Dr. Leslie Kasanoff has dedicated her life to assisting people in attaining health & wellness. Health is like growth; we are always moving in one direction or the other; growing and getting healthier or shrinking and dying.  Dr. Leslie’s commitment is to assist as many people as possible in moving toward health, wellness and growth in all dimensions; physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually throughout life.

A lifetime learner herself, Dr. Leslie began her career as a Medical Laboratory Technologist. But when she found herself assisting in the bone marrow biopsy of a frail elderly woman whose care plan would ultimately not be changed based on the results of this invasive procedure, she realized her life was destined to be committed to restoring true health through natural means; not increasing longevity at the expense of well-being which was what she often found in the hospital setting. Shortly after that, she quit her job in a Boston hospital and explored the Western United States by bicycle for over 3 months before eventually settling on the Central Coast. After a period of exploration and learning about many different philosophies in health, her decision to become a chiropractor brought her to Western States Chiropractic College in Portland, Oregon. After six years in Portland, receiving her Doctorate of Chiropractic and having her first child, she relocated back to the Central Coast with her family to start a practice in 1991.

Dr. Leslie’s greatest desire is that our children have the opportunity to grow up healthy. Parents of children with varied problems like ADD/ADHD, Asthma, Ear Infections and more find their children are far healthier and are often able to stop medication when her gentle hands are applied. Dr. Leslie also volunteers as a guest speaker at schools in our community and is a volunteer leader in Los Osos 4H. She also speaks to various groups throughout the Central Coast as her schedule allows. Her topics include Strategies for Healthy Living, Injury Prevention and more for adult audiences. Children enjoy her talk All About Me-Bones and Nerves for Kids, backpack safety and healthy eating topics.

While recognizing the feats of modern medicine, Dr. Leslie truly believes that it can not solve our current “health care crises” or make our children healthier. She says that knowledge about the body, proper nutrition & exercise and a properly functioning Nervous System (the body’s CPU) together with a philosophical change that looks to restore health through natural means rather than taking drugs as a first line of defense is what will alter our results and make a difference both in the cost of our health care and in its outcome.
