick about it and they gave me medicine on the way out for later. 10/10 love them read more

You can't fake genuine care and concern for the welfare of patients. From the front desk to the (massaging) treatment chair, Dr. Dodson and his lovely staff make you feel welcome, comfortable and secure that you are in excellent hands. The both times I have seen Dr. Dodson -once for a root canal evaluation and once for an emergency- I experienced tremendous care and support. He has the rare gift of really listening to his patients and carefully and thoroughly explaining all treatment possibilities so you feel confident and clear about the procedures. He is also incredibly skilled and gentle. As someone who has had way more than her share of tooth challenges, I've been in a lot of dental chairs in more than a few states. Dr. Dodson, his assistants and front desk staff are among the best I've ever experienced. read more

Dr. Dodson was born and raised here on Maui to a dentist father and dental hygienist mother, so it seems serving Maui with the highest quality endodontic care is in his blood! There is something to be said about generational professions. Sometimes it doesn't work out and a bitter descendent is at best zombie-walking through a profession he or she feels shoe-horned into, and then there are times when it seems something magical has happened in the DNA and the kid just gets it, no questions asked, and reaches ever further heights in the field. I've never had any experience with his father, but if his son is lecturing internationally and nationally and faculty of multiple dental schools, he must've been doing something right, and Dr. Zachary Dodson clearly has a lot of drive and passion to offer the absolute best dental care he can. During my appointment, he paid the utmost respect to my wishes, even when it could have been interpreted as due to ignorance on my part. He was nothing but respectful, kind and patient. Did I mention he was seeing me on a lunch break due to my emergency situation (chunks falling out of multiple teeth!). His entire team was wonderful as well. I didn't catch the name of the assistant, but she was so sweet, as was of course the receptionist, Danielle. Highly, highly recommend this place! read more

Dr. Zachary Dodson was the consummate professional with the perfect bedside manner. I was so nervous and anxiety-ridden for a long overdue root canal. He explained everything every step of the way and remained calm and let me know I was going to be ok. After being terrified for months I left his office feeling cared for and valued. His support staff are equally as kind. read more

Dr. Dodson is knowledgeable, clinically skilled, gentle, and personable. The entire staff are pleasant and professional, great at allaying your anxieties about endodontic procedures. I highly recommend. read more

I've been putting off having a root canal done for a while, the last one I had was so traumatizing. The staff was super friendly and warm, and Dr. Dodson was stellar! Super knowledgeable, and comforting about the whole thing. I think I was sitting in the chair longer waiting for the local anesthetic to kick in than the actual procedure took. It was so quick and painless, I highly recommend this office! read more

Friendly and professional staff. Beautiful office and very accommodating. Felt as if I was at a spa! Doc is very passionate of his work! Would highly recommend. read more

Had an emergency toothache and was referred to Maui Endodonics for a root canal. The dentist Zachary Dodson was professional, caring and made sure I was doing ok throughout the procedure. His assistant was concerned I was comfortable and made the entire experience very pleasant! I highly recommend Zachary and hus team read more

Can't say enough great things about Dr Dodson he's amazing !! My family and I came to Maui for vacation and my partner felt pain in his tooth and I yelped for Endodontics and found Dr Dodson called and scheduled an emergency and of course he needed a root canal ASAP so Dr Dodson prescribed antibiotics for that day and root canal next day. The surgery was less than an hour with his skills and the pain was gone just like Doc said. Thank you so much Maui Endodontics! read more

Absolutely amazing people and location! No one wants to go to have a procedure done, but the people, Dr. Zachary, the cleanliness, and the warmth that they show makes it so much better. Thank you everyone for your amazing smile's, And comfort. We are truly blessed to have you here on Maui! read more

This is one of these experiences where you just say Wow! Came to doctor Dodson for a root canal, was referred by a local dentist on Maui. The overall experience was great. Doctor Dodson is a true professional, informed me about the procedure, cost, recovery. He is on top of his game, very well trained, walked me through every step of what he was doing and what to expect; very delicate, which is important given the nature of root canal procedure. I felt very comfortable during the whole procedure, which was done, efficiently and quickly. If there were more stars I would give more. I wish I had a dentist like that in my home town. This is as good as it gets. read more

I hate and have anxieties in going to the Endodontics but I must say Maui Endodontics made it a calming experience for me. The staff and Dr Dodson is SUPER NICE and very knowledgeable. And they show/love in what they do. Clean and beautiful office and a TV screen on the ceiling of the exam rooms and their dental exam chairs gives you a MASSAGE! read more

My experience at Dr. Dodson's practice was amazing! Very professional and kind staff and I was well taken cared of from the moment I walked in. I had a root canal done and it was quick and I left with no pain. My procedure was done in a comfortable massage chair and I had a tv in my room where I was able to watch Netflix during my procedure. Overall awesome experience and would highly recommend. read more

