Why You Should Never Take Your Hygienist For Granted with Dr. Leslie Holmes-Leach

Join me on another highly anticipated episode of T-Bone Speaks. In this episode, I interview Dr. Leslie Holmes-Leach from Rocky Top Dentistry about working in a small-town dental practice and why you should value your dental hygienists.

Dr. Leslie Holmes-Leach is from Anderson County and has worked in the dental profession for 20 years. She graduated from the Medical University of South Carolina College of Dental Medicine and then completed a one-year residency at Advanced Education of General Dentistry Residency. There, she trained in placing dental implants, working on complex cases and learning how to attend special needs and anxious patients. In her spare time, she enjoys spending quality time with her family on the lake and volunteering with Remote Area Medical and her local Volunteer Ministry Center.
