Dr Dodd has the worst "chair-side" manner. As a healthcare professional myself I do understand the importance of doctor/patient relationships. There have been 2 incidents that have occurred that has led to this review.
He is rude, late to his appointments (30 minutes one time), and condiscending to his patients. I thought it might be me but I've witnessed it with other patients and have spoken with one of them outside his office who agrees. it's bad enough to have to go to the dentist; I don't expect the Dr to make the visit more unpleasant. In 5 years of every 6 months cleaning and no cavities or dental issues, I would expect that I would have some repore with him (just like the other dentists that I've had for the last 40 years). I don't need him to be my best friend but at least don't treat me like he's doing me any favors. I should have left his practice several years ago when he acted the same way but I gave him the benefit of the doubt. When you get your teeth cleaned, you will never see him. Only the hygienist, not even for a minute (the hygienist is usually the strongest link in the office). The office workers are fine as well. One last thing... please Dr Dodd, turn the music in the office down! It's juvenile.
About Hygienist: There has been a different hygienist almost every time I've been there.
