Laura Albergo is a physician associate who received her graduate degree at Arcadia University’s Christiana, DE campus. As a southern California native, she moved back to the west coast and worked as a PA for 5 years at a walk-in family practice. She provided both family medicine and urgent care services.

Her desire to understand chronic illness on a deeper level prompted her to study functional medicine through the American Academy of Functional Health. She is a firm believer in the power of lifestyle to prevent and treat disease. She is enthusiastic about sharing her knowledge and tailoring care to individual needs.
