WARNING CONMAN - - - #MeToo Dr. McLeod abandoned me as a new patient back in 2011, and left me with severe malocclusion damage that was not present prior to his services I received on a referral from Dr. Rami Etesammi. (See 5/22/18 Etesammi review) Dr. McLeod won't communicate with me in a professional manner to fix the damage he caused, and refuses to release my org intraoral images, which show my org teeth. Due to the dental trauma caused by Dr. McLeod, and being disabled for 14-yrs, I've been forced to live with these problems. Disabled with no income, Dr. McLeod created a $25,000 treatment plan. 100% CROWN HAPPY CONMAN After posting the comment #MeToo without further details (see #3 below), Dr. McLeod had my comment removed. On 2/9/18 Dr. McLeod said "We would love to be able to correct any reason you may have to feel disapprobation with our dental services and treatments. Please do try to let us know how our treatment warranted such a low review, and how your comment relates to my dental care." On 5/3/18 I emailed Dr. McLeod & Dr. Etesammi with the following details below, but have yet to hear back from either party. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * In response to your removal of my #MeToo comment on Yelp, what warranted such a low review was due to your unethical behavior as my dentist back in 2010-2011 when you did the following: 1 - You designed two ill-fitting crowns, altering my entire bite, blamed me for what you did, then abandoned me as your patient. I never designed or placed my crowns at a cost of $3,325.00, only you as my dentist did this. 2 - You chose to force fit your ill-fitting crowns, then tried to fix said problems by flattening the large majority of all my teeth, which permanently altered my bite and the specific environment you designed my crowns to fit, and again, only you as my dentist did this. 3 - You made reference to the color of your pubic hair still being the same color as your daughter's red hair after I made reference to your 2010 family Christmas card on display in your office (see enclosed photo), noting that my red hair used to be the same color as your daughter's. Your dental services and treatments has created eight years of dental PTSD, in addition to chronic crippling dental pain and discomfort, so I have yet to have any dental work done to fix the major malocclusion problems you produced. I've started working with the Plastic Surgery & Maxillofacial Departments at Stanford University to better understand the relationship between my deteriorating face, my bilateral cheek atrophy, my inability to close my jaw, my inability to eat anything comfortably, and how this all relates to your ill-fitting crowns that were set prior to you flattening my teeth. What is still undetermined is what the best approach will be to fix my bite that you matter-of-factly destroyed eight years ago. My treatment plans from USC, UCLA and a third dentist all show that I had no malocclusion problems prior to becoming your patient, so you cannot continue to place blame on me when my medical records contradict your dishonest claims. I'm not interested in going back and forth with you as you chose to do with me in the past, while blaming me for your substandard workmanship. You either ethically want to be responsible for what you damaged, and want to help fix it, or you genuinely don't care about the harm you did. Dr. Etesammi originally referred me to you as a new patient, and you both were well informed of my permanent disability in my neck. I trusted your services and treatments would never further complicate my disability, but your failed workmanship proved otherwise, and you succeeded in creating new malocclusion problems as your new patient. I also trusted you wouldn't sexually harass me as your new patient, but after spending $3,325.00 you did just that, which naturally created additional problems for me, and our established doctor-patient relationship. Back in 2011, I informed Dr. Etesammi about your unethical behavior back when I was begging you both for help. Unfortunately, my pleas for help to you and Dr. Etesammi alike were only met with continued silence, and absolute abandonment. Would you like to fairly discuss these major malocclusion complications that still exist for me, and finally address the unnecessary and excruciating pain that I've been forced to live with after you became my dentist eight years ago on a referral from Dr. Etesammi? You had an ethical duty and responsibility as my dentist to do no harm, to be good, to be fair, and to be honest. However, within my personal experience you fell short of upholding, and delivering on all of these points as a dentist. You told me you would treat me like your own daughter, and I trusted you when you said this to me as a new patient. But let's be realistic - is this really how you honestly would've treated your own daughter for eight years, Dr. McLeod? read more

