Meet Our Trustworthy Group of Expert Physicians
Hi, I’m Dr. Leslie!
I am a board certified emergency medicine physician with over 20 years in practice. I help professionals like you take control of your medical care on your schedule by giving you the time and resources necessary to manage your health. My concierge practice helps you achieve optimal health free from the worries of who will manage your medical care whenever you are in need.
My Story
I knew at an early age that I wanted to be a physician. My mother became a registered nurse during the time that it was nearly impossible for African-American women to become doctors. As I began to show a keen interest in the sciences and medicine in grade school, medicine became a logical choice.
I chose Emergency Medicine because I was attracted to the variety of patients that I was able to see as well as being able to teach patients about their illness in the effort to prevent them from needing to return for any issues that could be avoided. Over the last 25 years, I have had the privilege of treating thousands of patients and I am passionate about preventative medicine, health management, and emergency services.

My Mission
The concierge functional medicine approach represents a shift in healthcare, focusing on personalized and preventive care that goes beyond the treatment of symptoms to address the root causes of illness. My holistic methodology integrates conventional medicine with lifestyle and nutritional strategies to optimize overall health. By considering factors such as hormonal balance, nutrition, stress management, sleep, and exercise, concierge functional medicine can significantly impact cognitive function, mood stability, weight loss and overall health. Patients receive tailored care plans that address their unique health needs and goals, ensuring a comprehensive strategy for enhancing energy, increasing weight loss, eliminating brain fog and improving chronic disease states.
The concierge model allows for more in-depth consultations, timely interventions, and a strong patient-doctor relationship, all of which are crucial for effective healthcare. Healthcare continues to evolve and my mission is to provide quality care in a concierge fashion to offer an alternative for the busy professional that desires personalized, convenient healthcare.
You are unique and I believe that when it comes to your health, you deserve a tailored, individual approach. This approach includes not only addressing your physical body, but also your mind and spirit. It is the incorporation of mind, body and spirit working in harmony that helps to maintain health.
