Dr. Ledbetter has been in clinical practice in San Antonio, Texas since moving here in 2000. His interest is in preventive medicine and holistic patient care. “With early detection, screening, and thoughtful guidance, I want to assist patients in living longer fuller lives.”
His experience, training and continued education provides an opportunity to find root causes of disease and restore the health of the patient. “I want to re-establish the doctor patient relationship, without constraints of outside influences, and move the practice of medicine away from prescriber to provider.”
Outside of medicine Dr Ledbetter enjoys nature: fishing, paddle boarding, kayaking, swimming, and hiking. Spending time with family, getting exercise, reading and meditation are essential to the mind-body-spirit of optimal health, he promotes.
