Dr. Hodell was raised in Warren, MI where she took an early interest in dentistry, always enjoying trips to her childhood dentist. She even dressed up as a dentist for career day in first grade then as she got older started working as a dental assistant.

Dr. Hodell went on to attend the University of Detroit Mercy for both her undergraduate and her dental degrees, where she enjoyed volunteer opportunities both within the city of Detroit and on a mission trip to the Dominican Republic. She went on to further her education with a General Practice Residency at St. Joseph Mercy Oakland Hospital in Pontiac. Treating medically and dentally complex patients, she was awarded the Craig C. Spangler award for Clinical Excellence and Professionalism in Dentistry.

When she’s not in the office, Dr. Hodell still enjoys volunteering both clinically and as a committee member for the Michigan Dental Association Foundation, aiming to expand access to dental care through grants and scholarships. In her free time, Dr. Hodell enjoys spending time with family and friends, swimming, and traveling.

Dr Lesinski attended the University of Detroit Mercy for both his undergraduate and his dental degree. Spending a lot of time in Detroit gave him a fondness for the history and progress of the city. He views his greatest accomplishments as simply being part of his family and being able to improve someone’s smile.

He writes, “I enjoy being able to blend art, technology, and science to rebuild teeth. Having healthy teeth gives us so many things in life that many take for granted. We usually don’t realize it until they are missing or are having problems.”

When he’s not rebuilding smiles, Dr Lesinski spends time with his wife, Rebecca, and their four children. In his free time, he enjoys volunteer coaching High school wrestling, riding on the Macomb Orchard Trail in the summer with his family, and being terrible at golf.
