I've been going here for a few years now, and every time, I receive expedient, highly competent care. All personnel in the office are knowledgeable and friendly. Highly recommended! read more

After being diagnosted with sleep apnea, & not wanting to deal with all the devices offered, I found out that Dr. Rothchild's office offered an oral device that corrects this problem! It has been such a blessing. After an initial adjustment, it was easy to sleep with, & when traveling, it is so easy to carry in a small plastic container. They also provide the testing in the office for the diagnosis of sleep apnea! read more

Paid cash for my crown which he tried to put the temporary on permanently. Had to go back several times because it was rough and not the crown I paid $2000 cash for. Then to add insult to injury it fell off when I was on vacation less than 2 yrs later and I was told this was normal. I went back when I got back to town and had them put it back on. He was mad about it so he layered and layered it with glue. You should see the x-ray. I refused to pay for something that should of been done right the first time. Needless to say I never went back and never will. Not worth it. read more

Best dentistry I've ever had! You can spend money going cheap on dentistry, and have stuff done over and over, or go to this guy once and get it done right. The entire staff is wonderful. Good dental cleanings. So thorough. Dr. Rothchild is a wonderful person, and a great health professional. He communicates extraordinarily well. I like that he takes his time going over your case, and emails with a plan that you can look over and figure out what you can afford, and how to proceed. We went sequentially, and spread out the dental care over several months, so I was able to afford all that I needed. My mouth is better than it's ever been since I've been seeing him. I have some chronic health issues, and he takes this into account. He addresses the whole person, whole health, all along the way. read more

From the moment I walked in the door I knew this place was special. Greeted with a smile and called by name is impressive for someone that has a bit of anxiety in a dental office. I love the holistic options I have with Dr. Rothchild. I've had years of health problems that probably started in my mouth but no one has ever explained it to me as thoroughly and thoughtfully as Dr. Rothchild. I'm actually looking forward to this dental experience. read more

Dr. Rothchild is my favorite dentist ever! And he has great, friendly staff all around him! I had a voluntary extraction (to get rid of an old infected root canal on a front tooth) and a bridge, essentially a new porcelain tooth, put in. First of all he is friendly and warm with a good sense of appropriate humor. But even maybe more important, you can see the pride he takes in his work: he spent 2 hours working on getting the new tooth in just right, sanding it down, painting it to match the other teeth, and the final result looked much better than the original! And I could the pride satisfaction he felt when it was completed, which made me feel good! No wonder he is voted Durango's best dentist. read more

We went to Dr. Rothchild for the last 2 years we lived in Durango. He is a great dentist and we miss him now that we moved away! He gives very thorough care and everything is state of the art. Dr. Rothchild is not only knowledgeable about dentistry, he has a lot of knowledge about the health and wellness for your body as a whole. We really enjoyed the staff and front desk as well. I highly recommend this dental office. read more

Dr. Rothchild is by far the most comprehensive dentist that I've ever been to. At Dr. Rothchild's office, they take a holistic approach to dentistry. They believe that a healthy mouth effects the whole body. They focus on educating the patient about the best paths to get their mouth healthy and then maintain that health. I can honestly say that I've never been this happy with my dentist. Dr. Rothchild and his holistic approach are something that we here in Durango are very lucky to have. read more

I went to Dr. Rothchild because my prior dentist was an average dentist but not that concerned about my gums and my bite (go figure!). I was having trouble with my gums and Dr. Rothchild said that sometimes a poor bite can cause pockets in the gums. Honestly that didn't make that much sense to me but I was willing to try something new since my extensive homecare wasn't getting me anywhere. At the next visit he adjusted my night splint (I should have remembered to take it the first visit) and went over the treatment plan. It seemed like a reasonable price, something I could live with. The first step was to get a cleaning and test the bacteria in my gum pockets. Now the interesting thing is that between the Monday appointment when he adjusted my night splint and Wednesday night, I realized that my gums were doing better!!!!! I kept my Thursday cleaning appointment and was VERY pleasantly surprised that my bacteria was healthy and that I don't need to have more than 2 cleanings a year! Everyone was clear and professional, every step of the way from the front desk, hygienist, chair assistant, and Dr. R. In my experience the really good dentists don't take insurance and Dr. Rothchild doesn't either but his staff did file my visit the day that they got the insurance info. As expected, the insurance didn't pay a lot but the improvement in my gums and peace of mind was well worth the additional cost to me. read more

