I can't say enough good things about Dr.Morton. My daughter came in short notice. He reassured my daughter and myself during the whole process of extracting her two teeth. I wish I could be his patient!

My daughter saw Dr Leo Morton as a patient. The office and staff could not have been nicer or more accommodating. Dr Morton was great with my daughter, relieving any anxiety she had about the appointment. Everything went well and I completely trust his opinion. I would highly recommend this practice if you are in search of a great pediatric dentist!

Dr Morton is GREAT. my toddler has had a happy experience there. Dr Morton is kind, patient, very knowledgeable and experienced and I felt like he genuinely had the best interest of my child at heart. He was careful to explain all options of treatment, and allow me to make informed decision. He and his office staff have followed up post treatment and made sure I knew that I could contact them anytime, and if i had questions they were there for me.

Dr. Leo and the staff at Children's Adolescent Dentistry are outstanding! I can't say enough, they obviously all work with kids all the time and know what to say and do. My daughter not only sits though being seen but loves going to the dentist, before an appointment she talks all about it for days and loves being there. Thanks Dr. Leo!

My 18 month old daughter had the most wonderful experience here! The doctor seemed extremely experienced in how to help such a young child feel comfortable. When we first arived he sat down with my husband and I and explained everything he was going to do. She seemed scared during the exam but he quickly helped her feel much more comfortable. When the time came to leave she was giving high fives and hugs to the staff. We can't wait for her next visit!!
