I have been a patient of Dr. Rodger Uchizono for...well...I can't remember!!upon receiving the news that Rodger retired I figured I would need to find a new dentist...(Dr. Rodger...how could you leave me??) Well, he didn't really. He introduced me to Dr. Russell Uchizono. Of course I was a bit hesitant, but booked my next appointment with Dr. Russell Uchizono!! What I have to say to Dr. Rodger...Thank you for the introduction to Dr. Russell!! I feel as confident with his dentistry as I did with yours!! You are both AMAZING dentists... Thank you Sue Rubio-Allen read more

A friend highly recommended Dr. Uchizono, and even though it's a long drive for me, it's absolutely worth it. I've never experienced ANY practice, medical or dental, so well run. From the front office to the hygienist, assistants, and Dr. himself, everyone is outstanding at what they do and friendly too. Pricing is reasonable, and they don't push unnecessary procedures like some larger dental practices do. I'm happy to drive over an hour for a great dentist and an awesome team. read more

I've never feel so good in a dentist office. They are beyond professional. They were kind and genuine. We had two appointments already there and both times were amazing. My son was very nervous in the beginning, but Dr. explained step by step the process of the procedure and my son was very relax. read more

"It doesn't get any better. I love Russell! He has saved me so many times. I've been going to Rodger for over 15 years, and now Russell is just as good. My whole family is lucky to have found them." read more

Been coming here for over 25 years. Always been treated with respect and fair pricing. I wouldn't go anywhere else

My family has been going to Dr Uchizono (Rodger for many years and Russell for the past many years) for 30+ years! We could not have made a better choice! While the doctors are excellent in what they do, the wonderful service starts when you contact them. Everyone in the office is nice! They continuously go above and beyond to provide you with a great experience! Thank you for the many years of wonderful service. read more

Great dentist, very caring and accommodating as I am fearful! Definitely recommend this dental office!

Dr. Russell seems to be a good dentist who is very kind and reassuring to his patients, explaining their conditions well and providing necessary prescriptions. He also explains the treatment process rationally, discussing it with his patients, and provides accurate treatment read more

I've been with Drs. Uchizono (Russell and Rodger) for over a decade and they are truly the caring and exceptional dentists that you would want taking care of you. They treat you like family and that's how you'll feel here. I cannot say enough great things about Dr. Uchizono. Highly Recommend!! read more

Uchizono Rodger K,DDS - Xmas card photo wall, lots of smiling faces. - General Dentistry Near Me - Irvine, California

I started to go to Dr Uchizono when I had to get my crown put back while my dentist was on vacation. He did it without charging! He is truly a caring dentist and take an approach that is more patient centric! Then my husband started to go to them. Roger's nephew Russell is now in charge. Russell is also smart, caring, friendly, knowledgeable! He explains pros and cons on every treatment and empower us with knowledge to make good decisions. Office staff are super nice too! You can tell that they were treated well by the employer. I'm bringing my kids to Dr Uchizono now they are a bit older. Be aware that Dr Uchizono gets booked way in advance. So it is a must to call two months prior to the route check up and cleaning. But they will squeeze you in for emergency. read more

Dr. Russell Uchizono is terrific. I had a chipped tooth and his office managed to fit me in the very next day. Dr. Uchizono is an excellent dentist and a nice person. My tooth looks as good as new. I'll definitely be back. read more

I had an entire conversation with him specifically to ask him about something, and he repeatedly said that what I was asking about couldn't happen, and later he denied it and insisted vehemently that he would never say that. He actually argued with me about something I heard him say repeatedly for an entire conversation that was specifically for that. Seems to have severe neurological issues. I'm talking about Dr Rodger Uchizono. Can't be trusted. read more

I have been a patient of the previous lead dentist, Dr. Rodger Uchizono, for about 30 years, and I am so happy (and relieved!) that the level of care, consideration, expertise and advice has not changed since Dr. Russell took over the practice. I couldn't be happier with the care received from both! Most recently, a crown (that dated back to the 80's) popped off. Dr. Russell got me right in to take care of it. The old gold crown was in terrible condition (with holes in it!) so he sent it home for me so I could keep or cash in on the gold, and made me a temporary. The temporary was causing me some problems so I went back the next day and he adjusted it and no more problems. He's just as good as Dr. Rodger. I have referred several friends and family members to this practice and everyone love them too. Highly recommend! read more

I came to Dr. Russell Uchizono after going through two dentists that did not take the necessary care and attentiveness to diagnose my mother's toothache. Dr. Russell Uchizono treated my mom's toothache caused by a cavity. His office scheduled my mom in last minute so she wouldn't have to suffer over the holidays. The care, diligence and tenacity with which the doctor diagnosed my mother was truly remarkable. He was present in the moment, willing to listen, and take a properly thought out approach. He also followed up after hours to check in on how she was doing. I would highly recommend Dr. Uchizono if you want to experience quality dental care. read more

These will be the nicest and most competent people your teeth will ever meet! I have "complicated" teeth and these folks are top notch!

