Leanna Gonzales is a highly compassionate and dedicated physician assistant with extensive patient care experience and deep knowledge in functional and integrative medicine. Patients greatly appreciate her attentiveness and diagnostic skills—she truly cares and listens intently to identify and address the root causes of conditions and patient concerns. Committed to providing whole-person care and achieving better patient outcomes, PA Gonzales joined the clinical team at TLC in 2023. Prior to shifting her practice focus to functional medicine and joining TLC, PA Gonzales served as a physician assistant in urology and gastroenterology centers, including UC Irvine Health Urology, Advanced Urology Medical Center, Skyline Urology, DeGuzman Medical Gastroenterology, and Trina Health. Throughout her career, she has also been involved in clinical research, program development, team leadership, and patient education.

Recognizing that traditional Western medicine wasn’t fully serving her patients, PA Gonzales completed the Integrative Health & Lifestyle Program from the University of Arizona in 2021, having also received a prestigious tuition scholarship from the Andrew Weil Center for Integrative Medicine. While earning her Master of Physician Assistant Practice from the University of Southern California (2012), she completed clinical rotations in urological surgery, cardiothoracic surgery, general orthopedics, and orthopedic trauma surgery at LAC+USC Medical Center, along with various rotations with several other medical clinics and hospitals. PA Gonzales enjoys spending time with her husband, who is also a physician assistant, and their daughter.
