Dr. Leone is the best. Super skilled, super smart, very reasonable, conservative when recommending procedures, attentive to your comfort while in the chair, up to date on modern techniques and methods, and keeps detailed records to monitor your dental health over time. I rarely recommend anything to anyone but she really is a great dentist. read more

I've been going here for two years and have finally had enough. The doctor is fine, her staff is terrible. I would suggest that they take a customer service class because they're literally rude, especially if anything goes wrong. And whatever you do, if you choose to go to this dentist (even though there of TONS of others you could go to that have friendly accommodating staffs!), DON"T EVER miss an appointment, even if you have to go to the ER or fly out of town on an emergency, because they will charge you for what your insurance would have paid for. And then to add insult to injury, if you cancel twice within two years because of unavoidable situations, they threaten you by explaining that cancelling two appointments over a period of two years is "cause for dismissal". If you want to risk being treated like a naughty child at the principal's office, and/or an unwanted step child because you had to cancel the day before for unavoidable reasons, I would not recommend this office. However, if this kind of treatment gets you off, or if you're positive you'll never have to cancel for any reason, you may consider going. I wouldn't even be so upset about paying cash for an appointment I couldn't go to if anyone had even feigned polite or sympathetic behavior. Good luck finding a dentist! read more

Being a dentaphobe, I dread going to the dentist more than anything. Luckily, I found Dr. Leone! The office is small and serene, with calming music playing in the background. Everyone is very welcoming and I felt at ease right away. The first thing you're asked is to fill out a preferences form, where you can choose to have headphones, a hand massage, nitrous oxide, a paraffin hand treatment, or a smoothie. On my first visit, I went directly into Dr. Leone's office where she asked me about my dental history and my preferences. Then I got my xrays and had my teeth cleaned (while watching Regis & Kelly and getting a hand massage!), and Dr. Leone did that thing where they measure your gums with that pokey instrument. Every other time I've had that done I ended up bloody and squirming in pain. With Dr. Leone, I barely even noticed she was doing anything! She even explained all the numbers I would be hearing and that anything higher than a 3 would be cause for concern. She then went over my xrays and laid out a treatment plan for me. Now after my second visit, I'm even more impressed. First of all, everytime I've been numbed, the worst part of the whole dental experience is the numbing itself. That dang needle hurts so bad! But Dr. Leone's assistant, Alison, numbed me with the gel so well that I didn't even feel the needle! Also, I've had this gunk on the back of my teeth for ten years from an old orthodontic retainer that fell out a year after it was put in. I've been to three different dentists and asked if they could get rid of it. Only one of them attempted to sand it down, but it didn't make any difference. Dr. Leone got rid of it just like that! And it wasn't even at my request! I also had three fillings removed and replaced, which is never any fun, but being able to channel surf (they give you the remote) and crank the volume on the TV to drown out the scary noises was a great distraction. Dr. Leone (and Alison) also did a great job of making sure I knew everything that was coming and warning me ahead of time if there would be any noises or if I would feel any pressure. And finally, another great aspect of this practice is the convenience of making and confirming appointments through email... AND receiving text message reminders about upcoming appointments. So, because of all this, I give Dr. Leone 5 stars. This place is awesome... even from a dentaphobe's perspective. read more

I've been a patient of Dr. Leone's since moving to Seattle in 2010. She's great -- highly skilled, empathetic, and conservative in her management of dental issues. The office is efficient; they are on time, and each person adds to the positive experience of being a dental patient. I highly recommend Dr. Leone; she's the best dentist I've ever had. read more

Always a great experience - as usual. Amy does a wonderful job and is very gentle. Dr. Leone is very thorough and professional. Well worth the drive across Seattle in rush hour traffic. See you in 6 months... read more

I walk past Dr. Leone's office every day on my way to the office. Earlier this week I broke a tooth and needed immediate help due to a pending trip out of the country. I gave the office a call and was sitting in a chair and being checked out within two hours! Dr. Leone and her staff were kind, helpful, and gentle. I'm not the best dental patient due to some bad experiences as a child many decades ago. They took great care of me and I am looking forward to becoming a regular. read more

awesome service, great dentist and practitioners, superb results. Thank you!

