Meet Dr. Marissa Leong
Chiropractor
Dr. Marissa Leong is a St. Louis native and Cor Jesu alum. While earning her degree in public health and training to be a health educator, her love of women's health was ignited. After exhausting medical interventions during a personal health issue, Dr. Leong eventually found chiropractic and holistic care was the only care that truly helped her body heal and function the way it was supposed to. Upon learning more about Chiropractic and finding it aligned with her own principles and values in health care, Dr. Leong enrolled at Logan College of Chiropractic.
During her time at Logan, Dr. Leong had the honor of being a Logan Gonstead Intern. Throughout her studies, she applied her passion for women and infants health by studying and applying special techniques (ie. SOT cranial work and certification in Webster Technique) to young women, pregnant women, and infants.
Dr. Leong is excited to be able to care for those in the St. Louis community by helping individuals live out their greatest potential by restoring life expression.
