Hello, I’m Leslie. I grew up in a small town in rural Arizona. My husband John and I have been married for over 10 years. We have 3 wonderful daughters ages 7, 5 and 3 and they are so much fun! We love all things outdoors, and our crew (including our German Shepherd puppy) are frequently hiking, backpacking, camping, or Jeeping.
I have worked in healthcare since 2008 when I interned at the first primary care office in our small town. I became a Registered Nurse in 2011 from Yavapai College and thoroughly enjoyed my career working in acute care and Emergency Departments in the Valley. Yet, I still felt a call to help people stay healthy, and intervene before they were hospitalized. I returned to school to become a Family Nurse Practitioner and graduated from Grand Canyon University in April 2018. Over the years I have had several invaluable mentors, one of which being Dr. Farnsworth. I love the direct primary care format, where the providers have a unique opportunity to connect with the patients in an un-rushed, un-insurance regulated way. Having worked in various capacities through out my healthcare journey, I do not feel like any part of my patients’ care is “not my job”. I truly value what my patients have to say and want to partner with them to live their healthiest life.
