Lara M. Kirkpatrick, MD

I love caring for entire families. From babies to elders, my comprehensive care envelops all ages to improve their quality of life at every stage. That work is both diverse and rewarding.

In family medicine, my patients are my community. It presents a unique opportunity to go beyond health concerns and make deeper connections. I look at the whole person both as an individual and in the context of their family unit and community.

My office is judgment-free. I want my patients to feel comfortable talking openly with me so we can best reach their wellness goals. As a lifelong learner, I want to hear about my patients’ lives. With trust, honest two-way communication and evidence-based education, I empower patients to participate in their own health care.
