Meet Our Doctors
Leslie Spangler, DDS
Dr. Leslie Spangler grew up in Eau Claire and graduated from Memorial High School. She then moved to Madison and completed her undergraduate degree from the University of Wisconsin – Madison in medical microbiology and immunology with highest honors. While pursuing her studies rigorously, she also enjoyed her time as a trumpet player in the Wisconsin Marching Band.
Following graduation, Dr. Spangler moved across the border to Minneapolis to attend dental school at the University of Minnesota. There, she developed a passion and skill in the area of endodontics (root canals), periodontics (gum treatment), and pediatrics. Upon graduating from dental school, she immediately returned home to Wisconsin and the Chippewa Valley.
Today, Dr. Spangler lives in Eau Claire with her husband, Bill; their three young children, Sylvia, Nolan, Charles; and their black Labrador, Stella. When not seeing patients, Dr. Spangler enjoys long distance running, reading, and following Wisconsin Badger sports. She is a member of the American Dental Association, Wisconsin Dental Association, Northwest District Dental Society, Seattle Study Club, and Chippewa Valley Study Club.
Aimee D’Amour, DDS
Dr. Aimee D’Amour had the pleasure of joining Clearwater Dental in February 2022 and she could not be happier to be part of this amazing team.
Dr. D’Amour is proud to have grown up in Michigan’s beautiful upper peninsula, which is known for its outdoor recreation. She completed her undergraduate studies in biology and chemistry at St. Norbert College in De Pere. Wisconsin, while playing on the basketball team. After that adventure, she continued on to attend Marquette University School of Dentistry, earning her DDS in 2013. Dr. D’Amour strives to provide excellent, honest care to her patients and treat everyone like family. Because there is always more to learn, she is passionate about continuing education and has completed advanced courses in implants and Invisalign®. For the past 10 years, she has had the opportunity to practice in various locations around the Midwest while her husband, Nathan, completed his medical training. They are thankful to be settling down in Eau Claire with their two young daughters, Avery and Elloise.
When not in the office, Dr. D’Amour loves being in the great outdoors whether it be a snowy winter or sunny summer. Favorite activities include both downhill and cross-country skiing, biking and spending weekend at their family’s lake house in the gorgeous Northwoods. Any opportunity to enjoy live music will gladly be taken advantage of. Over the next few years, Aimee and Nathan are looking forward to exploring their new hometown of Eau Clarie and having fun along the way.

Bobbi – Clinic Manager
I love being part of the Clearwater Dental team. It’s truly a joy to work in such a positive atmosphere with amazing doctors and team members. Everyone is focused on delivering the best care and creating healthy smiles for our patients. Even better, they make our patients smile and laugh while they’re here! I want our patients to have a wonderful experience and look forward to seeing us again.
My husband, Mark, and I have three children, 32 grandchildren, and one dog. We love time at our home in the country, morning workouts, camping and boating.
Jackie – Assistant Clinic Manager
Jackie has been with our team for over nine years. She enjoys being part of a smaller practice with such great coworkers, and loves helping our patients throughout their appointments, using her knowledge of insurance to help them understand and utilize their benefits.
Jackie and her husband, Jay, have two sons, Preston and Payton. Outside of the office she enjoys attending sporting events, reading, taking walks and going on vacation somewhere warm.
Colette – Dental Hygienist
I enjoy getting to know our new patients and learning about their lives. It’s just as enjoyable to care for an established patient who has become a friend. I like helping people I care about succeed in their dental and smile goals. I concentrate on patient education, teaching people why it’s important to keep their mouth clean and how to do so. I also perform hygiene cleanings, take photos and X-rays, and administer fluoride rinses.
Renee – Dental Hygienist
I have been part of the team for six years! I like building meaningful, lasting relationships with patients, while providing comfortable care. Each patient has his and her own clinical and personal needs. By listening to and talking with them, I’m able to help them learn that they’re in good hands while here. While I clean a patient’s teeth and provide preventive care, I teach them about oral health. Together, we find the home dental hygiene practices and products that will keep their smile healthy and beautiful.
I’m originally from Sauk City and now live in Fall Creek with my husband and our sons, Shane and Casey. We have two Australian Shepherds, Dixie and Monty. I enjoy walking and hiking with the dogs, gardening, and being outdoors.
Maggie – Dental Hygienist
I have been with Clearwater Dental for three years, and my patients are the best part of my job! Each one is unique and has a different story. They keep me on my toes and give me new experiences every day! I am a great team player and fill in wherever I’m needed to help keep our office running smoothly.
I enjoy spending time with my husband, Erik, our daughter, Lela, and our dog, Bedford. I love to ski, snowmobile, and go out on the boat! I’ve lived in Eau Claire for over 10 years. I love the Chippewa Valley. There’s so much to do, and it’s beautiful here!
Sarah S.– Dental Assistant
I enjoy working with our patients, making sure they have a positive experience and leaving with a smile. It’s fun to get to know people and build relationships with them. I look forward to their visits and catching up on their lives. I prepare patients to see the doctor, take impressions and create models, prepare and mix materials, and perform laboratory functions. I also offer chairside assistance, making sure the doctors have what they need while making sure our patients are relaxed.
When I’m not working, I love spending time with my family and friends. I enjoy going to see live music and have been fortunate to perform live with some local groups.
Kristy – Dental Assistant
I have been part of the Clearwater Dental team since 2016. I love helping patients with their teeth and striving to meet their needs. I work with the dentists by performing chairside assistance. I also take impressions from models and perform other lab duties. I am originally from Chippewa Falls but live here in Eau Claire. I love reading, crocheting, kayaking, talking to my plants and playing with my parents’ two golden retrievers, Gracie and Jaxon, and my cat, Kassy.
Ellen
I graduated from CVTC’s dental assistant program in May 2022 and had an opportunity to join the team shortly after. It is wonderful getting to know the patients and work with everyone. I assist with dental procedures and take X-rays and impressions. When I am not working, I enjoy being outside hiking trails, spending time with friends and family, seeing live music and traveling.
Sarah P.
I have been part of the team since June 2022. I graduated from UWEC with a music performance degree and on my days off I perform with the Chippewa Valley Symphony Orchestra as the second flutist. In my free time, I love doing embroidery, reading, drawing and painting.
Savana
Working in the dental field allows me to help people with their self-esteem. Teeth are one of the first things a person notices about you. I enjoy being able to create or maintain beautiful smiles and to be a part of patients’ dental journeys. I like to be with my puppy and my friends. I also enjoy spending time with my younger siblings.
Alana
Clearwater Dental has been a great step in my dental hygiene career after graduating from Northcentral Technical College in 2021. The close-knit team and patient-oriented office is exactly the fit I wanted. It has been a great experience getting to know our patients and helping them further their dental hygiene education. While I am not at work, I enjoy being the outdoors and hanging with my friends and family. I also have an Australian shepherd named Loyd who keeps me on my toes.
