Meet The Doctors

Dr. Leanne Armstrong

Doctor Leanne grew up in Ontario and always had a love of medicine and medical applications. She graduated with a degree in kinesiology from McMaster University and obtained her residency from the University of British Columbia, graduating in 1995.

She worked in obstetrics for many years before heading back into full service general practice, treating patients of all ages.
