Meet Our
Administrative Staff
Leslie Jimenez, CMA, CMOM
Leslie Jimenez, our wonderful office manager, has greatly contributed to the establishment of Northwoods Pediatric Center since May 2000. She whole-heartedly enjoys working with children – often referring to them as her own “kiddos” – as well as their families.
With Leslie’s efforts, Northwoods has grown from a single provider to a multi-provider office serving the Spring/ The Woodlands area. She oversees the day-to-day functioning of the practice and continuously works to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the care we deliver to patients, as well as creating an environment that’s welcoming and friendly.
Leslie and her husband have two children that keep her on her toes with their schooling and sports. She enjoys shopping, dancing, watching sports, and traveling!