Dr Dodson and his staff Laarni were incredible, efficient, caring, compassionate. and kind. (Even the young lady at the front desk was terrific).They made me feel calm, relaxed, well cared and they were attentive to my concerns. There equipment, and level of professionalism and knowledge are truly impressive. The result of their work is superb! If you had any lingering anxiety (like me) don't put off your root canal! It was an incredibly better experience, then I could have ever anticipated. We are so fortunate to have this level of care on Maui! read more

After leaving another dentist office with my face half numb still needing a root canal under my crown , I was referred to Dr Dodson. Having high anxiety and never having a root canal procedure done I was a wreck! However, Dr. Dodson and his staff were caring, professional and knowledgeable which eased my nervousness. Not only does he have state of the art equipment, an extremely clean office and a tv in the ceiling where you can watch Netflix, but his skills as a clinician is undeniable! He saved my crown, which in turn saved me $800, when he could have taken the easy way out and let my crown break. Dr. Dodson is truly talented and I am grateful to have found him on Maui, because specialists like him with his caring demeanor is hard to find on this island. read more

My 21-year-old friend Josh had just moved to Maui to go to college. He woke up one Friday morning with a blazing, painful wisdom tooth and he was miserable. Josh did not want a weekend full of pain. New to the island, Josh had not yet established any medical care relationships. I called Dr. Dodson's office and explained that Josh was in some terrible pain. They arranged their appointment schedule to fit Josh in that morning. Upon examination, Dr. Dodson advised Josh that the wisdom tooth needed to be removed and he could do the procedure immediately. Josh's experience with dentistry was limited to the occasional dental cleaning. Oral surgery worried Josh and his apprehension was clearly evident to Dr. Dodson and his staff. Dr. Dodson explained the procedure in step-by-step, reassuring detail for Josh. Notably nervous, Josh agreed to the oral surgery. Dr. Dodson's nurse compassionately watched over Josh during the procedure. The procedure was a success; the pain was gone and Josh was back with his regular smile and a slightly puffy face. read more

I was travelling/holidays in HI and had an emergency root canal, scary under the best conditions. Maui Endodontics was recommended and they were very accommodating in getting me into see them that day. The procedure was nothing like my previous experiences, completely pain free. The entire team made it all a comfortable experience and I can't say enough great things about Dr. Zac Dodson. I Highly recommend their practice, emergency or for your family Dentistry. read more

Just completed my first root canal and despite what others told me, it wasn't that bad at all. I would guess it has to do with Zachary Dodson's professionalism, friendly nature and skill. His team of assistants were also extremely competent and warm. I highly recommend his services! read more

Most Incredible dentist experience I have ever had! Dr. Dodson is thoughtful, precise, articulate, and extremely talented. I was in record level pain from a bad nerve and his staff was able to fit me in the same day even though I was not a previous patient. Who knew a Root Canal procedure could be so pleasant. Im deeply grateful for Dr. Dodson and his professional staff for taking such good care of me and my situation. Im completely in awe and stoked from my experience. Best Experience Ever. Dodson No Ka Oi. Mahalo to you and your staff. read more

While on vacation, suffered a broken tooth. Called at 830 and they got me in at 10. Office staff was very friendly and explained everything to me. The Dr. Was VERY nice. Took the time to explain my options and his recommendation. During the procedure he made sure that I was very comfortable and pain free at all times. Highly recommend them! read more

Dr. Dodson and his staff are amazing! His staff members are all friendly, kind and very professional! They made me feel very comfortable and relaxed leading up to my root canal procedure. Dr. Dodson was excellent, he cuts right to the chase and clearly explained to me exactly what was going on with my root canal procedure and how he would fix it. He was cool, calm and collected during the procedure and kept things positive. Once you've combed through the rest, go with the absolute best, Dr.Dodson!! You'll be glad you did! read more

Dr. Dodson and his staff are AWESOME!!! I was put at ease by the friendly environment and the fact that they had a screen on the ceiling to have we watch something while the work was done just made the experience soooooo much better. What may have felt like a long process elsewhere, felt short but sweet and fun with Dr. Dodson and his staff. Thank you read more

Why isn't there a 6th star? Just had my first root canal and it was so fast, pain free and nothing like the stories of "old". Dr Zach and his staff are exceptionally fun and friendly from the time you walk in the door! Miss Kim there is awesome too! Highly highly recommend Dr. Zach and his team at Maui Endodontics. As long as they are operating, they will be the only option for me! read more

I went in to my regular dentist for emergency work, she ended up being to busy to take care of me and referred me to dr Zachary Dodson, at first I was nervous because I have been getting work done with my regular dentist going on 10 years +. But the care I received once I get there was amazing!! They were very thorough and walked me through all the steps of the procedure and made me feel very comfortable, once the root canal got started the dr noticed that my gums had grown in to the cavity and had to do gum surgery witch he just did it and didn't charge me for it! With everything going on in the world and for him not to know my financial situation I don't think he understands how much that meant to me! All said and done this was the quickest root canal I have ever had! Also his assistant was top notch, I look forward to going back and getting my other issues resolved. Very highly recommended!!! read more
