Dr. Shady Samuel , DDS
Pediatric Dentist
I’m Dr. Shady Samuel, and I'm a pediatric dentist in Brooklyn who has been caring for children's smiles at Leaf Dental for over five years. My journey into dentistry started about 15 years ago after graduating from the University of Buffalo.
What I cherish most about my job is creating a comforting and reassuring atmosphere for children during their dental visits. An interesting fact about my early career is that I worked as a clown before stepping into dentistry. That initial passion for working with kids and bringing joy to their faces has seamlessly transitioned into my role as a pediatric dentist, allowing me to continue spreading smiles.
Outside of the office, I love engaging in water sports and have a unique hobby of jet skiing during my free time.
I have a mouth full of dental work and sensitive teeth, and I'm always a bit terrified of cleanings and check ups. I had my first appointment at Leaf Dental today, and I saw Linda, Sherry and Dr. Rafiq - it was a fantastic experience, start to finish.
The space is calm and welcoming, and the team that worked on me was very understanding of my nerves, careful and gentle. Plus, completely effective. Stains on old dental work are gone, and they even replaced a lost composite filling within my appointment time.
It is a massive relief to have a new dental practice that I know will take such great care of me.
