About Us
Lado Healing Institute
Leonard A Lado MD
With over 40 years of experience in the field, my career began after completing my training in 1993 and has since taken me through various specializations. The addiction epidemic in the United States propelled me into the realm of detoxification and addiction treatment, where I developed extensive expertise in protocols for Suboxone, benzodiazepines, and alcohol detox. As my practice evolved, I embraced the future of psychiatric care, focusing on cutting-edge brain-stimulating technologies such as transcranial magnetic stimulation, pulse ultrasound, and vagus nerve stimulation.
My many years of clinical trial research have given me an astute mind in selecting treatments that offer the best representation and outcomes for my patients. Along the way, I have acquired new skills, including pharmacogenetics, which allows me to customize medication selection based on individual genetic profiles. Recognizing the critical role of nutrition and exercise in impacting the nervous system, I have integrated these components into my practice to offer a more holistic and functional approach to psychiatry. My background in pharmacy further enhances my ability to tailor treatments, combining psychopharmacology with these innovative and integrative methods.
I invite you to experience the transformative care at my practice, where our advanced approaches are making a profound difference in patients’ lives.
