Leisle Greg A, DDS

I took my daughter here when she was little. She was strapped down and scared to death. She had a bruise on her face too. I went back and made them sign something saying the bruise was from them. At the time I was just her foster mom and wasn’t about to lose my child due to their negligence. At the time I had no idea that not being allowed in the room with your child wasn’t normal. Now however I can’t believe I let it happen. It took a long time for my daughter to be comfortable at our new dentist. However, once she realized that she would not be strapped down and that the dentist was patient and caring she did perfectly fine. Please DO NOT ever take your child here. It will definitely traumatize your child and it is just not worth it. Trust me!

I find it interesting so many reviews have been removed from here. I defiantly will not be using Unilocal for my own business if they can not keep reviews straight. As for Dr Leisle and his past services they are and have always been exemplary. 21 years of taking 3 children here and I have seen only caring, knowledgable and concern from the doctor himself. Unfortunately he saw children of all ages, all income levels and with those children come parents. Some who simply have a grudge and if you look at their other reviews you will find people like two on here who simply hate most things they review. Interesting how they hide their actual identities as well. I really loved he one who claimed they came years and years ago yet he showed a recent picture of the kids who looked no more than maybe 3 or 4 and a boy a few years older. Please do understand that YES there were policies that parents signed prior to treatment appointments being made that addressed the use of a papose. The office actually referred to it as a blanket they would wrap the child in. This was done to my children when they were young as well, but if they were calm they would unwrap them. I read complaints saying the doctor was mean and that he told the kids to be quiet. Yes the Dr would ask the kids to be quiet if they were screaming, which some kids do. Dr Leisle often treated handicapped children, children that other doctors refused to treat, kids who had terrible experiences at other offices and were refused to be treated there anymore. So yes, we did hear crying at times or screams. Much like a visit to the pediatrician when a child gets a shot. Last time I checked most children do not sit there happily, quietly and over joyed to receive a shot. Most cry and scream some. As for the person who claimed the doctor did not give anything for a tooth to be pulled; I say they are a liar. Read the entire story. Sounds like a compete made up fabrication, and convenient, y they gave no dates, stretched the truth about the age of the kids, and wrote the PIECE of work after the office had closed its doors. Why? So the office could not respond of course. If I as a parent had such a terrible experience at an office and was genuinely concerned for my child’s welfare and that of other children as this fool tried to make themselves out to be, then WHY wasn’t the complaint written when it supposedly first took place and not years later as it stated? Why? I would suggest because it’s a lie. Plain and simple. Again note the writer gives no real name. No dates. Another piece of work they wrote for another business was scathing as well. I would love to know how such a person could remember such specific detail years later as they claim to. Down to specifics that were supposedly said. What a joke. Please do your research and look at actual doctor rating sites. Do not take the fabricated words of this person to mean anything. Dr Leisle is a wonderful doctor who provided dentistry for children of all ages and incomes for years in the community. He donated dentistry to many children in need as well. As many of you know, not all children behave in a calm manner. Some are more wild than others and yet he did not turn any away that I ever saw due to the child’s unwillingness to get their teeth cleaned or fixed. To be judged falsely by a unnamed person who can’t even be bothered to post when this supposed visit happened is ridiculous to say the least. R.C. Seems ridiculous, yet I must say has a fabulous imagination. Kudos on that fancy imagination there R.C. As for T.C., again no real name here, I can understand the fear when a child breaks the front teeth. My own son did this at 2 and we did have to have one front tooth removed. Yes he was in the baby blanket or papose as they call it. Did he suffer from this memory? No. Did the tooth grow back? Yes. Did he cry? Yes, but he loved that office until he had to leave due to being to old. All in all I think a doctor that serves his community for this long, donating time and energies into serving the needs of families who can not sometimes afford dentistry, traveling to other countries to donate time and dentistry as well is a man who cares about children and what he does. RC or TC can either of you say when you last donated anything besides your complaint?

I will NEVER take my child here again. The front desk and fun kids area was nice, but I was not happy with the dentist. He seemed like he didn’t care. As a parent you want somebody to at least act like they like your kid before they do a procedure on them. My son was 5 and had fallen and hit his front baby teeth on the cement. The teeth pretty much turned gray and the teeth died. I was told they had to come out asap and they wanted to do a root canal. Then when my son was to go back they would put him in a papoose to hold him down. I wasn’t able to go in the room either which I didn’t like. How do I know if they will stop if he can’t calm down. I have never been to a dentist like that. That is enough to scare a child away from the dentist for good. If I ever hear anybody mention this place I tell them to look for another place that will try and make it positive experience for your child.

PLEASE BEWARE! I’m very, very sad I let my child go through this experience. We left our dentist of 4 years to go to Dr. Leisle because my workplace switched insurance. Dr. Leisle’s staff is great, office is clean and beautiful! BUT, he is an aggressive dentist. We went to get ONE tooth pulled because he said it was no use filling it but he pulled out another molar along with the one that we had planned to pull. His excuse was that it’ll grow when she is 10 – 11 years old. She’s only 5 years old. I was not told that a second one will be pulled, he said it was a last minute decision. AND he didn’t even use anything to help numb her gums. Nothing! I asked him why and he said «she’s a tough cookie, she can handle it». It was her second time going there… he doesn’t even know my child! I’m sure that it will hurt him also if I was to pull two teeth without any numbing medication. Right when she saw me she burst into tears and he tells her «shush, it doesn’t hurt». She has been going to the dentist since her first tooth and she has never cried before. They don’t allow parents back in the rooms while they are working on their teeth. During our first visit the staff tells me that they will strap kids down «if they make a fuss». To my surprise my child was also strapped down. I asked the staff why my daughter needed to be strapped down and the staff says «she was very good but we do it just in case». I told her that the other staff said they will only strap down kids if they make a fuss. She said they do it regardless. My poor child! I was upset and took her X-​rays and her teeth to get a second opinion. The second dentist that I saw said that my daughter only needed fills. It was not necessary for Dr. Leisle to pull both teeth. Worst experience ever. Please, please beware. Don’t let your child go through this experience.

My 9 yr old son had his first visit here 2 months ago. The reception area is great for kids with a tank that had geckos inside and a little climbing structure that looks like a pirate ship! The dental hygienist was wonderful with my son, patient with him and did a great job cleaning his teeth. Dr. Leslie examined my son as soon as she had finished cleaning and he really is wonderful at interacting with children, examining them and talking with parents to let them know what’s going on. The office is very clean and the staff was wonderful!
