Neena Leverenz, DDS Dr. Neena Leverenz was born and raised just across the river in Canada. When she was just 16 years old, her father encouraged her to volunteer in a dental office to keep her busy during the summer. Like all teenagers, she was so disappointed that she had to work all summer. However, she soon realized dentistry was the profession for her! She pursued a career in dental care after completing her Bachelor of Arts in biology from Wayne State University. She went on to study dentistry at the University of Detroit Mercy. During her time at UDM, her exemplary performance towards patients allowed her to be chosen to participate in a mission trip to Guatemala, where she provided dental services to the underserved population. This trip exemplifies her compassion, patience and understanding when treating patients. She holds a dental license in both the United States of America as well as Canada. Dr. Leverenz has been with Dr. Gantz for over six years and looks forward to a long and lasting relationship.
