Dr. Leering

I've always had an interest in healthcare, but decided to go to medical school after spending my senior summer at Akron Children's as part of the Pediatric Research Scholars' Program. It's so fulfilling to return to the place that started it all and give back to this hospital, my community and my patients. I earned my medical degree from Ohio University Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine.

I volunteered at my pediatrician's office when I was in high school and knew then that I wanted to become a pediatrician. The best thing about kids is that they are funny, honest and you never really know what they are going to say (my three kids included). I love being part of Akron Children's and living in the Akron area. I earned my medical degree from Wright State University Boonshoft School of Medicine and am certified through the American Board of Pediatrics.