Everything you could want in a dentist! Seattle's top secret Dentist to the stars...

Dr. Leone is an awesome dentist. On top of general dentistry, she also provides Zeomin treatments (to minimize fine lines, help with muscles associated with TMJ, etc) I had the "angry 11's" in between my eyebrows done, as well as above the brows. It was quick and painless. Dr. Leone's gentle touch is much appreciated inside the mouth and out! She cares about each guest having a positive, high quality experience. I would recommend this office to anyone! read more

Love going to Melissa Leone! She cares about her clients and does everything to make you feel comfortable! Melissa's happiness is contagious as well and you always walk out feeling great! read more

I was nervous about going to a new dentist after recently moving to Seattle. Dr. Leone was great, and explained everything clearly about where I need to improve on my home care. My hygienist (Amy I think) was super friendly and did a great job. read more

I am one of those people who is rather dental-phobic and have a very uncomfortable and stressful experience in the dental chair. Dr. Leone was recommended to me through family, so I made the switch. I could not have been more happy with the experience! From the moment I walked into her office, I was put at ease. She and her staff were outstanding. I could not offer higher praise for the level of service and care I received. read more

Dr. Leone is a fantastic dentist who creates a warm, inviting space in her office. With an extremely professional, competent, and attentive staff, each patient feels welcomed during their appointments. Dr. Leone makes a point of seeing one patient at a time and her undivided attention pays big dividends in the quality of care. To add to this attention, her thoroughness speaks volumes to the continued education she undoubtedly seeks while the mastery of her craft also alludes to her artfulness. For those afraid of dental visits, I would strongly urge them to give Dr. Leone a try. She and her staff have thought of every detail to make dental visits less foreboding. After spending years at a "traditional" (read: sterile) practice where an affable dentist glided between patient chairs and archaic tools in whirlwind fashion, Dr. Leone is a welcome reminder that dentistry has entered the 21st century. This is a vote to leave the ether rags, bone chisels, and oral speculums behind... unless that's your thing... read more

I have been meaning to write this review for a while now. I first saw Dr. Leone a couple of years ago when I got a new full-time job with bennies after being self-employed without dental insurance for many years before that. With my first visit, she was very thorough yet honest and conservative. After not having my teeth taken care of for so long, she could've found something that wasn't there or been far more aggressive about some minor spots she saw. Instead, she has been monitoring my progression and still never pushes anything on me. To the contrary, on a recent visit, I had two minor cosmetic things to discuss (whitening and filing a small chip) and once again, instead of aggressively pushing any treatment on me, she gave me conservative, honest and thoughtful advice and even did the filing right there on the spot for no additional fee. Her manner is gentle and caring and I've found her staff to be very nice as well. And who wouldn't love the option of a free hand/arm massage as part of their visit?! I would recommend Dr. Leone to anyone seeking dental care. read more

Dr. Leone is absoultely the best dentist I have ever seen--and I have tried four other dentists during my 20 years in Seattle. She is highly skilled--and has done a significant amount of work on my teeth, including fixing a chipped tooth and replacing my old mercury fillings. She is warm and attentive, and takes her time to explain procedures, making sure all my questions and concerns are answered. She has a very gentle touch, and does everything possible to prevent me feeling any pain or even mild discomfort. All her work has looked great and never had any problems. Her assistant Elizabeth is sensitive, friendly, and is great at putting me at ease, including setting up my music and giving my hands a paraffin treatment while Dr. Leone works on me. Duncan at the front desk is friendly, organized and a great communicator. All in all, the best dentist I could hope for. I cannot recommend her highly enough. read more
