Meet Dr. Ken Leopold
Thank you for choosing Synergy TMJ & Sleep Solutions for your Orofacial Pain, Oral Medicine, and Sleep Apnea care! Dr. Leopold is a long time resident of the Conejo Valley. He moved here in 1975 with his family when he was 12 years-old. He attended Los Cerritos Intermediate School, then went on to Thousand Oaks High School where he graduated in 1981. After high school, he enrolled at Moorpark Community College where he completed his general education requirements, then transferred to California Lutheran University where he graduated in 1992 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology. During his senior year at “Cal Lu”, he volunteered with a local dentist and found he really enjoyed dentistry. He applied to dental school and was accepted to the prestigious University of Southern California School of Dentistry, where he graduated with a Doctor of Dental Surgery degree in 1996. After practicing general dentistry for 21-years, Dr. Leopold decided to go back to USC and complete a 3-year residency (2017-2020) in Orofacial Pain and Oral Medicine (OFPOM). Orofacial Pain and Oral Medicine are the newest “ADA recognized” dental specialties, and Dr. Leopold is now one of few doctors in Southern California to be a dual degreed in both disciplines. Dr. Leopold continues to make his home in Thousand Oaks with his beautiful wife Diana and their three children. His son Kelly (22 years-old) works for the Ventura County Sheriff’s Department, his daughter Karissa (19 years-old) is pursuing a career in the motion picture industry for make-up and special effects… and last but not least, his daughter Fallon (15 years-old) who is a sophomore at Thousand Oaks High School, and aspires to attend USC’s Keck School of Medicine to become a PA (Physician’s Assistant). Dr. Leopold enjoys spending time with his family and friends, camping, deep sea fishing, cooking, and attending USC Football games,”FIGHT-ON”!!! He also enjoys competing in USPSA, and IDPA pistol competitions with his son Kelly and is an avid supporter of the Ventura County Sheriff’s Foundation. Once again, thank you for considering our office, we look forward to seeing you soon!
