LeVonne G. Powell-Tillman, MD

I was drawn to a career in medicine as it melds my interest in biology while allowing for engagement with a diverse array of people and serving others. My approach to care is forming a collaborative relationship with patients and shared decision making. I enjoy educating and giving patients the tools and resources to pursue their health goals. My areas of special interest include preventive medicine and wellness, allergies and asthma, managing chronic kidney disease, hypertension, and mental health. Outside of work I enjoy gardening, jewelry making, travel, reading, and almost anything outdoors.

I became a doctor because I always liked science growing up but didnt like working in a lab. I missed talking to people. Medicine seemed like a great way to combine the two. The best doctors arent necessarily the smartest ones; they are the ones who connect best with their patients. I try to treat patients like they are my own family. Its important to communicate well with the patient and their family so they understand their disease, why we are recommending certain testing, and why certain treatments are important. Outside of work, I like spending time with my wife and three kids. I also enjoy golfing, exercising, and watching University of Michigan and UNC sports (football and basketball).

I became a doctor to serve others. I strive to provide quality patient care. When I am not working, I enjoy spending time with my children, running and baking.
