Dr. Laurie Metzger believes watching young patients grow and thrive is the best part of being a pediatrician. She enjoys working with families to promote healthy habits and prevent illness and injury. As a provider, she strives to include parents and kids in decision-making.

Dr. Metzger dreamed of becoming a doctor and caring for children from an early age. She enjoys all aspects of pediatrics and is adept at caring for babies and kids at every stage of development.

Dr. Metzger earned a bachelor of science in zoology and a doctor of medicine at the University of Washington in Seattle. She completed an internship and residency in pediatrics at the University of California Medical Center in Sacramento, California.

Away from medicine, Dr. Metzger loves exploring local hikes, going beach combing, and digging for clams with her family. She also appreciates an evening walk with her dog and quiet time spent learning how to paint with acrylics.
