Leon R Peck, DDS, PhD

I am writing this review because I am really disturbed that a review below, Elsie, in specific, decided to tear down my experience at this office. How dare you have the audacity to tell me that my OPINION in wrong? It is simply my opinion. You obviously work for Dr. Peck or something because you have decided to take on each negative review to explain why the patients are incorrect. I will tell you right now why Dr. Peck and his staff were rude to me. It’s because I am not Russian. In this office if you are not Russian you will get treated with contempt. My friend. who is Russian, shared her experience with Dr. Peck and a completely different experience! He called her sweetheart the whole time. He kept working on my wisdom teeth without properly anesthetizing me and hearing me scream in pain. Don’t go to this office! Find a better surgeon to give your money to!

I’m really nervous when I come with my teeth. But I had to say even tho I cried like a Bby he made me feel comfortable especially the assistant she was amazing and was all the way there for me. I loved it no wait it was quick. The procedure was fast I had no swelling of the face a little pain but that was gone that same day. I was more nervous than anything I really recommend him amazing job … And he let me keep my tooth. At first he did say I recommend you the laughing gas when I had my consultation but when the day came I was sitting down and didn’t even put it on me. I saved my self money. Thank you. See u soon for my other two wisdom teeth

GREAT EXPERIENCE!!! I had my top two wisdom teeth extracted two weeks ago and I was a bit nervous at first about it after hearing everyone I know who’s had their wisdom teeth extracted tell me how much pain and after care is involved. Dr. Peck explained the procedure to me in my consultation and he said I’d only need local anesthesia but if I wanted I could opt for the laughing gas. I did opt for the laughing gas during my procedure only because i’ve never had it before and I figured this was the best time if any to utilize it. It was fun to have laughing gas during the procedure but the procedure was fast and painless. I didn’t even need tylenol afterwards. Two hours after the procedure I felt like eating a steak but of course I couldn’t because I had to be careful not to get any food in the holes. I wasn’t uncomfortable at any point afterwards. I didn’t need to use ice packs or eat soup for days… Granted my teeth weren’t impacted so i’m sure everyone has varying experiences. It was my best dental experience ever and I’ve had oral surgery numerous times. Thanks Dr. Peck you’re the best.

Dr. Peck is the best. I hate going to see dentist but Dr. Peck made my visits very comfortable. I have been to his office for a few times. The first was for wisdom teeth removal. That was no pain and done very fast. I was out of his office in 15 mins. The second time was for tooth implant. The first implant failed. Dr. Peck told me to come back after two months and he would give me a free implant again. So I went back after two months, this time things went smooth, and I now have my tooth back. Both of the visits were excellent. I didn’t feel much pain and nervous like I would with other dentists. Dr. Peck is very skillful and gentle, and more importantly fast. He uses good equipment and the office is very clean and cozy. I highly recommend him. Thank you for everything.

Just had a good time having got my wisdom tooth extracted at Dr Peck’s office. To be frank I was little nervous bc that was my first extraction since early childhood. But to my great joy everything went very fast, smooth and absolutely painless. The doctor worked with confidence and commented every action and all the staff was very friendly and supportive too. Overall that was my best dental experience so far. Thank you Dr Peck!

What a terrific office and amazing Oral Surgeon. The entire staff is as sweet as can be, loved them all. Dr. Peck is extraordinarily helpful, kind and knowledgeable. I hate having teeth pulled, which is why my 4^th wisdom tooth was there until this week. Had 3 pulled elsewhere and got dry socket, left the 4^th til the bitter end! Not able to wait any longer, this time I went to Dr. Peck. So glad I did.
As a healthcare professional myself, I am very critical of other providers if they do not perform to great levels of care and service. I must say that this office is fantastic. It is very clean, staffed by exceptionally nice assistants, and run by a doctor with great patient care and relations. I can highly recommend this facility and Dr. Peck to anyone in need of expert dental care.

I live in Orange County but drive to see Dr. Peck. For complex dental work he is amazing. He pulled out my wisdom tooth literally in 1 min without any pain. I even had stitches and healed without problems. I liked the convenience of buying pain medications and antibiotics on the spot in his office. I plan to do bone graft and implants with him. He is definitely worth the drive. I was recommended to him by my family members, and he has helped many people that I know personally. He is best for extractions too. I like how he has his own CT scan machine so you dont have to worry about going to different places.

