I cannot believe this man is still practicing. He was rough and aggressive and mean and everybody felt the same way about him
This was back in the 80s And i'm shocked to see that he's still getting bad reviews in 2023. Every single one of my friends from school that went to him was completely traumatized. He wore a very distinct cologne and if I smell it to this day, it literally turns my stomach. He is a vile man. I got my braces put on with him as well as him being my regular dentist and I came to find out a few years ago That he is not even in orthodontist. He's only a pediatric dentist. He should not be putting braces on people. The day my mother dropped me at my appointment to get my braces put on. I left without them because he was so rough and violent with me.... That I couldn't even handle it. My mom brought me back for another appointment A few days later and I suffered through to get the braces on. Horrible horrible experience do not bring your children to this man. Read the reviews it's horrifying. Every single appointment I had and that office was absolutely traumatizing. To this day I hate going to the dentist and it's all because of him.

I'm amazed to learn this man is still practicing. I've thought about what he did to me every day of my life since I was a child. With the stated purpose of getting my teeth ready for braces, he pulled every one of my second molars when I was 8 years old. I was not anesthetized. His rationale for that was they were baby teeth and it shouldn't hurt, which is obviously absurd. It's not as though they were ready to come out. The permanent teeth didn't come in for over two years later. The pain of having four teeth extracted without adequate anesthesia was unbearable. It was brutal and violent and unconscionable. It is the worst thing that has ever happened to me. I'll never get over it. Not a day goes by that I'm not haunted by this traumatic battery.

In another incident, he bruised my face horribly.

In yet another incident, he scarred my face permanently.

Parents of Wayland, make the drive to Natick or Framingham. Don't let anything like what happened to me happen to your child.

This guy was the worst. He would PUSH my head down so hard my neck and head ALWAYS hurt. I felt asthough he liked to inflict pain. He didn't care if I was in pain. He would hold my head down with his hand VERY HARD and tell me to stop crying. He also pinched the inside of my mouth many times when he was mad....and this guy was mad a lot. When the novocaine didn't take, he would yell at me to stop crying because my mother would hear me in the waiting room and he would get in trouble. I WAS 6 YEARS OLD! When my mother would come in, he would go from anger to all smiles at her, and then point at me and mouthed the words at me behind my mom's back "shut up". Yes, this went on for 5 or so years with this Leorard Carapezza until I was 10 years old. I am 49 years old now in the year 2018. This happened to me in Wayland, Massachusetts back in the 1970's. DO NOT take your kids to this man. I can't believe nobody else has come forward and reported this man

The dental hygienists were always great with my children & did their jobs well! When going to have my son's tooth extracted, the dentist thought that the tooth on the other side also needed to be extracted & when he came out to speak to me about it, he asked if there was a medical reason that my son was behaving this way (meaning that my child was upset about having another tooth pulled from his mouth when 1 was just pulled & didn't want another one pulled.) On this same visit the dentist was very chauvinistic towards me & suggested multiply times that I have my husband bring my son in. And wanted to know how his coaches and others "handle him." I feel like my child behaved normally for anyone that was about to have a 2nd tooth pulled unexpectedly. When I was trying to describe my son's personality & how it was similar to mine, he said "this is not about you. " Needless to say, I did not have my son's tooth extracted by him & told the dentist that I didn't like the way he was speaking to me.
