Philosophy of Care

I want to do what is best for my patients and provide the highest quality of care. I believe the best health care includes listening to patients' concerns with respect and developing a trusted relationship over time. I see myself as an educator, providing evidence-based knowledge and using shared decision making to help make the best decisions regarding treatment. My goal is to treat each patient as I would want my family to be treated, with dignity and respect. I am also an ally to our LGBTQ+ community and provide a safe space for all of my patients to discuss their unique health care needs.

I chose Laura Paulson, MD as my PCP with Evergreen based upon a positive experience I had in fall of 2023. Her skill level and attention to detail and professional approach to medical care were why I chose her as my PCP. She is excellent at her profession.

Provider was not listening to health concerns, did not invite any questions, and engaged in a way that was rude and dismissive.

I adore Laura Paulsen. I have recommended her many times and two of my friends who hate doctors started seeing her. They loved her too. She is extremely caring. I have full confidence in her.

I was very appreciative of her time and information. My previous PCP retired and this was our first visit. She supplied me with additional options of care and gave me a referral I'd requested as well as an ortho referral.

She seems like a very competent care provider, but this was a physical and there were a couple things we just were not able to get to because of the time.

Dr. Paulsen was very sensitive to my past trauma at being even partially undressed. She needed to examine a more private area of my body, but was patient with me and gave me the space and time I needed to feel comfortable allowing her to examine me, despite my high anxiety.
