Laura Nelson, M.D.

Dr. Laura Nelson is a dual board-certified physician in Internal Medicine and Pediatrics with extensive training from Indiana University School of Medicine. She has spent over a decade providing comprehensive primary care to diverse patient populations across all ages, with a particular passion for multi-generational family medicine. 

Throughout her career, Dr. Nelson has prioritized building strong patient-physician relationships and taking a thoughtful, evidence-based approach to care. She is most energized by serving as an active listener and partner with patients, uncovering root causes of health concerns and helping prioritize disease prevention, improve healthy lifestyle choices, and effectively manage chronic conditions. Her clinical interests include preventive care, lifestyle counseling, and patient-centered management that empowers patients to take an active role in their own health. 

Dr. Nelson believes that healthcare is most effective when patients feel truly heard and understood. She is committed to shared decision-making and works collaboratively with patients to develop practical care plans that align with their individual goals and values. She is excited to join Priority Physicians because the practice model allows her to focus on what inspired her to medicine in the first place: meaningful, relationship-centered care with the time and resources necessary to truly serve her patients. 

Outside of medicine, Dr. Nelson enjoys spending quality time with her husband, son, and daughter and supporting them in their areas of interest. She also enjoys exploring the great outdoors and honing her skills in various arts and crafts, both of which she finds to be a rewarding balance to her clinical work.
