Dr. Julie Leslie was born and raised in Springfield, Missouri. After completing her bachelors degree at the University of Missouri-Kansas City, she attended dental school here as well and received her Doctor of Dental Surgery degree. She and her husband moved to St. Louis afterwards and have resided here ever since.
Dr. Leslie enjoys practicing general dentistry with a passion for providing excellent patient care in the community and making a difference in the lives of her patients. She continues to stay involved in current dental trends through continuing education courses, as well as being an active member of the American Dental Association, the Missouri Dental Association, and local St. Louis chapters.
After the local Chrysler plant closed in 2009 Danette found herself looking for a new beginning. She made the transition into the dental field by attending and graduating, with honors and on the Deans list, from Missouri College. From there she continued her education and received her CDA and Expanded Functions.
Her current role of Office Manager, just made sense to Danette. She believes being able to continually improve and learn in all aspects of dentistry, as it is always evolving, is very exciting. Being able to discuss with patients on a personal level what is truly best for them to be in optimal oral health is very rewarding for Danette. She greatly enjoys the relationships she is able to build with patients.
In her free time, she likes to spend as much time as possible with her son, Brayden, who is currently away at college. Danette also loves to ride her bicycle with a goal of one day doing a century ride She asks that if you see her on the road, not to run her over!
