Brianna Leon, MD

My favorite animated movie is Sing.

My favorite children’s book is The Magic Finger because it was part of my first school project.

My favorite childhood toy was Cabbage Patch Kids dolls.

My grandmother, she was the person that taught me about compassion and sparked my desire to help those in need

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my dogs and going to the beach.

I became interested in pediatrics because children are incredibly resilient which is inspiring, and their honesty brought a joy that was unique compared to any other field

One of my strongest qualities is my ability to communicate with both children and adults in a way that feels respectful, clear, and reassuring
I’m especially patient and observant, which helps me pick up on nonverbal cues—whether a child is anxious, overwhelmed. I take the time to build trust first, even if that means slowing down, getting on the child’s eye level, or using play and humor to reduce fear.