Dr Russell is doing a great job! (Of course miss Dr. Roger) had a tricky tooth problem. Dr. Russell gave it a good diagnosis. Been a patient for more than 30 years. Travel from LA to go there. No plans to stop. They are all great ( kudos to Kevan, Grace and my diligent hygenist!) read more

Amazing staff! I needed a last minute appointment to use my dental insurance benefits before it expired so I reached out to this office. To my benefit, there was a last minute cancelation so Graciela reached out to me to fill out patient history forms and new Covid precautions via email. During my visit, Graciela took my temperature and Carol immediately took me into a room to take some x-rays. Carol, the hygienist throughly cleaned my teeth as I was there for a routine cleaning. She was super sweet and I love that she was informative on how to care for my teeth and gums. I was greeted by Dr. Russell Uchizono who was very caring and efficient with my exam. He said I had great teeth! Overall, I'm glad I came to this office because the staff was very efficient and very nice. I'm glad I found this gem! read more

Waste of time and money. You'd think an office like this would have more modern tech but they couldn't even give me an X-ray that accurately showed the extent of my roots/nerves that are under my teeth. Staff was really fake nice too, starting a casual convo with you just for it to end in a sales pitch. Never go here. read more

After receiving a dubious diagnosis for my daughter from another dentist, I decided to get a second opinion by Dr. Russell Uchizono. He is extremely knowledgeable and took the time to thoroughly explain how her current condition did not warrant an unnecessary intervention. My family has switched to his care due to his profound honesty and competence. If you need a trustworthy dentist, your search stops here. read more

Love Dr Uchizuno. Been going to him for 20+ years. Now his nephew has taken over the practice and uncle really taught him well (and school ). If you're looking for a dentist, look no further! read more

Love Roger and his nephew Russell. Great, fast, efficient dentists.

Dr. Russell Uchizono is the best there is. He never pushes or pressures, and always puts patients' needs first. I've been going here for years, and am always impressed with how efficient, knowledgable, and genuinely empathetic he and his staff are. Big fan. read more

This office is the BEST! I Dr. Roger has taken care of my family and I for a long time. He truly cares about his patients and you feel it in the office. I highly recommend this office. I have high anxiety when it comes to any kind of dental work. I had to get a lot of work done today and I had Dr. Russell. I can't thank him enough for turning my dreaded dental appointment to the best experience today! He calmed my fears and was so comforting. He was so patient and positive with me the whole appointment. I have a new outlook thanks to him! If your looking for a dentist, this is the best office by far:) read more

Always so attentive; friendly staff, they are considerate of your time, open on Saturdays, and they never push to get services you DONT need, because they're not greedy. The entire staff is excellent; they are so thorough and care if you're in pain. I would recommend them to anyone. read more

Rodger, Russell and their staff are so amazing! I can't speak highly enough about their kindness, expertise and professionalism in restoring my teeth. They are simply the best and an inspiration - I am forever grateful for you. I don't even think twice about driving up from San Diego - they are the best and worth every mile many times over. Look no further! Thank you, thank you, thank you! Rick H. read more

Thank you for putting my mouth back together to look better than is has in years. Even though I don't have any insurance, it was worth every penny. Thanks for calming my nerves and having patience with me. I really have had awful experiences with other dentists! read more

My tooth broke and I made an appointment from the Yelp reviews I had read. When I got to the office I saw Dr. Russell and was so happy to have such a pleasant dental experience. He did a filling and it was done. Before I went in I thought they will do a crown and it will cost me a lot of money. He made me feel welcome and relaxed. The next time I went back I met Dr. Rodger and once again, he just welcomed me and said we want to save you money. So even though I have insurance I am going back for an extraction, bone graft and implant with Dr. Russell. He is well trained and can do anything. read more

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! read more

Dr. Russell Uchizono treated my chipped tooth 29 today. A professional approach, friendly staff & assistants. Highly recommend this dental office. As 5* is perfect and Half star is not available, this is the closest I wish to bestow on this professional office. read more

Excellent dentist! Couldn't be more pleased with the whole office. I've been going there for a very long time

Old dentist retired and I started to see Dr. Russell. Very smart, friendly, and caring person. He even gave me a call today to see how I was doing after my visit on Saturday. Hopefully he will not be retiring anytime soon. read more

I have been coming to Rodger since I think 1985. I had a toothache and he came in on his day off to see a new patient and perform a root canal and crown. Even when I moved out of the state to MA, SC, and Florida, whenever I was back in CA visiting, I would make an appointment to see him. He not only sees me and my husband, but my daughter, her husband and children. Three generations! I love him and would recommend him to everyone and have! Linda Watkins read more

Dr Rodger is an outstanding dentist and is confident, very informative, caring, genuine and humble. He found out my tooth has an infection and his entire staff were very professional, accommodating and welcoming. His X-ray technician Lucy, son Kellen, staff Grace and Christine- great individuals! They're all generous with their resources. They and other patients have contributed to a dental office, building for over 8 years and now provide healthy oral care to families in Baja California. Very impressed with their treatment of me and of others. As you can see the walls are filled with the love of their patients- their kids photos, Christmas cards, and happy smiling people. What an investment they've given to the community and an overflow of blessings are received. May they continue to reap wonderful results as they nurture their patients day by day! read more

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! read more

I found Dr. Rodger Uchizono 35 years ago by calling 1/800-DENTIST asking for a good dentist near my new home in Woodbridge/Irvine. I wanted a dentist with Open hours on Saturday so as not to take time off work during weekdays. Turns out I hit gold with Dr. Uchizono. He has the softest gentle touch. And talks to you as an intelligent adult, explaining each step he will take on the procedure. Outstanding is the word. Recently he was not available so his nephew worked on me that day. Looks like it runs in the family. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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 yelp 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 yelp for helping me find such a treasure. Without yelp, it would be so much more difficult to find such an outstanding, sincere, and dedicated health care professional. read more

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. read more

I received a recommendation to check out this dental practice. Both Dr. Russell and Dr. Rodger are skilled and exceptionally caring. My experience is that they do what is in your best interest and take the time to make it happen. I highly recommend this office. read more
