She earned her medical degree from the Medical College of Wisconsin and completed her residency in Family Medicine at St. Luke’s Hospital in Milwaukee, followed by a Women’s Health fellowship at the Aurora Women’s Pavilion in West Allis, WI. Since 2006 she has practiced in the Holland, MI community, and in July 2020 she founded Laurie Birkholz, MD & Associates, a Ms.Medicine‑affiliated practice that delivers Direct Primary Care and concierge primary care with a focus on personalized, holistic, lifestyle‑based medicine.

Dr. Birkholz’s DPC philosophy emphasizes low‑volume panels, extended visits, and direct patient‑provider relationships that eliminate insurance middlemen.
