Leila Ninya is a registered dietitian at our Beaches, Flemming, Southside, and St. Augustine location. Leila dedicates her time working with patients directly to help them reach their nutritional goals.

Born and raised in Jacksonville, Leila is a devoted healthcare professional who prides herself on being part of a practice that prioritizes patient-centered care.

Personally touched by the impact of cancer through her loved ones, Leila is deeply committed to providing compassionate care and support to patients, specifically when dealing with food and nutritional goals. Leila’s wish is that all patients understand that all foods can be enjoyed in moderation as a part of a balanced diet. “We’re all human,” she continues, “if you want a cookie, have a cookie!”

Getting to be able to be a part of helping patients lead longer, healthier lives, Leila finds immense joy in nurturing their well-being. Grateful being involved in the process, Leila compares this gratifying feeling to watering a plant and watching it bloom overtime with special care.

In her spare time, you can find Leila trying new recipes, reading fantasy books, and participating in game nights with her family!
