Originally a medical doctor trained in plastic and reconstructive surgery and hand surgery, Dr. Letitia changed her medical practice to Functional Medicine when, through her own health journey, she found that many health issues are not always recognized or comprehensively addressed by conventional medicine.
As a functional medicine physician, she felt that she could truly help people who are suffering from chronic and complex health issues and environmental toxicities such as heavy metals, Lyme and mold. There are many factors which contribute to disease, and identifying and addressing these is imperative to regaining and optimizing health. Dr. Jennifer 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. As a medical doctor, Dr. Letitia can use all forms of treatment as indicated or preferred by the patient, prescription or not.
While conventional medicine often rushes patients through short, rushed visits, Dr. Letitia typically spends 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 hours on her initial visits to develop a nurturing relationship with her patients and to gain a comprehensive understanding of each case. Follow up visits are often an hour or more and are scheduled as needed to follow or adjust the patient’s healing journey. Partnering with her patients, her goal is to guide her patients in a way that their body heals itself. Through advanced testing protocols; herbal, medical and nutrient support; and therapies such as ozone and Prolozone, Dr. Letitia helps her patients in their journey to better health.
