Dr. Leslie Mendoza-Temple has been seeing me for 18 years since 2008. Her advice and counsel have always been exceptional. I totally rely on her when no other physicians are able to help me. Her observation and understanding of the whole body is so important. Other physicians tend to look at one issue rather than looking at the whole body and the connection of one issue to another. I greatly admire and respect Dr. Temple professionally. In addition, I find her to be extremely compassionate and understanding. I fully appreciate the holistic and natural approach of alternative medicine. Dr. Temple is also one of my favorite people, and I always leave my visits with her with a feeling of well being, calm and peace. She is an exceptional physician.

What a lovely person in addition to being a skilled professional. Dr Temple is a resource for all wellness, listens and helps keep me well. She is the first MD I've met who brings more than "reaction" to medical issues-- she brings preventative guidance to avoid the "getting older" issues women experience. I am grateful for her wisdom, kindness and experience in natural ways to help avoid more serious issues, and for her MD to elevate care or treatment when necessary. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Other MDs should use this practice as a template for advanced holistic care.

Dr. Temple gives invaluable advice. The Integrative Medicine Department is one of the most valuable divisions of your medical system. Integrative MD's knowledge is not available to patients at other hospital systems in the area.

Every experience with Dr. Temple and her team has been positive to say the least. I have worked with Dr. Temple for over three years after a sudden chronic debilitating illness that has left me fully disabled coming from a very vibrant career and family life in my 40s. She has not only helped me with the awful symptom management, but also has been my main point person coordinating care with other physicians. Dr. Temple is a true healer with compassion and kindness that have made each visit actually enjoyable. As a professional working in the medical field myself, I would urge anyone if they have the need and opportunity to work with Dr. Temple to immediately contact her office. There may likely be a wait for new patients as there was for me and it was worth every second I had to wait to work with her. I fully endorse Dr Temple and her team and with sincerity, I am grateful she was suggested as an expert for my condition(s).

She is the only physician who looks at the whole body, whereas others just focus on one issue and do not take anything else into consideration. I have had some unusual health issues over the years, and since she has the ability to look at the whole picture, this usually gets me on the right track to better health. She is a wonderful person and makes her patience feel as though they are important.

Dr Temole's knowledge of using natural medicine in conjunction with traditional medications made a great deal of sense. Using alternative medication to help with pain and general wellbeing during my cancer journey fits into my goals. I do not want to use opioids now because there will come a time in my cancer journey where I will not have a choice and I need my body to be able to work.
