Meet The Doctor: Janelle Lee, DDS, MSD
Going to great lengths to make sure children experience an easy and fun dental appointment is Dr. Lee’s priority. As the founder of Bloom Pediatric Dentistry, Dr. Lee uses a unique, individualized approach with patients to make sure they have an upbeat visit.
Dr. Lee has always had a passion for helping children and adults reach optimal oral and overall health. She received her bachelor’s degree in biological sciences from Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and then she earned her dental degree at the LSU School of Dentistry. After working as a general dentist for six years at a private dental practice serving patients of all ages, she discovered her special love for working with children. This prompted her to return and complete a residency in pediatric dentistry at LSU School of Dentistry and Children’s Hospital of New Orleans. Dr. Lee is a Diplomate of the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry (Board Certified).

“It’s my goal to make sure every child has a great experience at the dentist. I absolutely love working with children and am honored to play a role in their lives in shaping their view of dentistry. Positive reinforcement and building helpful relationships with my patients and their parents is essential. When I arrive at the office each morning, I sincerely look forward to meeting new patients and catching up with those that I’ve gotten to know on a personal level over the years.”
Dr. Lee was born in Montana, grew up in Slidell, Louisiana, a suburb of New Orleans, and now resides in Phoenix, Arizona, where she thoroughly enjoys the warm weather and the year-round sunshine. In her spare time, Dr. Lee enjoys hiking, running (She is a Boston qualifier, and a 2013 Boston Marathon finisher), taking fitness classes, cooking, spending time with family and friends, and exploring her new home state of Arizona.
