PATIENT REVIEWS

I have been looking for a pediatric dentist that's close to home but, more importantly, a smaller, caring practice. We found exactly that here, and our visit was truly amazing. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful, putting my daughter right at ease. One of the things I love most is that parents can be in the back during the appointment, which is such a comfort. The entire office feels clean and inviting. During the visit, I listened to Dr. Brown, and you can instantly tell he has a deep passion for what he does. I even overheard him speaking to another patient and family, genuinely engaging with them, actually asking how family members were doing, and showing a level of sincere care for his patients. I can say with confidence that my daughter has found her pediatric dentist home.

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.

I love this dental office ! As someone who grew up hating the dentist , I really appreciate the warmth, professionalism, and care they offer .The office is always clean , and children oriented. All of the staff is amazing. I’ve been taking my 3 yr old toddler since he was one, and I love the continuity of care that he gets. I feel confident that he will grow to love the dentist (he already does! ) Dr. Brown is amazing , and it shows that he has passion for pediatric dentistry.

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.