This guy is truly amazing. I had severe tooth pain for two years and 3 other dentists couldn't find anything wrong. I was finally in so much pain that I couldn't function. Dr. Rothschild was the only doctor that would see me since all the others I contacted thought the pain was all in my mind. He spent about an hour running tests and numbing my mouth nerve by nerve to narrow down where the pain was coming from. He finally found it - the second molar on the lower right was fractured. When he finally extracted it a few days later, he saw that it was fractured all the way to the root, so that air and changes in temperature and pressure were DIRECTLY hitting the nerve. If I ever have another serious dental issue I will come here in a heartbeat...even after I move back to Hawai'i. I'd rather get a flight to Colorado to see Dr. Rothschild than go to an incompetent dentist and endure another two years of debilitating pain. read more

In 2016, I became a patient of Rothchild to initially address my 3 mercury amalgams + 4 cavitations from wisdom teeth removal. After tests, 3Dscan & xrays, he determined only 1 cavitation had a problem. He did surgery on the cavitation as well as removed the mercury amalgams & put in composites. In Dec 2018, from his insistence to have Chao Pinhole gum surgery (my gum measurements 3's & 1's), I did that surgery without conscious sedation, only novacaine. And, yes it was traumatic & painful during the surgery and for months afterwards. An infection developed the first week. Rothchild had put a stitch where my gum tore during surgery. He then put me on an antibiotic that I told him I am allergic to. I had horrible reactions. At my final f/up visit, Rothchild told me I have to live w/ the pain & new problems. After that, I pursued a holistic DDS dentist for repair surgery who also does the pinhole surgery (as well as conscious sedation during surgery & natural techniques to facilitate healing). After this new dentist's evaluation, he said I was not a good candidate for pinhole gum surgery. The new dentist discovered mercury still in one area where Rothchild "removed' the mercury AND all 4 cavitations had infections, including the one Rothchild worked on. The new dentist's repair gum surgery has gone well & I can smile again w/out pain. I wrote a letter to Rothchild (cc/rr) & never heard back from him even with phone contact to his office staff. This has been extremely painful, traumatic, and expensive. Everyone please get a 2nd opinion no matter HOW NICE THE DENTAL OFFICE TREATS YOU. My story has many more details that are not favorable of Rothchild. If I could give a zero star review I would. This has been my experience with Rothchild in 2+ years. In the beginning I felt it was a great place and referred 8 people to his office. As far as I am concerned, this was medical violence and incompetency. Sending dental wellbeing to everyone.

My name is Terri Beecher I am a retired Dental Hygienist from Pagosa Springs, CO. I used to suffer constantly with fibromyalgia, migraines, constant need for chiropractor adjustments and hormone imbalances. Thanks to the help of my chiropractor Lauren Cohen, I found some significant improvement with cutting out foods I was allergic to, endocrine supplements and some stress/emotional management tools but I still struggled with all of those things. After awhile Lauren suggested maybe the 2 root canal teeth I had might be driving the problems. I was blessed to find Dr. John Rothchild a holistic dentist in Durango, CO! He carefully and safely removed what turned out to be very diseased root canal teeth (that weren't bothering me), all my amalgam fillings (to get rid of the mercury) and made an amazing splint to balance my bite all which has further improved my quality of life! Aside from what Dr. Rothchild did for me I really enjoyed learning about his vast knowledge on not only dentistry but many alternative health related subjects. Dr. Rothchild is an amazing dentist, the Albert Einstein of human dentistry! He is constantly learning, improving and a dedicated, kind, compassionate human being!! I would have loved to have learned from him and worked with him as a hygienist! I would highly recommend Dr. Rothchild as your family dentist!!! read more

John Rothchild is truly an excellent dentist. I appreciate his holistic approach to oral health and its connection to total body health, but that is only one reason I go to him for my dental care. Dr. Rothchild's expertise and caring demeanor put me at ease from the first visit, and his staff is very friendly and professional. His office is beautiful, relaxing and innovative. I would highly recommend Dr. Rothchild to my friends and family and have done so, he's amazing! read more

Yeah!!! What a great experience I just had! Dr. replaced an old ugly filling that I had done by a previous dentist that always made me feel self conscious. You cant even tell that there is even a filling there! Thank you so very much Dr. Rothchild you are simply the best!!!! read more

I found Dr. Rothchild after being hospitalized for an infection in my jaw untreated by my former dentist. He has singlehandedly restored my faith in dentists again. His acupuncture techniques and colored glasses leave me calm and peaceful even during a root canal. His calm and kind presence and his level of skill can't be praised enough. He has techniques and equipment that are state of the art. The ozonation of the area has kept my extractions free of infection and pain. He has the ability to make crowns in office, in your mouth before you leave, no messy impressions, he simply scans your mouth with a camera and designs your crown.. I have had laser to stimulate bone growth, root canals, extractions, crowns, treatment for gum disease, you name it! Dr. Rothchild and his staff have become family, they make me feel loved and comforted and it is truly pleasant to go to the dentist now. I feel blessed to have this caliber of Dentistry available to me. I can't say enough about Dr. Rothchild and his amazing staff.. read more
