Dr. Waymond K. Leong, DDS

San Mateo’s Peninsula Avenue stretches from the hills toward the bay, lined with the kind of quiet professional offices that serve the neighborhood without fanfare. Among them is Dr. Waymond K. Leong, DDS, a dental practice handling everything from routine cleanings to more involved restorative work. The block itself is unassuming—mostly low-rise buildings with a mix of medical, legal, and small business storefronts—but it’s a practical hub for anyone who needs dental care without the downtown hustle.

Dentistry isn’t the sort of service people seek out for the experience, but for the results: fillings that last, crowns that fit, and exams that catch issues before they escalate. This practice covers the essentials—preventive care, extractions, and basic orthodontic referrals—without the frills of a boutique clinic. The address, 420 Peninsula Ave, places it just north of Hillsdale Shopping Center, making it a convenient stop for those already running errands in the area.

Appointments here are scheduled the usual way: a phone call to (650) 342-3597 sets things in motion. First-time visitors might want to check the map for directions, especially if coming from the 101 side, where Peninsula Avenue’s layout can be less intuitive. The surrounding streets are residential, so the pace slows once you’re off the main drag—a small but noticeable shift from San Mateo’s busier corridors.
