Professional Statement

Chris Leininger was a talented student and teacher of mathematics and physics before turning to medicine. He recognized that family medicine would afford him the satisfaction and stimulation of providing entire families with their medical, minor surgical, obstetrical and pediatric care. A musician with a lifelong love of guitar, Dr. Leininger left his rock ‘n' roll days behind and transitioned to jazz, which he actively pursues today. He even took his Martin travel guitar with him to Antarctica. Through his music he has found an additional way to connect with others. He is a world traveler and intuitive navigator who can find his way around anywhere.
