Marisa Leighton, NP

Marisa Leighton chose a career in family medicine so that she could help to improved the health of individuals and communities. She has been influenced by her children and always strives to set a good example for them in how she conducts herself both at home and at work. Marisa looks forward to work each day because of the great team she works with and the reward of helping her patients reach their health goals. She finds a special interested in women;s health, chronic disease prevention and treatment  and adolescent healthcare.In her free time, Marisa enjoys volunteers at her children's school. She also likes spending time with her family and friends, traveling and running. My approach to practicing medicine is to provide comprehensive and compassionate healthcare for patients and their families by promoting healthy lifestyles and disease prevention. I believe the best outcomes are achieved by  a strong provider-patient partnership that integrates evidenced-based …medicine with patient preference.
