Laurie Strasburger

Colorado native Laurie Strasburger relocated from her small mountain town in order to bring more ethnic, socioeconomic, and cultural diversity into her life and career. She chose to pursue primary care and urgent care in order to work with a diverse population and treat a multitude of medical issues. Laurie’s style is straightforward and honest, and she cooperates with patients in an effort to maintain long-term health, preferably through healthy lifestyle modifications rather than medications. “I believe that being a good listener in their own care has the greatest impact,” she says. Laurie is particularly interested in adolescent medicine, women's health, and preventive medicine. She loves mountain biking, trail running, yoga, telemark skiing, traveling, laughing, and smiling. Laurie has been practicing medicine for over 27 years, providing care to patients in rural areas of Colorado, Alaska, and California, and is a member of the Direct Primary Care model at Rocky Mountain Family Practice of Leadville.
