Leighton regards health and wellness as deeply personal. She is a proponent of ensuring that patients are equipped with the knowledge and tools they need to make decisions. She believes that encouraging patients to make their own choices regarding their bodies and health is the best way she can advocate for their well-being. Her motivation for helping women navigate the intricacies of personal well-being stem from Leighton’s personal experience as a patient in multiple gynecological offices. She knows first-hand how intimidating women’s health can be and wants to create positive and safe environments for her patients. Leighton is excited to continue serving the Arizona community and embraces patients of all backgrounds. She celebrates cultural diversity and takes great responsibility in honoring the unique needs of each and every patient.

Leighton is an Arizona native and was born and raised in Chandler. She briefly lived in Colorado after finishing her undergraduate degree, but was drawn back to her home in the heat and has plans to stay indefinitely. She has a Weimaraner named Gunner who she absolutely adores. Leighton is close with her family and enjoys spending time with them on weekends. She also enjoys traveling, learning about different cultures, reading, and exploring new culinary delights.
