*this review contains some “tmi” info, and I’m sharing this in case someone reading this needs a dentist that will ease their extreme anxiety. I hope by over-sharing, someone else might feel less embarrassed about their own hesitations and fears. After a difficult experience with a dentist as a young adult, I had avoided cleanings for an extended period of time (I won’t publicly say how many years it’s been, but “more than half my life” is modest…) I was referred to Dr. Leffler’s office by another patient, who assured me that he was kind and that if anyone could ease my anxieties, it could be his staff. The office felt calm, and it was clear that everyone worked well together to create a low stress environment. I wasn’t the BEST patient, and there was a little crying 😅 but Brittney and Dr. Leffler couldn’t have been more kind to me. Through each step of the appointment, every person I encountered was patient and understanding, and explained everything before and while it was being done. They gave me plenty of time, listened carefully to my concerns, and never invalidated the panic I felt a few times- instead, they offered space and kindness. They worked with me to put together a plan to get my teeth back into good health- there was no sense of being judged or that my anxiety was silly. I highly recommend this office to anyone with past trauma, or who may be needing a gentle hand. I look forward to feeling even better about my next appointment.

This is my first return to my favorite dental office since having moved to a different city for some 20 years. The staff was most welcoming as I expected they'd be, the dental assistant, Britney, expertly cleaning my teeth, and meeting with Dr Leffler was also very rewarding and assured of quality care and tooth protection.