"Finding a Dentist you can trust and like to go to ?" "Impossible", you say........! Well, that's what I firmly believed, prior to having a dental emergency and by luck discovered this amazing physician. Let me tell you.... Once you have come to Dr McLeod's office and have been treated by him, you will agree with me...Dental Care and the Improvement of our Looks does not have to be a painful and agonizing experience!And he is the only Dentist you want to go to! Dr. McLeod's Staff is exceptionally courteous, respectful and friendly, always follows up with appointment-reminders and is very easy to communicate with.The atmosphere at the office is very relaxed and welcoming, yet reads knowledgeable professionalism. Unusual for our time, Dr.McLeod is a true craftsman in his profession, who does not only take great care with each individual patient, but also takes the time ! His treatments go far beyond that of just "fixing" the immediate problem, he nurtures one's awareness of the total well-being and how our gums and teeth reflect on what we might neglect in other areas dealing with our health, and offers help through referrals to possible other specialists, if needed.All done at the patient's discretion. What I really appreciate, is that he never pushes you into a decision about treatment, but rather lays out the situation for you, guides you through options and explains in detail what your expectations should or could be....and then he gives you time to reflect on it and decide for yourself. Bottom line.... Pick up the phone and schedule your appointment with Dr.McLeod now! You will not regret it! It just might change your life! read more

How many people have the good fortune of finding pleasure in the experience of visiting a dentist? I am one who now does. In the time that I've been in Dr. McLeod's care I've watched myself go from being yet another skeptical, reluctant, white-knuckled dental patient clutching the arms of the dentist's chair, to someone who trusts and believes in the value of good dental care, someone who actually looks forward to and enjoys visiting his dentist's office. I've come to feel entirely assured and confident in his professionalism. Add to this, like icing on a good cake, the comfort and ease I feel under the spell of his fine manner, wit, stories, poetry, interests and music. What a package! He is an extraordinary man and I count myself fortunate that our paths have met. So thank you very much, Dr. McLeod. It's been an unexpectedly good experience being in your care. The work you've done for me, especially bringing back together in harmony no's 8 & 9, my front teeth, has changed for the better an important piece of how I express myself in the world. I've checked my smile, held it back out of a twinge of self consciousness for an awfully long time. I wasn't terribly guarded about it, but it really had been a long held trauma. Now I catch myself smiling frequently, even just to myself, with a new found confidence thanks to his encouragement and good work. read more

Dr McLeod is the kindest man. I feel so lucky to have found such an amazing and talented dentist in Los Angeles. His knowledge for the latest dental engineering and the latest cosmetic technology in dentistry is quite incredible. I always feel nervous going to the dentist but you soon realize that you are in the safest hands with Dr McLeod, plus he and his staff actually make the visit very pleasant and enjoyable! I had major root canal surgery a year ago in which Dr McLeod saved one of my front teeth that was discolored and very weak. It was a 5 hour long procedure, but somehow he managed to save the tooth! The results are beyond belief. Not only did he save the tooth but he also managed to whiten it (something I had been trying and failing to do for years with my previous dentist). You cannot tell there is anything wrong with my tooth now and finally, after years, I can now smile properly again and with confidence! I have also had general check ups with him, a filling on a tooth and have just got a new bite guard to replace the old painful one I had from a previous dentist. i am so grateful to have Dr McLeod as my dentist. He may not always be the cheapest, although his prices are very reasonable, but he is, in my opinion, by far the most talented, intelligent and professional dentist. (Really nice guy too). read more

Dr Neal is an unforgetable dentist. Never in my life have I been to a dentist that takes his time and puts so much effert and care to help his patient. He is so caring and so careful and inspects each tooth to the bone, as they say dots the "I's" and crosses the "t's",. Never have I felt so comfortable to go to the dentist. I love going to the dentist now knowing that I wont have any problems in my mouth. He fixed a botched up root canal I had years ago, that I was having pain for so many years. I can finally go on with my day with no pain in my mouth. He also has a very friendly personality and a very funny sense of humore, you can go to the denist and feel like you've known this man for many years. He is a wonderul careing man. Also, the staff is very very friendly, Especially Mary at the front desk. She is very pleasant and kind. Anyway, I am very impressed with his professionalism and his kindness and care for his patients. I cannot say enough good things about doctor Neal McLeod. read more

