Bio:

Dr. Leland Stillman became a doctor to help people achieve their highest potential. Whether they are struggling with a chronic illness or are seeking the next level of performance in their work, their relationships, or their vocations, he can help them achieve the excellent health that they desire and deserve.

You probably realize that modern medicine is focused on “treatments” rather than “cures.” Dr. Stillman has little interest in “treating” disease – he is determined to cure disease. Hippocrates, one of history’s greatest physicians, said, “The physician treats, but nature cures.” And he believes this is possible, even in seemingly, “incurable,” cases. This is why, after completing medical school and specializing in Internal Medicine, he chose to study natural and functional medicine. When you work with Dr. Stillman, he develops a comprehensive plan to restore and optimize your health, using the most scientifically advanced diagnostics and therapeutics available, alongside ancient healing practices that have stood the test of time.

Dr. Stillman's interest is in optimal health and performance beginning with his own experiences as a patient. As a child, he suffered from ear and sinus infections, and ADHD. Despite going to the best doctors and having access to excellent medical care, he continued to struggle to be healthy. He was frustrated by the unseen forces that he knew were holding him back. His curiosity grew so intense that he decided to become a physician. He studied Environmental Health at Connecticut College and received his medical doctorate from the University of Virginia. He specialized in Internal Medicine, completing a three-year residency at Maine Medical Center. Over the course of his career, he has been fortunate to study with some of the greatest minds in medicine. His mentors have included naturopaths, acupuncturists, chiropractors, and homeopaths, as well as medical doctors. As he has learned more and more about the true determinants of health, he began to achieve higher and higher levels of performance and well-being for himself. He takes the best of many disciplines and therapeutic modalities and works with you to develop a comprehensive plan to achieve your health and performance goals.

Today, he works with people all over the world. He uses a systematic approach that addresses all aspects of your diet, lifestyle, mindset, and environment that impact your health. When you work with Dr. Stillman, he doesn't just “treat” you, he teaches you how to live a healthy life. This is not a one-size-fits-all approach either – everything is tailored to your unique case, from your diet to your exercise routine. Hippocrates said that, “The greatest medicine of all is teaching people how not to need it.” That is exactly what I do.
