Lissande Laverty is a board-certified Physician Assistant with strong medical
experience in the primary care and internal medicine setting. In her various positions,
Lissande focused on making a positive impact by employing individual-based care,
including the application of preventive medicine modalities. Her interest in integrative
medicine and holistic health care is therefore the natural outcome of her health care
career, having observed the limitations of conventional treatments for many chronic
conditions. She has treated patients who have described benefits from alternative
therapies, including acupuncture, herbal medicine and mindfulness practices. Utilizing
integrative medicine therefore reflects her belief in comprehensive and personalized
healthcare approaches that address both the physical and emotional well-being of her patients.

Physician Assistant program at the University of Utah, consistently ranked within the top
five programs in the United States. Additionally, as a native San Diegan, she has
