LESLIE BERKOWITZ

Pediatric dentistry bridges the gap between routine check-ups and a child’s comfort with oral care. Early visits help establish trust, making future appointments smoother for both kids and parents. Leslie Berkowitz specializes in this balance, offering care tailored to younger patients in Palo Alto.

The practice operates from the main building at 725 Welch Rd, 1st floor, a spot that places it near Stanford’s medical hub. Families in the area often appreciate the proximity to other health services, streamlining errands or follow-up visits. The first-floor location also simplifies access for strollers or kids who might be nervous about elevators.

Routine cleanings, fluoride treatments, and sealants are part of the standard offerings, but the focus extends to preventive guidance as well. Parents can expect discussions on diet, habits like thumb-sucking, and even sports mouthguard fittings. The goal isn’t just fixing issues but preventing them before they start.

Appointments can be scheduled by calling (650) 723-8188. For directions, the map is available here: https://www.google.com/maps/place?ftid=0x808fbb32a7fc795f:0xe22440d026d84f33. The neighborhood’s mix of medical offices and quiet side streets makes it a practical stop for families juggling school, work, and healthcare.