Dr. McLeod is the best dentist there is, bar none. He has treated me and my family for many years. He even cured my TMJ. I love the fact that he checks on us the evening after he has treated us. He does not stop caring for his patients when they leave his office. Don't be mislead by the only negative reviewer. Her 20 minutes experience is no basis for an opinion of the quality dentistry that Dr. McLeod provides. I have at least 5 crowns in my mouth that are nearly 15 years old and I have never had any problems with any of them. Dr. McLeod did all of them. I had a painless root canal about 10 years ago. You can go get a second opinion but keep in mind that every dentist wants your business. You don't need to with Dr. McLeod. He is the best dentist there is. read more

I have been going to Dr. McLeod since the 70's. Over the years due to changes in insurance I have gone to other dentist. Their work ethic never compared to Dr. McLeod's. Neil's work is impeccable. He explains everything to you in detail. In all the years that I have been going to him he has never compromised his work. When I have had to have oral surgery he always calls in the evening to see how you are doing. In today's world that is unheard of. There are not enough words to express my admiration and regard for his work. His staff is always there if you have questions. They could not be more kind and considerate. Neil has never let me down and has always been there for me in an emergency. I cannot recommend him more. He is amazing in every way. read more

I love dr. mcleod. i've loved dr. mcleod for over 25 years! he had red hair when i first went to him with terrible gum problems. he was charming and funny, but when it came to my teeth, he was dead serious. he asked me if i had children or nieces and nephews. when i replied that i had two small nieces, he said, "if you want to have your teeth when you go to their weddings, you'll have to completely change the way you take care of them!" i heeded his advice, i go to him religiously twice a year for cleaning, and i brush and floss regularly. i still have my teeth, my gums are healthy and pink, and dr. mcleod will be my only dentist for as long as he continues to practice dentistry! he is quite a guy and quite a dentist!!!! read more

When my childhood dentist retired, I took my time to find a new one. I found a replacement that is probably the best in the country. I am confident to recommend my dentist, doctor Neil McLeod who practices on Sunset Boulevard in West Hollywood. He takes care of my whole family, and has abolished my children and my husband's fear of visiting the dentist. Dr McLeod has the latest technology that helps to keep his services up to date, and yet he seems to have all the old world charm of a family doctor ready to come in for an emergency at the week-end, and willing to take his time to do his artistry carefully as if time did not matter. If you are looking for a good dentist stop you have arrived. read more

Dr. McLeod is there when you need him. Even on a holiday weekend. I recently had a dear friend in need of emergency care on a Sunday afternoon.

Dr. Neil McLeod is a TOP Professional, highly skillful, reliable, honest, accommodating, charming and entertaining. My husband, daughter and I had been patients with him for all the time we lived in L.A., which was 16 years. When we moved to AZ, we still drove to him for another two years, until he said "you guys need to find a dentist in AZ". We still do miss him and his staff. Everybody there makes you welcome and yes, you do feel like family, because they treat you that way. There is only one Dr. Neil McLeod in this world and we miss him terribly. read more

Dr. McLeod is amazing, my best girlfriend wanted all her front teeth redone, frankly I didn't see what was so bad about them. But she was specific they were the wrong size, shape and color and they REALLY bothered her.. I have know Neil for 10 years and the quality of his work has always been 10+, so I referred him to her. The process was involved my friend was so impressed that Niel cared so much to call her at home to make sure she was ok. She is soooo HAPPY with her new mouth. Thank you Neil for making me look so good to my friend. read more

When first I came to Dr. McLeod's office, I was terrified (due to a frightful experience with another practitioner over 20 years ago). However his professionalism, kindness and humor put me at ease. He provided an excellent treatment plan, and everything he's done---from gold crown, tooth straightening, routine exams, etc., has been top-notch work at a fair and reasonable price. I am incredibly thankful to have Dr. McLeod as my dental provider. Matilda Novak read more

I've been going to McCleod since I needed an emergency root canal when I was 18. I'm 30 now and have had plenty of procedures and cleanings since and have always been taken care of and treated with absolute kindness. With McCleod and his staff, they make visits as pain free as possible. Unless I move away from L.A. I'll most likely be a lifetime customer. read more

Dr. McLeod has carried the torch of leadership through a rich and diverse career spanning multiple continents.
