A doctor who stays with you—
not just for today's visit.
Board-certified internal medicine. Personalized primary care that treats the whole patient, manages chronic conditions proactively, and helps you stay well year after year.
What We Offer
Comprehensive care for
every stage of life
From routine checkups to complex chronic disease management, we provide the full spectrum of internal medicine services in a setting where you're known by name.
Chronic Disease Management
Coordinated, ongoing care for diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, asthma, and other conditions that require long-term attention and adjustment.
Diagnostic & Lab Services
On-site laboratory testing and diagnostic imaging referrals, so results come faster and follow-up happens while you're still in the office.
Family-Centered Care
We treat adults of all ages—parents, grandparents, and everyone in between. Your health history and family context shape every decision we make together.
Specialist Coordination
When you need a referral, we coordinate with trusted specialists across the region and ensure information flows both ways so nothing falls through the cracks.
Direct Physician Access
Call our office and speak with Dr. Gingles directly—no gatekeepers, no long hold times. When you have a concern, you get a doctor on the line.
About Dr. Gingles
Trained at the highest level.
Committed to your neighborhood.
Dr. Leonard L Gingles is a board-certified internist who completed his residency training at the University of Alabama at Birmingham—one of the nation's leading academic medical centers. That rigorous foundation in internal medicine shapes everything he does at the practice.
He chose Sylacauga because he believes patients here deserve the same depth of expertise available in larger cities, without the impersonal rush of high-volume clinics. Every visit is structured to allow time for listening, thorough examination, and clear explanation.
Whether you're managing a chronic condition, navigating a new diagnosis, or simply maintaining your health, Dr. Gingles approaches each patient as a partner—not a chart number.

Our Approach
Medicine that starts
with a conversation
We don't believe in one-size-fits-all treatment plans. Your health goals, lifestyle, and preferences matter. Every visit begins with an honest discussion about where you are and where you want to be.

Listen First Understand your full health picture—medical history, family context, and personal goals—before recommending anything.
-
02
Explain Clearly No jargon. No rushed explanations. We make sure you understand your condition and every option available to you.
-
03
Plan Together Decisions are collaborative. You set the pace, and we adjust the plan as your health evolves over time.
-
04
Stay With You We track your progress across visits, catch changes early, and keep you on the right path between appointments.
