Detailed Introduction

Dentistry By The Dam, officially recognized as Leyder Family Dentistry, is a well-established dental clinic located in Newaygo, Michigan, specifically at 7166 S Croton Hardy Dr. The practice was founded by Dr. Ronald Leyder, who graduated from the University of Michigan in 1981 and immediately opened the office with his father-in-law. Dr. Leyder has been practicing for over four decades, demonstrating a deep commitment to the community. The clinic prides itself on offering a clean, friendly, and relaxed atmosphere for its patients. Their core philosophy revolves around building strong, personal relationships with families and individuals, aiming to enhance the quality of each person's dental care experience. A significant aspect of their approach is the emphasis on preventive care and providing long-lasting dental treatments, reflecting a belief in creating lasting value for their patients. Leyder Family Dentistry is dedicated to staying current with advancements in the dental field. They continually update their technology, knowledge of procedures, and understanding of current research to ensure they provide the best possible care available in dentistry. The team includes experienced professionals like Registered Dental Hygienists (RDHs) Ashley Reed and Katie Teesdale, who are passionate about educating patients on oral health and building trust. Ronda, the office manager, contributes to a harmonious work environment and manages administrative tasks, while Dental Assistant Taylor Stevens supports the clinical team. While the "Dentistry By The Dam" name might evoke imagery related to the nearby Croton Dam, it primarily refers to their location and the family-oriented, community-focused nature of the practice. Dr. Leyder is contemplating retirement, with the goal of spending more time with his family, including his wife, three children, and six grandchildren, but continues to serve patients until the practice transitions.

Ron has been a great dentist over the years. He has always given me the personal care that I was looking for and was always professional. He helped me with some whitening treatments and was a huge help with some bridge work I had done. I would recommend to my family and friends.

Place was good 10 years ago. Today this clinic is falling apart. Ron hired the worst hygienists whom are way too young and have little to no experience. One of them named Alicia did not provide a thorough teeth exam which only taken her less than two minutes and claimed false diagnosis on me. They were only nice to me until they found out I had no dental insurance.

I was even willing to pay out of my own pocket until they started getting snappy towards the end of my first appointment. Ron I get you’re retiring but it gives you no rights to lose passion for your own patients who’ve been coming since they were kids. I will not be coming back. It’s unfortunate how people and services will switch up for the worst.

Super disappointed at this point. My fault, I thought my sons appointment was tomorrow. . . turns out it was today. I apologized refusely and felt horrible, but the lady on the other end of the phone is what has me searching for a new dentist at this point. And that makes me sad because I went to Dr. Leyder all through middle school and high-school, and wanted my son to do the same.

The lady was basically threatening me, letting me know how they have such a long wait list, and that this was my last warning. His appointment was initially rescheduled because of their end. Because something with their cleaning supplies was broken back in January. It was an honest mistake on my part. But there's no reason that I should have been in tears by the time I got off the phone with her. Don't worry about us rescheduling, we will find a new dentist.
