Dr. Mario Steffen Leike runs his own practice on Todorin Vrah Street in Bansko's Old Town. Patients keep coming back for the same reasons: he takes his time, he tells you what he is going to do and what it will cost before he starts, and he keeps a spotless, calm clinic.
Many of his patients are nervous about the dentist, and some are children. Others are visitors whose holiday was interrupted by a broken tooth. He treats them all the same way: patiently and clearly.

“I have had several dental treatments with Dr. Mario Leike, and I can honestly say that he is the best dentist I have ever been to. He saved a tooth that several dentists in Germany were unable to save. […] Even people who are afraid of dental treatments can trust Dr. Leike. He creates a calm atmosphere and makes the experience surprisingly comfortable and stress-free.”
“We are extremely satisfied with this dentist! The attitude towards our children was very patient, careful and with a lot of understanding, which completely removed their fear of visits. The approach is professional and gentle, with everything explained clearly and calmly. We highly recommend to all parents who are looking for a safe and caring specialist!”Translated from Bulgarian by Google
“I had a swollen tooth in June while visiting Bansko and went to Dr. Mario. He is one of the best professionals I have seen and a very kind character. I highly recommend him if you are in Bansko. Thank you so much!”
“Dr Mario is exceptionally kind, professional and friendly. He speaks Bulgarian (of course), English and Spanish […] Dr Mario discussed the procedure and its cost beforehand and, during the appointment, he clearly explained each step of the process he was performing in advance. There is also easy parking outside the surgery. Would absolutely recommend and I will return.”
“I received extremely careful and competent service. He works with care and explains every step of the treatment. I was impressed by the cleanliness of his office, as well as by the strict, downright German observance of punctuality. Communication with him is easy, and if necessary, he organizes an appointment quickly and without unnecessary waiting.”Translated from Bulgarian by Google
“When I broke my tooth yesterday, I was so blessed to have found Dr. Mario. He saw me within a couple of hours and was able to extract the dead tooth with ease. When I was having trouble clotting hours later, he responded to my messages right away […] He is kind, caring and professional. I highly recommend him for your dental needs in Bansko.”
“Amazing service and very friendly staff! The dentist made me feel relaxed and explained everything clearly. I usually feel nervous about dental visits, but this time it was completely stress-free. I will definitely come back again!”
“We had an emergency with our 11 years old boy. We went in the morning, without any appointment and the doctor was very kind to help us (it wasn't a complicated procedure, just a quick fix of his braces). Very clean, professional and attentive doctor. Thank you, Dr. Mario!”
“A great professional. The only dentist I enjoy going to.”Translated from Bulgarian by Google
