About
Born and raised in Tennessee, Leah Gilliam, MD, is living her dream of practicing family medicine in her hometown community. Dr. Gilliam uses the direct primary care model to provide personalized family medicine to patients of all ages and backgrounds at The Doctor’s Office @ 83 S. Main in Lexington, Tennessee. Practicing family medicine is more than just a profession for Dr. Gilliam, it’s her calling. She’s been passionate about the field since receiving a doctor Barbie® doll for her fourth birthday. Throughout childhood, Dr. Gilliam interacted with young, enthusiastic family physicians that her mother worked with and quickly became enamored with the prospect of one day practicing herself.
After graduating from Lexington High School, Dr. Gilliam earned a bachelor’s degree in biological sciences at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. She went on to complete her medical degree at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center and a family medicine residency at the University of Tennessee, Jackson. She now delivers care through a direct primary care model that emphasizes longer visits, same‑day appointments, and inclusive lab and medication coverage, aiming to reduce the administrative burden of traditional insurance.
