My kids usually visit the IGH location, but I'm grateful they could squeeze us in here in short notice. And the drive wasn't so horrible from St Paul.

Two years and I never once had anything bad to say about Dr leon and his staff. They are so welcoming , respectful and truly the best at what they do. I'm so grateful that I got such great people to help me with my smile. One thing I appreciate is how Dr leon always asks for my input. He listens to what i have to say and makes sure i'm satisfied. My smile was one of my biggest insecurities and just like that he and his team were able to fix it. Thank you Dr leon and his staff you're the best <3

I hated my teeth so I wouldn't smile, I had low self esteem, and really hated even talking because people would stare. When I first started my journey to getting braces I was really scared and felt overwhelmed. After being referred to Leon's it was been a breeze. When I tell you the customer service here rocks, it will rock your socks off. Dr.Leon really puts his all into every patient and it shows every time you walk in. Everyone is super nice, out going, and go that extra mile. It has been 2 years and I am 6 weeks to getting my braces off. My teeth look AMAZING !!!!!! I smile all the time now, I feel so accomplished, and relieved to have been in such good care. Dr. Leon evened out a couple chipped teeth for free!!! Free!! He listens and will do his best to make it happen and more. I would 110 % recommend going here, you will be very please with the results and care.
