James E. Leonard, DDS
“I decided to pursue a career in dentistry, specifically endodontics, because it involves helping people get out of acute pain and back to their normal lives, while at the same time preserving their smiles. Also, I like interacting with people and am very good at relating to different types of personalities. I’ve made sure that I have the educational background and up-to-date training to give my patients the best care possible. This includes two years of endodontic training at Baylor College of Dentistry in Dallas, Texas. Patients feel reassured by my background and capabilities, but I always keep in mind that endodontic procedures are usually new to them. So I take the time to explain everything in a way that my patients can understand. I speak to them with a calm, reassuring voice to help put them at ease and alleviate any fears.”
