Provided by Doctor.comLeTa is a breath of fresh air. She is very thorough in her examination and explanation. I got more out of my initial consultation than 10 years with my MD.

Provided by Doctor.comI went to Dr. LeTa as a bit of a skeptic as I had never tried Chinese medicine before. Although, open to new ideas, I was not sure how it could help me. Initially she helped address my chronic pain and as time went on, she was also able to help me with issues I had resigned myself to as part of life (fatigue, depression, etc). By the second week, I noticed a difference. I have since read more about Chinese medicine and know that much of the practice mirrors the chemical compounds in Western Medicine but applied in a more thoughtful manner.
Dr. LeTa is patient and kind. She is wonderfully non-judgmental and genuinely interested in helping find the best treatments for each of her patience and that for each of us that program will look different.
I recommend her to all!
