Leah Clough PA-C

I believe in treating the whole person, not just the specific complaint."

Treatment philosophy: "I believe in treating the whole person, not just the specific complaint that brought him/her to our office." Leah makes use of adjunctive therapies, such as acupuncture, nutrition, physical therapy, hypnosis, and counseling when treating her patients. "I often see myself as much a 'treatment choreographer' as a pure clinician.""

Professional journey: "Ever since I was a little girl, I have been intrigued by all things medical." Leah's interest grew suddenly when she fractured her leg at the age of nine. The doctors and nurses who treated her sensed her fear, but also her curiosity. They took the time to explain everything they were doing and answered her "endless barrage of questions." "I always loved the sciences; in school it was my favorite subject. I also knew that I wanted a career in which I could help folks in need and make a significant and positive impact on their lives. Medicine was the perfect fit."

"When I'm not treating my patients, I enjoy... reading, working out, being outside, traveling, and hanging out with my two daughters, Alexis and Madeleine, my "old" husband Christopher, family and friends.""

February is American Heart Month!

According to the CDC, cardiovascular disease, including stroke, is the leading cause of death in the United States. Knowing the signs and symptoms is critical to the having the most positive outcome after having a heart attack. Rapid medical attention, calling 911 as soon as symptoms occur, will greatly increase the chance of survival. Although many still think of heart disease as a man's disease, women account for 47% of related deaths. The CDC also notes that women are more likely to delay seeking emergency treatment because they tend to experience the less common symptoms.

You CAN reduce your heart disease risk!

The important thing is that you take steps now to prevent, or if you already have heart disease, to control your heart disease risk factors.

Surviving a Heart Attack

Fast action is your best defense! Getting help quickly, having clot busting or artery opening medications administered IMMEDIATELY after symptoms occur can stop or limit damage from a heart attack. The sooner these drugs are started the more good they'll do with the greatest chance of recovery! To be most effective these medications need to be given within 1 hour after symptoms begin.
