Read Why Our Patients Love Us

We took our young son for his very first dental appointment and he LOVED it! He even told me he had fun and is excited to go back. The staff and Dr. Leatherwood are so very pleasant and patient. They took the time to get him acquainted to all the tools and told him exactly what they were going...

Wonderful experience!! It has only taken one visit with Dr. Leatherwood and the entire staff at this office for me to be impressed and pleasantly surprised. Dr. Leatherwood (as well as the rest of the staff) genuinely cares about the patient and takes time to explain everything. 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!

The staff & my visit here was amazing, beginning to end. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming, it makes you actually enjoy going to the dentist. I came here because of the great reviews so I didn't expect any less. They take their time getting to know you, ensuring you feel comfortable throughout your visit. From the waiting room, to the cleaning, to meeting with Dr.Leatherwood it was seamless. If you're looking for a great dentist check them out, you won't be disappointed.

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.
