Why Dr. Laurie Does What She Does

A mother’s conviction became a mission

Dr. Laurie didn’t arrive at regenerative medicine by accident. She was pushed there by something far more powerful than a career decision — her sons.

Her oldest son served as an infantry Marine in the United States Marine Corps, completing two tours of duty. The demands of that service — physically brutal and relentless — took a significant toll on his body. When he returned, Dr. Laurie watched the VA work through his injuries. What she saw troubled her deeply: a system too quick to recommend surgery, and providers too willing to reach for narcotics and steroid injections as the first and only answer to pain.

Her younger son was a competitive mixed martial artist — and with that came a different set of physical challenges, but the same frustrating pattern when he sought care. Quick diagnoses. Fast referrals to surgery. Prescriptions to numb the pain rather than find its source.

“I had been watching these clinics for years — handing out narcotics like they were the only tool in the box, or rushing patients straight to surgery without ever asking why. That’s not healing. That’s not medicine the way I believe it should be practiced.”

Dr. Laurie and her partners founded In Good Health in 2006 with a different vision — a family practice built around something most clinics had stopped offering: time, attention, and a genuine commitment to understanding what was actually happening in a patient’s body. The goal was never just to manage symptoms. It was to restore real function and real wellness.

Today, Dr. Laurie takes that mission a step further by bringing care directly into her patients’ homes across Tennessee and Georgia. From Chattanooga and across both states, she delivers private in-home consultations, regenerative therapies, and follow-up care — so her patients never have to compromise on the quality of their care again.
