PATIENT REVIEWS

We absolutely love Dr. Brown and his entire team! From the moment we walk in, everyone is so kind and welcoming. The office itself is beautiful, clean, and has such a calm, cheerful atmosphere. Maria, Gabby, and Angie are always so patient and gentle. They truly make every visit a great experience. All three of my kids actually look forward to going to the dentist, which says a lot! We’ve never had any trouble with appointments or visits. It’s rare to find a dental office that feels this warm and family-friendly. Highly recommend Dr. Brown and his amazing staff!

My daughter recently visited New Leaf Pediatric Dentistry for the first time, and we had a wonderful experience! She has had her teeth cleaned at two other dental offices, but I was never completely satisfied with our experiences. I was looking for a permanent dentist for her, and I’m happy to say we’ve found it at New Leaf. The office is inviting, warm, and spotless, and everyone we met was incredibly friendly. Dr. Brown was super personable and made both my daughter and me feel completely comfortable. My daughter was talking about her visit the entire way home! This practice came highly recommended, and now I see why. We are thrilled to have found our new dentist!

My experience at New leaf was amazing! The entire staff team was so informative , patient , nice and welcoming. Dr. Brown was very excellent with my daughter , he laughed and sang with her and also made her feel super comfortable while she was getting a procedure done. The whole time he explained everything in detail as he went along which helped calm my nerves. The office was very clean . I would recommend this dentist office over and over again.

Dr.Brown and his team were so patient when my child didn’t want to get this teeth cleaned. We just rescheduled for a morning appointment (they said mornings seem to be easier for kids than afternoons). We prepped our kid with lots of videos about going to the dentist and when we went back we had success! Maria, our hygenist was so patient and showed all her tools, and let our kid take a break when he needed it. Dr.Brown came in and was also so patient and showed his tools and got our kid squared away with a cavity and a flouride treatment in record time. So glad I found this practice!

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Dr. Brown and his amazing team at New Leaf Pediatric Dentistry! From the moment we walked in, everyone was warm, welcoming, and so patient with my daughter. They made her feel completely at ease, explained everything in a way she could understand, and went above and beyond to make the experience positive. Dr. Brown is incredibly kind, gentle, and thorough. He truly cares about his patients and takes the time to make sure parents feel informed and comfortable too. My daughter left with a big smile and absolutely no fear about going back, which says it all! Thank you, Dr. Brown and the New Leaf team, for providing such excellent care. I highly recommend them to any parent looking for the best dental experience for their child.
