Arlene Palileo-Noel
Registered Dental Hygienist
 Arlene
worked as an orthodontic dental assistant
from 1983-1987. In 1987, she moved to
Kentucky with her two sons (then ages two
and three) to begin her pre-dental hygiene
classes. In 1990, she graduated with honors
from the University of Southern Indiana.
After graduating and obtaining her Indiana
dental hygiene licensure, she worked in two
different dental offices for a period of
five years. When she obtained her Hawaii
dental hygiene license in 1994, she moved
back home to Hawaii in 1995.
While
working as an on-call temporary hygienist,
she had the opportunity to work with many
different dentists. What she likes most
about working with Dr. Leung is that she
genuinely cares for her patients as well as
her staff. This is the trait she admires
most in Dr. Leung, that she’s found so few
dentists lack… Dr. Leung is “one of a kind”.
Away from the office, Arlene enjoys
listening to music, collecting sea shells
and turning it into artwork.

Kindra Yandell
Registered Dental Hygienist
 I
have been a dental hygienist for the past 19
years. I recently moved to Hawaii from El
Dorado Hills, California, near Sacramento. I
was fortunate enough to start working for
Dr. Leung as soon as I moved to Hawaii, and
it has been a great experience. I have
really enjoyed her friendly staff and
patients and look forward to developing a
long lasting career in Hawaii. My experience
has been in general, periodontal and
cosmetic dentistry and I prefer a smaller,
more personal office like Dr. Leung’s. I
have two teenage boys; one is a freshman in
college and the other a sophomore in high
school. This has been a wonderful move for
my family and me and I hope to learn more
about the island way!
