About Dr. Letsinger

I love being a physician.

Like you, I worked hard to get here.

Our work can be amazing: intellectually challenging, meaningful, personally rewarding and sometimes, even fun! AND our work can be frustrating and both physically and emotionally exhausting. We need to decide how WE are going to work within our current medical system.

My goal is to help you design an intentional life where you have career longevity in medicine. Medicine can be component of your life which ADDS to the whole of your life, and makes it better, not something you can’t wait to leave behind. We will be better physicians, better family members, better humans if we give this gift to ourselves.

Like you, I’ve attended and worked in many institutions: UCLA, UC Davis School of Medicine, Pennsylvania Hospital / Univ of Pennsylvania Dept of Internal Medicine, UC San Francisco Department of Dermatology.

I am now an attending physician at the Palo Alto Medical Foundation and have a boutique practice as a Physician Executive Coach.
