Rare experience these days to have a clinician take time listening to and communicating with their patients! I can honestly say that I am looking forward to becoming a patient of theirs!

They have always treated me well here. Dr. Leatherwood has been my dentist for several years and I have appreciated her professionalism as well as providing comfort like a blanket when I am cold. ( almost all the time.)

Leatherwood Dentistry truly can remove all of the anxiety associated with dentist visits. Her staff is always friendly and Dr. Leatherwood has a way about her that eases those of us that would rather do anything than sit in a dentist chair! Highly recommend.
