About Dr. Talton
Born and raised in Stuart, Florida, Dr. Leighan Talton has always believed that the best medical care begins with relationships. She earned her undergraduate degree from the University of Florida before pursuing the whole‑person philosophy of Osteopathic Medicine at the Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine in Bradenton. Inspired by nearly every rotation in medical school, she chose Family Medicine and completed her training at the St. Vincent’s Family Medicine Residency Program in Jacksonville, a dually accredited MD/DO program where she served as Chief Resident.
Returning home to Stuart was a lifelong dream. Dr. Talton and her husband, Jat, are grateful to raise their children close to family, and she feels honored to care for the community that shaped her — including family, friends, and the physician mentors who guided her career.
Today, Dr. Talton’s practice is built on the belief that meaningful relationships lead to better health. She takes the time to truly know her patients — their histories, families, priorities, and goals — so she can provide thoughtful, individualized care that extends far beyond routine visits. One of her greatest joys is caring for multiple generations within the same family. These close connections create a unique sense of community and allow her to understand each patient’s life in a deeper, more personal way. Many new patients come through referrals from those already under her care, a reflection of the trust she has built over the years.
Dr. Talton is Board Certified in Obesity Medicine, completing advanced training to better support patients navigating one of the most prevalent and complex chronic conditions. “Not a day in practice goes by without a conversation about weight management,” she says. “I wanted to ensure I had the most up‑to‑date knowledge to help my patients.”
For Dr. Talton, medicine has always been about more than diagnoses and prescriptions — it’s about listening, partnering with patients, and building lasting relationships that support health for years to come.
