Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Wonderful Dentist

Staff/Provider were great. Exam areas need to be more private though. I shouldn't be able to look to the right & see someone's partial being adjusted in the room next to me; nor do I want anyone to be able to see what is happening in my treatment room. HIPAA is supposed to help protect privacy; the exam rooms should do the same!

Dr. Leppo and his staff are of the highest caliber of offices. The atmosphere is professional, yet relaxed and welcoming. My son needed treatment and was anxious prior to his appointment. The staff and Dr. Leppo put his mind at ease and kept him relaxed through the whole procedure. He walked away with a positive dental experience and received care of the highest quality. I wouldn't trust my family's care to any other office. I have moved from the area, but I will continue to make the drive.

Columbia Dental Center is totally amazing. They took excellent care of me with several extractions, they were all super kind and supportive the entire time (I was really nervous). I received a call the following day from Dr. Leppo to check on how was I doing. I've actually never had a dentist do that. Seriously top notch care from amazing people. ??

Dr Leppo and his staff are the best -Compassionate, professional ! My family and I are very grateful Dr Leppo took the time to make sure my 90 year old mom had her teeth repaired in time for weekend - even though it meant staying after hours for them to get the work finished.

Very personable. Great with the kids. Took time to get to know myself and my kids. And didn't rush in and out. Hard to find that anymore. I have been coming to this office since I was a kid and wasn't sure about continuing to drive 32 miles (one way) to see a different dentist. After today I'm confident we will get the same great service as we always have.

I have been going to Dr. Leppo for a few months. Unfortunately, I was born with horrible teeth. Dr. Leppo explains all procedures and answers any questions. I can't recommend him enough. He is the only dentist to give me a shot and I don't feel a thing. If you are scared of the Dentist, I highly recommend him.

Dr. Leppo is fabulous. He was recommended by a friend, and she was so right. Dr. Leppo gave really clear, logical explanations of the work I needed done. He was patient & un-rushed and spent time to get to know me. And the work he did over several visits (including crown) was superior. Also really like the technology the have to make the crowns.

I am in and out of the dentist office on a regular basis. Unfortunately I was born with horrible teeth and it took me 35 years to find the best dentist I've ever been to. Leppo is kind, caring, and patient. He is a great guy overall and bonus........I have never felt a nova cane shot he has given me! Can't recommend enough.
