COVID-19 Policy

Vita Medica Institute works to be prepared for all types of infectious diseases such as flu or coronavirus.  Vita Medica Institute’s physicians and staff work diligently to provide our patients with the highest standard of care.

 

 

For the safety of our patients and providers, we will not be evaluating patients who are acutely ill (patients experiencing fever, cough, shortness of breath, sore throat.) Likewise, patients who have recently tested positive for COVID-19, or have come into close contact with someone who has tested positive, will not be seen in-office until symptoms have cleared.  Please advise us of such situation by phone ahead of your appointment.  We have made telemedicine available to patients who cannot be seen in-office due to illness, so that you do not have to miss your scheduled appointment time.

Dr. De Leonni is highly skilled and very thorough. At age 60+, I had been bounced around from neurologist to neurologist in Tucson and the Scottsdale Mayo Clinic and diagnosed incorrectly. It wasn't until I met Dr. De Leonni at Vita Medica that I finally got diagnosed correctly through many thorough procedures and tests. I had been living with partial seizure disorder and severe migraine headaches since childhood. The medications, vitamin supplements, and other needed treatments have given me a second chance for a good life. I trust Dr. De Leonni completely and feel blessed that she came to Tucson. The staff is wonderful, knowledgeable, and always helpful as well. Phone calls are promptly returned and despite my illnesses, I always feel welcomed and comforted by them. Thanks to all of you!!!