I am in my thirties and needed two wisdom teeth removed — one on either side of my mouth. Dr. Peck was recommended by my dentist’s office and they know I was a bit of a scaredy cat.
First of all, everyone in the office is very straightforward and right to business. You might be nervous and hoping for someone to hold your hand. Remember, they do these procedures everyday so this is routine for them. Don’t be put off by their businesslike demeanor. (I think that’s why people gave them fewer stars.) They are good at what they do!
Let them know you are a bit afraid and they will make sure you feel comfortable. I got laughing gas and Dr. Peck did not rush me at all. He checked in a few times asking me if I was ready or needed a few minutes. His team kept me calm when it was time for Novocain. I hate needles and it showed, they were so sweet and talked me through it. Dr. Peck gave me the time I needed to feel comfortable and then. .. 7 minutes later. .. my teeth were out! Dr. Peck personally walked me through post care.
I only had a little pain post surgery, more just soreness to be expected. I did one follow-​up because I thought I had dry socket. Turns out it was just that I was moving around so much that all the blood rushed to my mouth and was throbbing. If I just chilled in bed as was instructed (instead of doing work right away) I would have been fine. But Dr. Peck told me to call him if I did have any other pain and he would happily take another look so I wouldn’t be in pain over the weekend. (I was fine once I went home and relaxed per instructions.)
NOTES:
— The whole team was knowledgeable and efficient!
— They go over the costs with you beforehand and you can pay before the procedure so you’re not bothered with it when in your post-​surgical state of mind.
— They can order your antibiotics and pain killers and have them ready for you by the time you leave. It was $ 45 for both and saved me the trip to the pharmacy so I could go right home and go to bed.
— If you plan on getting laughing gas make sure you have someone to drive you home! You might think you’re okay to drive. .. trust me you are not. Don’t take the risk. (I told my husband I was fine but thankfully he drove me home and confirmed I was not in any state to drive.)

Great work and very efficient.
I went to Dr. Peck as a teenager. I initially went to him for a consult regarding my wisdom teeth. When Dr. Peck determined that all four needed to be removed, I asked him when he was available to perform the procedure. He asked, «Do you have time now?» I answered «Yes,» and about 30 – 40 minutes later, I walked out of his office 4 wisdom teeth lighter.
He gave me the option of general anasthetic, laughing gas, or local anasthetic. I chose local, because I wanted the least down time. Turned out to be a great choice, because I didn’t feel a thing and the procedure was over in about 20 minutes.
He prescribed about a week’s worth of pain pills, but I only needed to take them for one day because he did such a great job.
My wife has also gone to Dr. Peck to get a wisdom tooth pulled, and we were very happy with the result (particularly because my wife had had a nightmare with a different oral surgeon who had taken out two other wisdom teeth years before).
All in all, a great oral surgeon whom I highly recommend.

I was deathly afraid of surgery. My dentist told me I needed to get all 4 wisdom teeth out and that he would do it there, while I was awake. There was no way in hell I was going to let him pull any teeth of my mouth while I was awake. He referred me to Dr. Peck and I demanded anesthesia during the surgery. Whoever wrote the review that said Dr. Peck didn’t offer anesthesia, that’s bullshit. All surgeons have anesthesia but don’t like using it because it isn’t 100% safe.
Pulling 4 wisdom teeth took 45 minutes, and I had no swelling whatsoever following the procedure.
He gave me vicodin and ibuprofen, I learned that you can’t take vicodin without taking the ibuprofen or else the vic just won’t work.
I ended up getting dry socket and didn’t have enough vicodin for the pain, but I didn’t call Dr. Peck immediately, instead I went to my dentist who said I didn’t have dry socket and gave me more vicodin. Dr. Peck called me the next day and said, you forsure have dry socket, come in immediately. He put in these surgical cloths drenched in ground cloves and the pain went away immediately.
1^st, for the people complaining about parking, park in the La Cienega Tennis Center. I think it might be two hours free and after that you pay, either way it will be cheaper than parking in the building. It’s between Wilshire and Olympic. If you’re driving down La Cienega from Wilshire toward Olympic, as soon as you pass the first intersection which is Gregory Way, it’s immediately on your right.
2^nd, the people that said that the entire staff including Dr. Peck is «terribly unfriendly» and «unsympathetic,» are completely ignorant of the nuances of other cultures. The entire staff including Dr. Peck, or at least the majority, are Russian or are probably from some Eastern European country. These cultures are friendly but not in the way Americans are used to. It’s also a little more difficult for people whose first language was not English.
As for the person who called the office a «madhouse,» people who speak languages such as Russian, tend to speak much louder than the norm here in America. My parents are from Ukraine, and when my friends hear them having a normal conversation about dinner, they think they’re fighting because they speak so deeply and loudly. It’s a thing. Get over your uncultured, ignorant selves.

Dr. Leon Peck treated me with a special care and knowledge, hi did my surgery and like hi promised I didn’t feel anything, with a special care I received, when hi called me later to find out how I feel.
Thank you Dr. Leon Peck for your care, knowledge and sensitivity… Maria C.

