About Leite Orthodontics
Extra patience for anxious kids and children with special needs marks care from Dr. Singh and Dr. Leite at this Columbia practice.
Reviews highlight how well the team works with nervous children and patients with special needs, including accounts of staff singing to ease a child's fear and accommodating an autistic four-year-old during treatment. Both Dr. Singh and Dr. Leite are mentioned for gentle handling of braces adjustments and for involving parents by explaining each step. The office itself gets notes for being clean and spacious, with a kids' waiting area families mention specifically, and several reviews describe work-in appointments offered quickly for retainer discomfort.

The staff is always very helpful, very knowledgeable and accommodating. Dr. Sing and Dr. Leite make your children feel like family and their dental work is excellent, always. We have been loyal patients for 17 years, which speaks for itself!

We have gone to this practice for basic dental care, tooth extraction, and now braces and every visit has been great. Even with having a child that was very anxious at first, Dr. Singh and the whole staff were just amazing with her! Now we have gotten to experience the care on Dr. Leite’s side and I’ve been equally as pleased. Can’t recommend them enough!
