Trotter John H DDS MS

We were visiting from out of town and my 13-yr old needed an emergency adjustment to his braces. I called Dr. Trotter's office (who we'd never seen before) at 9am, explained my situation, and was immediately offered a 10:00 or 10:30am appointment. We were warmly greeted and treated as if we were regular patients when we arrived by both the staff as well as Dr. Trotter.

His office has great beach vibes, and his bedside manner was great in making my son feel welcome and relaxed. Dr. Trotter made the needed adjustments, and we were on our way in a jiffy. We are very grateful for the friendliness, timeliness, and professionalism we received. Our experience is obviously limited but based on our interaction today, I'd definitely recommend others consider a visit to Trotter Orthodontics.

One of my wires broke while visiting redondo beach. I called and they seen me and replaced my wire within the hour. Free of charge!

Dr. Trotter has a nice support staff who are very gentle with my teeth as they handled maintenance of my braces. They also wear scented gloves which is a subtle touch that I really like about this place. Maintenance was every 2-3 months and they send reminder texts prior to the visit.

I have been impressed with the attention to detail Dr. Trotter and his office has provided. I appreciate the notes mailed home, and the phone call from Dr. Trotter himself to check on my child after his first day of having braces. I'm happy with the choice we made in choosing Dr. Trotter for my child's orthodontic work.

I am disappointed with the results after over 3 years of braces and retainer. Teeth seemed to be pretty well aligned when the braces came off. I was a little concerned about the one tooth that drove me to get braces at 50 plus years old, but was told a retainer with springs would make the final adjustments. I think the issues I have now stem largely from what was a very poorly made retainer and taking off the braces too early. Dr Trotter eagerness to remove my braces convinced me--unfortunately.

My problems today can be largely attributed to a bottom retainer that has pushed a couple teeth out where they weren't previously a problem and lack of the promised final adjustments. I lost the original top retainer which turned out to be a good thing. The original top retainer caused me significant discomfort even after Dr Trotter ground most of it away.

The replacement top retainer fits comfortably after almost no adjustment. There's 2-3 times the material left vs the original. Night and day. I couldn't imagine wearing the original top retainer even just at night for years. It was painful. Funny, I had some dental work done and the dentist asked for my retainer and tried to put it in. He tried to put the old top retainer on the bottom since it was so small and looked like it belonged on the bottom.

He was really surprised it was for the top teeth. After a major investment of money, time, and pain, I'm probably going to have to go back for more orthodontic work somewhere else to correct the problems created by Dr Trotter.

I was referred to Dr. Trotter by my dentist Christina Varwig for a couple of teeth that had shifted. I'm so beyond happy with Dr. Trotter. I decided to go with a retainer to put my teeth back in place at 50 and hilarious to have one again.but I'm thrilled. Dr. Trotter is so kind and I live that they didn't push anything unnecessary on me. I can't recommend him enough.

Given the choice of several Pediatric Orthodontists in the South Bay, my 8 year old daughter chose Dr. Trotter. She felt comfortable with the office, the staff and the demeanor of the doctor. I feel like the office does a good job of turning a process that could be scary and intimidating into one that our child actually looks forward to. We have a long road of treatment ahead, but as a relatively new patient, my child is enjoying being a patient of Dr. Trotter.

Just getting started. Had our first appointment today. Very professionally run office.

I came to Sr Trotter as an adult after having a horrible orthodontics experience as a teen. Dr Trotter laid out all of my options in an easy to understand manner. Throughout my treatment his entire staff has been kind and helpful. I'm so happy with my results! Also, the office is really cute. I highly recommend Dr. Trotter and will be bringing my kid here!

This is an award wining orthodontist practice! Very clean and neatly planned layout. Dr Trotter will give you a game plan and cost of dental work. They make easy payment plans. A fantastic staff! Great text reminders for appointments! Kid-friendly, South Bay style- game room, WiFi, clean and organized! I could be biased because he displays his Matchbox cars like I did my Hot Wheels back in the day!

Dr. Trotter is the best! I went to see Dr. Trotter for a consultation/second opinion because quite honestly, my current orthodontist--let's call him Dr. X, is unable to straighten one slightly crooked tooth! I've had these braces on for 3+ cumulative years and Dr. X simply has no idea how to correct the tooth. I decided to get a second opinion from Dr. Trotter.

