"Dr. Teresa M. Leverett was born in Long Beach, CA raised in Portland, Maine and later Rochester, New York where she attended high school. From there it was to Buffalo, where she graduated cum laude with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology from the State University of New York at Buffalo. Dr. Leverett attended medical school in Old Westbury, Long Island at the New York Institute of Technology College of Osteopathic Medicine. That is where she met her husband and married him at the end of her junior year of medical school. They moved to Pontiac, Michigan where she completed a general practice internship. She completed her training in family medicine in Bangor, Maine at Eastern Maine Medical Center. Dr. Leverett and her family have been New Hampshire residents since 1995 and in the seacoast area since 2002. It is there that they have made their home and can’t imagine living anywhere else. Dr. Teresa M. Leverett has been board certified by the American Board of Family Medicine since 1994. Her licensure is through the State of New Hampshire Board of Medicine. She currently holds memberships with American Academy of Family Physicians, American Academy of Private Physicians, New Hampshire Osteopathic Association, New Hampshire Medical Society, New Hampshire Academy of Family Physicians and National Association of Professional Women. For more than 20 years Dr. Leverett was an employed physician working for hospitals and corporate entities, dealing with the ever-increasing obstacles to patient care created by bureaucracy. It had always been her dream to hang her own shingle. Direct Primary Care allows the doctor to work exclusively for the patient because the obstacles and frustrations of insurance and administrators are eliminated allowing dedicated patient service. Her training in osteopathic medicine focused on a holistic approach and the importance of prevention. The role of a physician is optimizing the whole person’s ability to get and stay healthy. She looks forward to developing the relationships with her patients that make all that possible. Dr. Leverett has special interests in adult and geriatric medicine, adolescent medicine, dermatology, skin procedures, cancer prevention, chronic disease prevention and management and travel medicine."
