Originally a medical doctor trained in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and Hand Surgery, Dr. Letitia changed her medical focus to functional medicine. She found that conventional medicine does not always recognize or comprehensively address many health issues. As a functional medicine physician, she felt she could genuinely help people suffering from chronic and complex health issues and environmental toxicities such as heavy metals, Lyme, and mold. Many factors contribute to disease and identifying and addressing these is imperative to regaining and optimizing health. Dr. Letitia understands, too, that the body is an integrated whole, and addressing lifestyle factors and emotional well-being is also critical to living a healthy and fulfilled life.
