About Laura J Elders
About the Provider
I’ve always wanted to care for others, and I’ve had the opportunity to practice in many different settings. One clinical area I’m passionate about is mental health because I believe it’s just as important as physical health.
My approach to care is holistic and team-based. You know your body best, and I am here to truly listen to your concerns and develop a plan that meets your needs and reaches your goals. I’m open to any questions you may have. Many have asked, “Are you a doctor?” My response is, as a nurse practitioner, I play a unique role on the care team to diagnose and treat illnesses, order and interpret tests, prescribe medications, and manage overall patient care.
It’s a privilege to walk alongside patients on their best and worst days and connect with them in such a unique way. I find joy in knowing that the care I give and the knowledge I use can make someone else’s day better.
