We are thrilled to welcome Dr. Danielle Leonard to our practice! Married to Dr. Hans since 2021, the Leonards are proud members of the Hawkeye family, having both earned their degrees from the University of Iowa.

After shadowing her childhood dentist during high school, she returned to the area after completing her dental education. With years of experience as a general dentist, Dr. Danielle has dedicated the last decade to specializing in the care of children and adolescents. She loves listening to her young patients’ stories and encouraging their aspirations.
