Lesly was raised in Miami. She came into the dental field with no experience and fell in love with it! Lesly’s goal is to make sure that her patients feel comfortable and to meet their individual needs to the best of her abilities. She enjoys educating her patients on the link between oral health and other health issues, like heart disease, stroke, cancer, pregnancy complications and much more! Lesly is bilingual, and she’s glad to be able to help the Spanish speaking community in our clinic.
 
Lesly has been happily married to her husband Jerson for almost 9 years now. They moved from Miami to Millen over 3 years ago to minister to the Spanish speaking community here.  They love the small-town coziness and the people of this community.
