Dr. Lee Brady is a bundle of energy and encouragement who positively impacts everyone she encounters. She graduated from the University of Florida College of Dentistry in 1988. She was an associate in a capitation practice for five years in Gainesville, Florida, and was a part-time clinical instructor in the Santa Fe Community College Dental Hygiene program during this period. She then developed her own solo fee-for-service practice in Tucker, Georgia.

After six years, she took a two-year sabbatical to be home with her three children. She then returned to private practice as an associate in Jacksonville, Florida, and attended The Pankey Institute Continuum.

Since January 2005, she has been a resident clinical instructor at The Pankey Institute and developed a private practice at The Pankey Institute in Key Biscayne, Florida. Her passion for optimal oral health care and teaching have earned her high recognition as a speaker, educational facilitator, and clinical instructor. She was appointed to the position of Clinical Director of The Pankey Institute in March 2006.

She is passionate about solving complex cases, understanding the needs and concerns of her patients, facilitating the success of colleagues, and through her conversations and writing helping dentists find balance in their lives and learn from her failures and successes. She is as vibrant and compassionate in her personal life as she is in the classroom and operatory. Lee treasures her career, family life, and personal time.
