Back to school brings with it a multitude of tasks. Your son needs his sports physical, and it's time for your biannual dental cleaning. So many things to schedule, and not enough hours in the day to do it all!
What if your son could get his sports physical done while you were having your dental cleaning at the same time? That means less missed school and work time.
This is exactly what Leaf Medical and Leaf Dental provide for busy DUMBO families. A comprehensive dental and medical facility in the heart of Brooklyn, NY, accessible by subway, bus, or ferry, that can meet each family member's needs, no matter their age. Here's what you should know.
What Leaf Medical Has to Offer
Leaf Medical offers comprehensive care for busy families, including pediatrics, internal medicine, and women's health. We aim to provide one location for all your family's medical needs. Combine that with Leaf Dental's services, and we're your one-stop for all of your family's healthcare needs in DUMBO. We also make care convenient with telemedicine appointments.
Pediatrics
"At Leaf Medical, we understand that the first step towards longevity is developing a pattern and attitude where health matters at a young age." The foundation of excellent health begins at the pediatrician. When we can build a friendly rapport with your child, built on trust and respect, they can feel comfortable and safe visiting their doctor over the years instead of feeling anxious or fearful.
Internists
We take a preventive approach to healthcare at Leaf Medical, with annual physicals that educate you about your health. Together we can create a health plan tailored to your unique needs. If the need for specialists should arise, we are affiliated with the top hospital in New York and one of the best in the country: Weill Cornell Medical School-New York Presbyterian Hospital. Our team can connect you with top specialists who can provide the best care you deserve.
Women's Health
Women have unique medical needs that are too often overlooked. At Leaf Medical, we recognize this, and we're committed to putting women's health first. We offer women comprehensive gynecologic and preventive services focused on their specific needs at every stage of life. Our affiliation with Weill Cornell Medical School-New York Presbyterian Hospital means that we can also connect you with top specialists, should the need arise.
What Leaf Dental Has to Offer
Housed in the same building as Leaf Medical, Leaf Dental provides comprehensive family dental care, including for children, who can see our board-certified pediatric dentist.
Our team of dentists combines their skills and expertise to provide comprehensive services, such as:
- Preventive cleanings, exams, and x-rays
- Periodontal treatment
- Tooth-colored fillings
- Porcelain crowns
- Dental veneers
- Clear aligners with Invisalign®

We even offer nitrous oxide, or laughing gas, as an option for dental sedation for anxious or fearful patients. We never want anxiety to keep you from getting the dental care you need and deserve.
Our welcoming environment makes it easy for busy families to complete all their dental care in one convenient location with a trusted DUMBO dentist.
Why Pediatric Dentistry Is Important
Children can begin their own smile journey around age one with our pediatric dentist, Dr. Shady Samuel. Children have unique dental care needs, and Dr. Samuel has completed two to three years of additional training as a pediatric dentist to care for children, including kids with behavioral, mental, or physical special needs.
Parents often wonder why caring for baby teeth matters when they will eventually fall out. Baby teeth actually perform several critical jobs before they fall out:
- Guiding adult teeth into correct positions
- Helping your child form their first words and speak
- Introducing your child to tasty solid foods
Building a positive relationship with a trusted dentist during childhood helps prepare kids for a lifetime of healthy, happy smiles.
