Georgetown Pediatrics welcomes Dr. Laura A. Forster, MD, to our practice beginning July 8.

Dr. Forster comes to us from the Wake Forest Baptist Community Physicians Group in Mocksville, NC.  This is a Kentucky “homecoming” of sorts for her, since she completed medical school and residency, along with a year as chief resident, at the University of Louisville before moving to North Carolina in 2011.  Her husband has just completed a fellowship in Infectious Diseases, and they are excited to be returning to Kentucky.

A board certified pediatrician, Dr. Forster is also a member of the American Academy of Pediatrics.  She’s the recipient of several awards, including the Compassionate Pediatrician Award in 2010.

Exemplifying the compassionate aspects of her character, Dr. Forster says, “I have loved getting to know my patients and their families.  While I also enjoyed the teaching/academic environment during my experience as a chief resident and hospitalist, I have found that nothing can replace the relationship between a general pediatrician and the families he or she takes care of.”

We know that Dr. Forster will be a great addition to our family of pediatricians and staff, and a compassionate physician for our patients and their families.

We are already scheduling checkups with Dr. Forster, beginning July 8.  Call our office at 502-863-6426 to make an appointment.
