Edstrom, Leihua

My philosophy focuses on the utmost respect for the individual, compassion regarding the challenges people experience and a collaborative approach in working with each patient in formulating a practical and effective plan of care.

My approach is to help identify how our intentions are not always recognized through our approaches, and to collaborate and assist in creating plans for getting our needs met and learning to adapt. My experiences in life directed me towards psychology, my education helped me gain an understanding of how to address mental health issues, while my passion for helping others is what I am proud of.

It is important to provide patients with the most up to date information in healthcare. I prefer to collaborate with my patient about what the best plan is for them after reviewing all lifestyle, medical, surgical and alternative treatment options. Ultimately, I want the plan that is going to work best for the patient and I value their input in determining that plan. Women's health is very extensive and complex. It challenges me every day.
