Whitson Leland G MD

Great old school doctor. Hated to see him retire recently. His departure was a bit abrupt, but spending time with family is priceless.

Dr. Whitson is the typeof MD you want managing your care. He stays up to date with literature, and current practice, utilizes supplements ans well as prescribed medication, and truly treats you like family.
He is my first primary care MD. I had always used urgent care facilites in the past, but a minor health issue made finding a primary care doctor a necessitiy. I am fortunate to have found Dr. Whitson, Charlotte and Vicki. They are a wonderful trio.

Dr. Whitson is as old school as it gets. That’s a good thing! I am so glad I have found him. He is the absolute best. The ladies in his office are top notch as well. Going to a doctor should always feel like your going into a place that cares about you like family. That’s exactly what Dr. Whitson’s office feels like. In the last six months the quality of my life has drastically improved due to his care. I am so thankful for him and his staff.

I loooooooove Dr. Whitson, Charlene and Vicki, his assistants:-)
This office is like the doctors I grew up with, reliable, kind, direct and compassionate!
I went to Dr. Whitson, to help me lose weight due to menopause and chronic fatigue. He listens to you and empathizes with you, as he used to be 300 lbs and is now 150 lbs.
He provided a medical weight loss plan, that included an appetite suppressant and it also only allowed me to eat healthy foods. A cookie or ice cream, would turn my stomach or make me sick, just looking at it!
The plan worked and in 3 months, I lost 25 lbs and have more energy and can exercise more, now. I am a happy camper, thx to Dr. Whitson and his staff.
He is an OB-​GYN, by training and still practices, so I also got my pap smear and blood tests done foe menopause hormones. He has the patch or once a month (or 3wks in my case) bio-​identical hormone shot! No more creams, pills, etc. Just one shot, that contains estrogen, progesterone, testosterone and B-​12! I looooooove it!
He is the greatest Obgyn I have ever been to and the most compassionate man, I have ever met:-)

Dr. Leland Whitson has been my personal Primary Physician for over 10 years. He is the most kind, caring and wise person and an amazing Physician. Dr Whitson has done so much to help people. He delivered thousands of babies many years ago (which he does not do anymore), he is surgeon, an expert in natural hormone balance, and he always knows how to make me feel better quickly when I am sick. Dr Whitson remembers when there was a such thing as a friendly neighborhood doctor that a family could depend on. (Before managed care and insurance companies came in to take over). He is that friendly neighborhood doctor, a friend and an expert. I am a Clinical Nutritionist and I met him through a client of mine over 10 years ago. I was extremely impressed with the level of care he gave our mutual client. I went to meet him and he’s been my Doc ever since. I have sent many of my clients to him and I trust his judgement and decisions for their medical care. If you are looking for a Doctor in the South Bay (Redondo Beach) area, this is the best one I know. Dr. Whitson will spend time with you and really listen to what you are saying. He never rushes his patients and his waiting room is always full but he runs on time. His staff are amazing (Vikky and Charlotte) too. Go see him if you really need a great Doctor but don’t tell too many people because I need to be able to see him once a while. :-)
