About Dr. Leininger

Dr. Leininger earned his medical degree from New York University School of Medicine in 1975. He completed his internship in 1976 and his residency in 1978 at Swedish Family Medicine Residency - Cherry Hill, and is board certified in Family Medicine by the American Board of Family Medicine. He is affiliated with Swedish Cherry Hill and Swedish First Hill.

Before turning to medicine, he was a student and teacher of mathematics and physics, and he chose family medicine for the chance to care for entire families, including medical, minor surgical, obstetrical, and pediatric care. He is a partner in Seattle Premier Health, a concierge medicine practice in Seattle.

Each week, Dr. Leininger volunteers his time and surgical skills at Project Access Northwest, a nonprofit that connects low-income, uninsured patients with specialty medical care. Outside of medicine, he is a lifelong guitarist who moved from rock to jazz, and a world traveler who once brought a travel guitar to Antarctica.
