Doctor and Team
Meet the experienced and friendly dentist and staff who make Rogue Dental the leading provider of oral hygiene and personalized dental services in Medford.
Dr. Richard Leong, D.D.S.
Dr. Leong has been providing dental care to Rogue Valley Families for over 30 years. He graduated from Georgetown University in Washington D.C., returning to the Rogue Valley where he spent most of his childhood.
Rogue Dental first opened its doors in 1987 inside the Rogue Valley Mall, moving to the current location in 1998. Dr. Leong feels grateful that he has the opportunity to provide dental care to his community. He enjoys building relationships with his patients, many who have been with him since he first started his practice. Dr. Leong strives to make a positive impact in the lives of others, consistently displayed through his kind and compassionate demeanor.
In his free time, Dr. Leong enjoys playing tennis and traveling with his wife Dena. Their favorite destinations are Hawaii and NASCAR races.
Debbie, Dental Assistant
Debbie has worked with Dr. Leong at Rogue Dental since 1991. She has enjoyed growing with the practice and feels that the relationships she has formed with patients has been extremely rewarding. “Watching our young patients grow to adults and have their own children has been an amazing experience!”
In her free time, Debbie enjoys DIY projects and traveling with Scott, her “sweet husband.” They especially like taking trips on their Harley. She also loves to garden—raising both vegetables and flowers. In the summer, she keeps the office adorned with beautiful sunflowers from her yard.
Nikki, Office Manager
Nikki joined Rogue Dental in 2016, bringing over 20 years of management experience with her. She has worked in the dental field for 18 years and is very knowledgeable in insurance billing. She enjoys helping patients find ways to make their treatment affordable and manageable while maximizing their benefits.
Nikki feels extremely fortunate to be a part of the Rogue Dental Family. “I take great pride in working with a team of such compassionate and skilled professionals. I confidently recommend our office to my friends and family, knowing that they will be excellent hands.”
A Rogue Valley native, Nikki enjoys long weekend getaways, camping, and home projects with her husband Randy. She loves whole-food cooking, paddle boarding and her newest hobby, crocheting! After becoming an empty-nester, she adopted the role of “fur-mama” to her beloved Goldendoodle, Sprout.
Jessica, Registered Dental Hygienist
Jessica recently joined Rogue Dental as our full-time Dental Hygienist. She grew up in Klamath Falls and graduated from OIT with a Bachelor’s of Science in Dental Hygiene. Jessica moved to Medford in 2022; she has enjoyed exploring and getting familiar with the area.
Jessica looks forward to building relationships with patients and seeing their smile at the end of each appointment. She hopes to help patients meet their oral health goals while improving their overall health through education and attentive care. Additionally, Jessica speaks fluent Spanish.
Outside of the office, Jessica enjoys baking, cooking and arts and crafts.
