About Leslie S. Phillips, DDS

Dr. Leslie Snow Phillips grew up in San Diego’s East County. With a passion for fine art and a keen interest in medicine, she realized that a career in dentistry was, for her, the perfect fusion of art and science. She attended San Diego State University as a pre-dentistry student receiving a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology, graduating Summa Cum Laude. She then attended the University of California Los Angeles School of Dentistry. Upon graduating from UCLA, Dr. Phillips served our country in the United States Air Force, working as a general dentist for four years, where she received extensive post-doctoral training in all aspects of general dentistry. Following her military service, Dr. Phillips returned to her roots in San Diego and has been practicing general dentistry in the El Cajon and San Carlos communities for more than 30 years. Dr. Phillips provides all aspects of general dentistry including restorative dentistry and preventive care. Her goal is to help her patients achieve and maintain optimal dental health throughout their lifetimes. By clearly communicating and explaining procedures before, during, and after, she allows her patients to feel relaxed and comfortable. Her gentle, conservative, and, comprehensive approach has earned her the trust and loyalty of her patients. She loves caring for family members of all ages, and, has transformed smiles for generations of patients over the years. Dr. Phillips and her husband Nick have been married for over thirty years. They have a grown son. In addition to practicing dentistry, Dr. Phillips enjoys travel, cooking, and spending time with her family.
