First time here and will keep coming back! Dr. Yugi is so knowledgeable and takes the time to explain everything! And Erin is so very good at teeth cleaning, my teeth feel amazing! I'm so happy to have found this dental office. I will be recommending to all my friends and family!

Dr. Jo and his team are amazing. Excellent work, pain-free and it is apparent that their primary concern is the health of their patient. I have and will continue to recommend Dr. Jo to friends and family. My niece recently went to Dr. Jo And was thrilled to hear that her teeth and gums were much healthier than she had been led to believe. She left his office feeling good about her mouth for the first time in years.

My Mother had a wonderful visit with such a caring staff at Leading Edge Dental. The staff had so much patience for my 97 year old Mother who was anxious about her upcoming visit but was very happy with the care she received.
