Leslie C. Escalante, PA-C, MPAS
Leslie is a Board Certified Physician Assistant educated at Texas Tech University School of Allied Health where she received her Masters in Physician Assistant Studies. She has over seven years of experience in pain management and Aesthetics. Understanding there is a need for both Western Medicine and Natural remedies, Leslie decided to open Balanced Health & Beauty to practice personalized medicine. Leslie grew up in a small Texas town in the Midland/Odessa area. Growing up with a close Family taught her to cherish the value of Family, Health, Love, and the Beauty of Life. Spending many years working in Pain Management, she has seen many people in pain with restrictions, and at times coping alone. She has always listened to her patients, and makes her patients comfortable no matter the circumstances, but unfortunately traditional medicine doesn’t always allow for this. So it became her mission to bridge the gap in allopathic and naturopathic medicine, permitting her to assist all who are ready to get back into balance with life and love through optimal health.
