Very calming, relaxing. She is very personable, she cares, and takes the trouble to know more about the patient, my family, what I do, and so on. Small office environment with about 3 dentists. No frills. But the staff including the front desk and hygenists are friendly and cheerful. Dr Lepor minimizes pain by anesthetics; and she chats a lot - which I suppose is good for distraction, and thus makes it painless. Please note that she does not do any major work - like a root canal, and periodontal work - I had to go to other specialists further away towards DC, and they cost much more. I found her costs very reasonable and I think they take a whole bunch of insurances including Blue Cross and Metlife. For the basic and routine family care, including children - Dr. Lepor is excellent. If you need more work done, you'll need to go elsewhere. Good luck.