He attentively listened to my concerns, then examined my teeth and immediately noticed the problematic tooth. Dr. Trotter is extremely kind and caring.he contacted my orthodontist and offered his findings and professional advice to Dr. X.to straighten my tooth! I'm grateful to Dr. Trotter, who took time from his busy schedule to diagnose and help me with my dilemma. Dr. Trotter's office is in south Redondo Beach, providing his services to discerning patients in the surrounding communities of beach cities and Palos Verdes Peninsula. They no doubt expect highest quality orthodontic services, and Dr. Trotter delivers! He definitely provides highest quality services.he is the best!

Dr Trotter is awesome! Really cares about the kids & works to make sure all is good! All three of my kids have had a great experience with Dr Trotter!

Dr Trotter and his staff are the best! The office is top notch with every amenity possible. The expertise is unmatched and you won't find better service anywhere. Highly recommend!

Dr. Trotter and his team were doing such a great job with my two boys, I decided to get some work done for me. He presented three options each of different lengths of time and different price options. Very pleased with the progress so far. Great vibe in the office, very helpful and efficient staff.

Super friendly service from the office staff to the orthodontist. The waiting area is very nice and the quality of the work is excellent. Although orthodontia is always expensive, they go a long ways to work with people and insurance to find a payment plan that works.

Dr. Trotters team was awesome. My daughter was nervous initially and they explained all details to her at a level she could comprehend. They followed up after our procedure once by phone and an additional time with a detailed treatment plan by mail. I feel very confident that we chose a great dr.

We love this office, and we love Dr. Trotter! My 10 year old son is the patient.and he is the kind of kid that needs to know what is going to happen.and he gets nervous.very nervous. The staff is great, and is so sweet with him.and Dr. Trotter goes above and beyond the call of duty! He tells him, directly, what's going to happen, speaks to him, in a great calm and soothing voice.he is just so great with him. I'm so thankful for the great care we're experiencing at this office. Dr. Trotter even called later that evening to check on my son to see how he was doing. I asked my son, "so, do you think it was a 4 star experience?" And from the nervous patient himself, he said, "no, 5 stars!" Now that's saying something!

My teenage daughter had her braces installed at Dr. Trotter's office. She has had several incidents where she needed her braces adjusted on the weekends and even on one occasion after hours. Dr. Trotter always accommodated her by opening up his office and correcting the problems only teenagers can create. I appreciate his patience and for always going the distance in doing excellent professional work. Thankful and Grateful.

Both my girls have Dr. Trotter as their Orthodontist for the past several years. Recently they both got their braces off and get compliments on their smiles all the time. Dr. Trotter is active and a generous donor of his time in the community. He front desk staff is very friendly. I recommend Dr. Trotter to all my friends.

Son just finished 6 years of ortho with Dr. Trotter. Best experience ever. I have no complaints what so ever. We have been so pleased that we have recommended them to many friends and co-workers. If you are decided between orthodontists, look no further. It doesn't get any better! Office is the most beautiful of any that I have ever been to in my life! We will miss you Dr. Trotter!

My daughter has been going to Dr. Trotter for a while and I really liked his office and facility, with model cars and a tropical beach theme. But what I really liked it is the way explains procedures and how his treatments work, and what to expect. My daughter really likes him too. So when I decided to get my own teeth fixed, I went there too. Again, he explained the process well, and this time I had the experience of treatments.

When I asked detailed questions, about how teeth move around he was very patient and explained in detail. He is amazing and makes it all simple, fast and efficient. Also things move on time, which is not always the case in medical offices. His staff is friendly, cheerful and helpful too. I like that they will text you the day before an appointment to remind you. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing orthodontic work done in the south bay area.

I took my daughter to see Dr. Trotter and she was very apprehensive about seeing an orthodontist. Dr. Trotter was amazing with her, explaining everything he saw in her mouth, what he would be doing in the future and making her feel at ease. My daughter is now actually excited about her future braces! His office was inviting and the staff was wonderful!

If you look up the word "gentle" in the dictionary, you'll find a picture of Dr. Trotter's face.
