Greetings, my name is Dr. Jeremy La Motte. I was born and raised in South Orange County.

I attended UCLA for my undergraduate training with a major in Physiological Sciences. After I graduated, I was very fortunate to spend a year doing research at the West Los Angeles VA Medical Center.

For medical school I attended the Loyola University Stritch School of Medicine in Chicago, IL. This is also where I also met my lovely wife. We now have three energetic boys who keep us very busy.

After medical school I did my post-graduate training at the In His Image Family Medicine Residency Program in Tulsa, OK. I am currently board certified in Family Medicine. After residency I gained invaluable experience working in the Emergency Department, teaching at the Family Medicine Residency Program, and volunteering on a mobile medical van for underserved areas in Tulsa.

During residency I had several opportunities to do medical relief work after the major earthquake in Pakistan and the tsunami in Indonesia. This is where I developed a passion for International Medicine. In 2010, our family moved to Nepal where we lived and I worked at a mission hospital for 3 and a half years.

During my training I learned the importance of preventative medicine and whole person care. My goal is to keep patients healthy and not wait until they get sick to manage their illness with medications. Since returning from Nepal I have been trained in Functional Medicine, which looks at the interactions among genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors that can influence long-term health and chronic disease. It involves finding the root cause of illness instead of just treating the symptoms.

I am currently the medical director for the Sorrento Valley Pain Relief Center in San Diego, the My 90 Health weight loss program, and the StarWest Medical Group in Mission Viejo. Thank you for trusting us with your care. I am honored to partner with you on your path to wellness.
