Meet Dr. Spiers

News you can use. At the onset of his career, Dr. Leon Spiers used journalism to tell stories about medical advances and research in terms people could use in their own lives.

After transitioning to practicing medicine, Dr. Spiers has spent more than 35 years translating health care into news you can use to improve your health and wellness. 

As a board-certified family medicine and concierge doctor in Richmond, VA, Dr. Spiers helps patients navigate the various issues that pop up at every stage of life.

And to provide high-quality care to his patients, Dr. Spiers listens. 

"The better part of most diagnoses can be made by listening to the patient," he says. "It’s about asking the right questions and getting a good history. This takes time. At PartnerMD, patients have time to tell their stories and we have time to work together to address their needs."

Once that foundation is formed, Dr. Spiers helps patients manage all of life’s challenges by continuing to ask questions and listening. 

"And that takes time. At PartnerMD, we, as health care providers, have time to listen to our patients, get the complete picture, and use that information to address both immediate and long-term health and wellness goals."

Dr. Spiers: Beyond the Exam Room

Dr. Spiers lives in Richmond, VA, with his wife and growing family — including daughters, sons-in-laws, and grandchildren — nearby. 

He enjoys hiking and exploring places (mountains, beaches, towns, etc.) and studying history, including folk history, folk tales, and what peoples’ experiences can tell us about our lives today. 

Dr. Spiers once spent the night alone in a haunted house, and published his experience in an anthology about haunted houses. 

He also continues to enjoy reading and practicing journalism when he can, and he has written for both the Richmond Times-Dispatch and WTVR CBS 6’s Health Team.