I have temporomandibular joint disorder, and I was sent to Dr. Peck by my primary care provider.
First of all, the building he is in forces you to pay for parking and valet and it is CASH ONLY. I ended up having to pay 15 dollars to park for an hour long appointment, and I had to go find an ATM (although there is a Wells Fargo downstairs).
He didn’t seem too concerned about me and even said that it wasn’t even that bad. The receptionist was not very nice and whenever I called and tried to get Dr. Peck’s input, she wouldn’t let me talk to him. I asked her my questions and she didn’t know how to answer them, yet she didn’t ask Dr. Peck.
They ended up telling me they could do nothing more for me and referred me to someone else. It was a waste of time and money.

Dr. Peck is a highly skilled professional. Very nice, very courteous, explains what needs to be done and does it quick. I am very scared of dentists and the pain that usually comes with their work, but this dentist changed a lot of things for me.
My tooth needed to be extracted; it was done in no time, and I did not feel a thing (except the anesthesia shots that were given, but those were totally tolerable). I am very much satisfied with Dr. Peck’s work.

I was in LA to visit family over holidays when my tooth that had root canal done years earlier got inflamed. Hubby and I had plans to head skiing right after, so I was seriously worried that we’d have to cancel our vacation. Enter Dr Peck, who has been the oral surgeon for my LA-​based uncle and grandparents as well as my husband’s family. Dr Peck managed to fit me into his schedule day after Christmas, and did a quick procedure to drain puss to relieve pressure on the tooth. Now I am not going to lie, I am afraid of dentists. I’d say Dr Peck’s approach is that of speed — by the time I started hyperventilating and baubling about being freaked out, he was done. The infection cleared up in 2 days, and we had a great trip. I would seriously consider coming back to LA if I had any issues that require oral surgery.

I was in LA for winter break, so I came here to get my lower wisdom teeth out while I had a month off before I had to go back to school. I’m normally a total scaredy cat when it comes to dental work, but Dr. Peck made the procedure quick and painless. The staff was also very friendly and made me feel much less anxious about the procedure. I was in and out of the office in just under 30 minutes!
He also warned me I would get swollen and I might develop pain a few days later, which is exactly what happened. I came back and got medication placed in the wound; the pain went away shortly thereafter and I was back to normal by the end of the week.
All in all, I would definitely recommend Dr. Peck for any oral surgery needs you may need. I’ve already recommended him to all my friends who will need their wisdom teeth out. If I ever need to get more teeth extracted or get dental implants, I will definitely be coming back to Dr. Peck.

I went to Dr. Peck on the recommendation of my dentist. When I go to the dentist I revert back to be an 8yr. old frightened, anxious, scared so needless to say a friend dragged me as I needed a broken tooth extracted. Dr. Peck is incredible, the whole procedure took 15min. didn’t feel a thing afterwards just some minor pain and the next day no pain. He changed my mind about dentistry. I can’t say enough about his excellent work.

This doctor is not for you if you need hand-​holding, and he can seem a bit strict, direct and harsh at times but I assure you that he knows EXACTLY what he is doing. He is a very precise physician and will extract your wisdom teeth in less than 15 min, painlessly and efficiently. I am finally pain-​free. Thank-​you so much Dr. Peck.

I have a very big fear of the dentist, and have been having a lot of pain in my mouth recently caused by my wisdom tooth growing in. When I walked into Dr. Peck’s office, I was very scared but he was sure to re assure me several times that it would not hurt. The entire procedure took only 35 minutes from beginning to end, and I honestly did not feel a thing. He was very gentle and caring of how I was feeling the entire time. I recommend him to any teenagers, adults and children who are scared of the dentist. :) Thank you.

Dr. Peck extracted my 2 wisdom teeth 3 days ago. The entire procedure took 30 mins, including the x-​ray. Dr. Peck and his entire staff were very courteous and professional. I was impressed by their very clean office with top of the line equipment in Beverly Hills. I didn’t feel any pain or discomfort during the extraction. I was able to eat soft foods on the same day, followed Doctor’s directions and didn’t have any swelling… Perhaps, I was lucky that I only had 2 upper wisdom teeth to remove, but Dr. Peck’s skill and professionalism arr undeniable. I would recommend him to anyone needing wisdom teeth removed. On top of everything, he personally called me in the evening to check how I’m doing! Now, that’s great customer service!

I was went to Dr. Peck because he was highly recommended by my regular dentist Dr. Galina. I was told that he is the best Oral Surgeons and my doctor was right.
Thank you for easy and painless experience!
