Alice Leung, DMD

I have used more than 5 dentists in the past and none is as caring and careful as Dr. Leung. My family has been going to her for a number of years now and never had an unpleasant experience. We recommend Dr. Leung highly.

Dr Leung is very patient with kids. My 3 year old and 6 year old love going to the dentist because of her. She takes her time, knows how to work with kids and is a very nice person.

I’ve been recommending Alice to the dentally anxious for some time. The more severe the anxiety, the more pleasure I take in recommending her.
Alice will never make you feel bad about the state of your teeth. I suspect the fact that her original client base was largely Chinese may have something to do with this. She is also a first-​rate hand-​holder and conversationalist. During my last visit, we had a philosophical discussion about arcade games, of all things. Alice revealed her hardcore love of Pacman, and confided her reluctance to expose her own kids to games with a reset button.
–I mean, where’s the integrity in a reset button, she said.
If that isn’t the kind of person you want working on your teeth, I don’t know what is. For me, it not only spoke volumes about Alice’s seriousness, but conclusively dispelled any Nazi-​dentist associations that malingered in my subconscious. Should you try Alice, I suspect that you’ll experience a similar reconstruction of your dentist stereotypes.
As time marches on (10 years in our case) Alice serves as a sweet touchstone to the scads of people whom I referred to her — from my ex-​mother-​in-​law to a member of the Psychedelic Furs I dated in 2006. It’s a corny, small-​world feeling that’s rare here in the big city, but one that says a lot about her practice.
Entering Alice’s office — with its warm staff of hygienists and healthy supply of gossip mags — can be downright soothing. I won’t say that it’s like a spa, or anything (although if that’s your bag, see my review of my ob/​gyn Christina Señor) — but there’s an easygoing feel to the place.
You’ll also get a goody bag — very important for a child of 33.
Note: i do not have dental insurance. I therefore pay about $ 200 – 300 OOP to Alice for regular cleanings and x-​rays. At less than $ 1 a day, it’s never been something I thought twice about. I’ve got the decay-​free choppers to prove it.
