Write a Review757-668-4980

Dr. Leidel traveled the world as a "military brat" until her father completed his 23-plus years in the U.S. Navy and retired. She graduated from Virginia Tech with a bachelor's degree in biochemistry and worked for Sloan-Kettering Memorial Hospital in New York City, researching and performing bone marrow analysis in Dr. Michael Andreef's flow cytometry lab before enrolling in medical school at EVMS. Wanting to be a parent first prior to advising parents, she had her daughter, Lauren, during her fourth year in medical school. She was very fortunate to start private practice with her mentor, Dr. James Arline, at Children's Medical Center of Tidewater. After his passing, she joined PDC Pediatrics.
