Leah is a Board-Certified Physician Associate with over 15 years of experience in Weight Loss and Aesthetic Medicine.

Leah is originally from Sherrills Ford, NC and attended Appalachian State University for her Bachelor of Science Degree in Exercise Science Pre-Medical with Minors in Biology, Psychology and Chemistry. She then attended Wake Forest University School of Medicine for her Master of Medical Science degree in 2008 followed by her Doctor of Medical Science Degree from the University of Lynchburg in 2020.

Leah’s Doctoral Degree focused on preventative medicine, specifically evaluating time-restricted eating patterns for weight loss.

Leah is happily married to Matt with two girls Emerson and Saylor and Baby #3, a boy, due December 2023. She also has a Bernedoodle who is the friendliest, happiest pup around and playfully called Bodi Trout.

Leah started working at Physicians Plan in 2008 focusing on weight loss while furthering her training in aesthetics. She has been involved in weight loss since age five when her mother started a local fitness gym. “I knew fitness and nutrition would be my life from an early age.” Preventative Medicine has been the central focus of her medical career either through Primary Care or working with patients at Physicians Plan and she loves talking to patients about how small changes add up to profound health improvements.

In addition to weight loss, Leah has developed her aesthetic skills over the past 15 years including training for other injectors and her work can be seen on her professional Instagram account @The_Healthy_Injector.

“I wanted to create a page that my current patients could visit to see that not all aesthetic treatments have to look fake. I preferred natural results back when natural was not the norm, and I will continue to advocate for this within our specialty. Too many “trainers” over the years looked plastic, frozen, and over-filled and I decided to start teaching others more innovative ways to inject while maintaining facial balance.”

Hobbies are rare these days between clinic, training and kiddos, but when able she loves to read, wake surf, and workout, including teaching group fitness. Time away from work always involves her children as they are her greatest gift.

You can see Leah Fleming as a Provider mainly in our Hickory and Huntersville offices, with some travel to the South Carolina offices as well.
