I am so delighted to have found Dr. Rodriguez. I've had a lifetime of dental work, and it's almost always been very unpleasant. Not so with Dr. Rodriguez. She is extremely skilled, very professional, and surprisingly gentle. The very latest dental techniques used throughout this office make being treated - even for something complex like an implant - not a big deal at all. Simply amazing! Additionally, every single member of her staff are equally talented and so very kind.

I live in Beverly Hills and have been going to several dentist there. I heard no one conducts a more thorough exam than Dr. Rodriquez. Well, I was not expecting an exam like the one I received today. I have never in my life received a more in depth exam. Dr. Rodriquez is straight to the point and has great bedside manner. I sure do wish I would of found her years ago.

I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Rodriguez and her amazing team! From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted by a warm and friendly staff who make you feel completely at ease. The office itself is clean, welcoming, and has a calm, comfortable atmosphere that immediately takes away any anxiety about being at the dentist. Dr. Rodriguez is truly exceptional, not only is she incredibly skilled and knowledgeable, but she’s also one of the kindest and most understanding professionals I’ve ever met. She takes the time to explain everything in a way that’s easy to understand, listens carefully to your concerns, and treats you like a real person, not just a patient. Her gentle approach and genuine compassion make every visit a positive experience. What stands out most about Dr. Rodriguez is her humanistic and humble nature. She genuinely cares about your comfort and well-being, and it shows in the way she interacts with both patients and her staff. You can tell she’s built a team that shares her values of kindness, professionalism, and respect. If you’re looking for a dentist who not only delivers excellent care but also makes you feel valued and understood, I highly recommend Dr

I had a very disappointing experience with Dr. MariaElana Rodriguez and South Bay Prosthodontics due to improper tooling and technique in attempting to remove an implant abutment. Ultimately, their recommendation was to remove the entire implant surgically--something that proved unnecessary after I sought a second opinion whom successfully removed the abutment because he ordered the correct tooling first. Why South Bay Prosthodontics would proceed without proper tooling suggests lack of experience with the implant system and poor judgment to proceed without first checking with the system manufacturer. Concerns with Treatment: The prosthodontist assigned to my case (not Dr. MariaElena Rodriguez, but another doctor on staff, possibly Dr. Ikoma) exhibited noticeable shakiness in her hands, which made me uneasy. While this could have been fatigue, it was early in the morning, and it affected my confidence in the procedure. The office did not have the proper tooling to safely remove the abutment. Instead, significant pulling and force were applied, causing discomfort and unnecessary difficulty - as well as risking damage to the implant. After the initial attempt failed, Dr. MariaEl

Earlier today, I had the pleasure of being treated by Alessandro Rodriguez, DDS. She is the consummate professional and I was extremely pleased with her approach and the final outcome. I have been coming to this dental office for many years and will continue to highly recommend this dental practice for their outstanding patient care, great understanding of complex dental issues and as always, their professionalism.
