Dr. Rodig originally lived in Hilmar with his parents before graduating from Northern Arizona University with a Bachelors of Science Degree in Biology in 1984. He then continued with his studies by attending the University of The Pacific School of Dentistry where he graduated in 1988 with his Doctor of Dental Surgery Degree.
After practicing in Modesto for several years, Dr. Rodig moved to Turlock in 1996 to begin his own practice providing the community with expert dental care. In 1998 Dr. Rodig began his studies at the Prestigious Las Vegas Institute for Advanced Dental Studies, where among other learning institutions, he has taken hundreds of hours of continuing education each year and completed courses in smile makeovers, anterior and posterior cosmetic fillings, Neuromuscular Dentistry, and Dental implants, as well as sedation (sleep) dentistry. One look on the wall of Dr. Rodigs office will show you all he has accomplished becoming a true asset to the community and the dental profession.
While still providing all aspects of dentistry to his patients, there is no question that his expertise lies in Aesthetic Dentistry and Dental Implants. In fact he is among the top 2% of all dentists in Northern America to achieve the status of a Master Aesthetic Dentist.
When not transforming smiles or attending dental courses, you can find him relaxing at home with his wife, Amy, a Dental Hygienist and their three young children, Kyle, Julia and Jessica. He also enjoys building computers, playing basketball and other outdoor physical activities.
