Meet Laura Hamilton, MD


I believe the most important tool I can give patients is teaching them to live well. My medical training was exceptional; I learned how to manage disease states and thoughtfully use diagnostic tools to properly identify patient’s illnesses and manage disease with medical treatments. The most important tool is prevention of those chronic and acute illnesses along with education on how to maintain that optimal well state. I have always believed that my role in my patient’s lives is to educate them, sift through the wealth of medical knowledge, distill the most pertinent information and collaborate with them to create a customized healthcare plan.

By creating a small practice with patients who believe in preventive care and are active participants in their path to wellness is where I can make the biggest impact. I am excited and honored to be a part of this collaboration. I will continue to educate myself and share my knowledge with each of my patients. Together we can achieve that goal of optimal wellness and health in all of our lives.

I am a long time resident of the North Country. I enjoy the snow and the outdoors and I am committed to this area. I love what I do both personally and professionally and find fascination in continuing to expand my knowledge on both realms. Being a physician is not what I do, it’s who I am. I learned long ago I cannot separate the two. I am so honored to be a part of my patient’s lives and am continually amazed by their accomplishments abilities. I respect the responsibility you all entrust in me and will continue my commitment to give you the finest care that I can.

Frequently Asked Questions

Doctors who operate in the MDVIP models typically see far fewer patients than traditional primary care doctors. That gives them more time to develop deeper doctor-patient relationships that can lead to better outcomes. They can also offer conveniences that most primary care doctors can’t, including same- and next-day appointments. They’re available after hours for urgent matters. And they have time to focus on prevention. That focus begins with the MDVIP Wellness Program, which patients pay for with their annual membership fee.

Most MDVIP-affiliated primary care practices accept insurance (your physician can tell you whether they accept your specific insurance plan). Your annual fee pays for preventive care medical services that insurance usually doesn’t cover (e.g., advanced diagnostic testing and screenings). Your MDVIP-affiliated physician will continue to bill your insurance and charge copays, co-insurances and deductibles as he or she currently does for other medical services like sick visits.

MDVIP makes wellness and prevention easier by providing your physician with innovative tools and technology. MDVIP supports your physician’s practice and seeks to eliminate barriers to a positive healthcare experience. Your doctor will determine whether and how to incorporate these tools at his/her discretion.

Laura is wonderful. She gets right to the point. She isn’t going to prescribe a miracle cure, she will tell you to take the route that requires work and dedication. Then she will help you get there. She is dedicated, funny, and really cares about her patients.

It is rare to find someone in the medical profession who actually listens to patients. My personal experience is that I have found Dr. Hamilton to be one of those rare professionals. She takes my concerns, and those of my husband, seriously. We have found her to be thorough, and thus far she seems to have taken all the appropriate steps to find answers and proper treatments for our health issues.

The practice of Dr. Laura Hamilton is one that I have not ever experienced before. I feel as if I am her only patient. The commitment, care, and time she provides is above and beyond. Her knowledge and ability to connect my husband and myself with the specialists we have needed is something we are so grateful for. Being able to reach her 24/7 gives us so much peace of mind. We respect her as our Primary care doctor, and value her as our friend!

No wonder physicians asst. and nurses leave. Dr. Hamilton is an arrogant miserable ass. Talks down to everyone, after knee replacement, shoulder reconstruction, severe arthritis, etc. was looking for a regimen to help with joint pain, whether it be therapy, vitamins, etc. her response? What do you want...a miracle pill? No compassion for patients at all. That, and her halitosis that will make you gag. Do not waste your time with this so called professional.

Dr. Hamilton takes the time to listen at each appointment. I never feel like I’m a number moving through a machine. She is thorough and asks questions about your lifestyle, with a focus on well care, instead of sick care!

Her new EmSculpt machines are magic, especially the one for the pelvic floor. I felt a difference in just one appointment.

If you are looking for attentive Wellness support, instead of quick sick care, Dr. Hamilton is your person!

Dr. Laura Hamilton was a lifeline when we really needed her! My husband had a Pituitary Brain Tumor that bled and was causing excruciating pain and pressure. He was at very high risk for another bleed so it was recommended that he have brain surgery to have the tumor removed. Quickly he was set up with an neurologist, endocrinologist, ophthalmologist and ENT to develop a baseline of health and prepare for surgery. Two surgeries were cancelled because of his poor health condition. The medication side effects were contributing to his poor health, and requiring more medications. We felt we were on a downward spiral and the end wasn't looking good! We decided we needed to hire a new Primary Care Doctor. My husband was concerned at first about the price. He said "It's like a Vehicle Payment!" and I responded "Your body is the most important vehicle you could ever own, no trade ins!" So we gave doctor Hamilton a call. When she tested his hormones she was shocked to discover his levels so dangerously low! She changed some of his medications and worked toward helping us eliminate ones that were harmful to his health. She was so thorough and spent so much time with each appointment. She answered all our questions giving valuable dietary advice and assisting us in eliminating as many medications as possible. My husband was very excited to please her, and each visit was looking forward to sharing his improvements.

After 6 months under Dr. Hamilton's care, my husband actually shrunk his tumor and was no longer recommended to have surgery. He is now back to work at a full-time job, and we are very grateful for her guidance and direction during such a challenging and terrifying time in our lives. She was a great coordinator for his care, talking to his specialists for us, and was a terrific partner in bringing my husband back from a very scary predicament. Thank you, Dr. Laura Hamilton! We appreciate you!

Updating my review-

if I could give this woman negative stars I would. Once again, her negligence could have her killed my mother. She left a head trauma untreated that is now causing my mother to have focal seizures due to a medication she prescribed and almost put her into a diabetic coma. AVOID THIS DOCTOR IF YOU WANT TO LIVE!

She almost killed my mother! She let her go for years with vascular problems unfound and then mistreated her with an antibiotic which she didn’t even need that caused her to go into kidney failure! Not to mention my mom has to pay this old coot $6K a year to stay a patient there. Had it not been for the hospital she ended up getting admitted to, she would have died! AVOID THIS DOCTOR LIKE THE PLAGUE!

Missed my Mother's cancer and treated her like a hypochondriac while she suffered in pain for months. Went in to get DNR order for her & I was treated cold and made to wait while my mother sat in car. Upon my Mothers death did not even get a card though she had been a patient for years, but was sent a bill for the signature they provided on the DNR order which they later did forgive. Very sad.

Dr. Hamilton has been my doctor since i came back to this area in 2005, she was also my mothers doctor until she passed,
Doctor Hamilton is thorough, tells you just what is wrong and what we need to do to correct the problem weather its what you want to hear or not. She is very knowledgeable, she will not prescribe meds unless they are needed, I came down with diabetes and asked her what was needed from me to rid this and did exactly what she said, lost 40 pounds, changed my diet and feel great. Well rounded I would not choose another doctor for any reason

Dr. Hamilton is very caring, compassionate and thorough as is her staff! She has saved my life by detecting my colon and kidney cancers early through testing. When she wasn’t happy with one result she pushed further ultimately finding the second cancer. SHE LITERALLY SAVED MY LIFE! She is my wife’s dr also and has made a tremendous impact on her health as well. Dr Hamilton and her staff go above and beyond, even bring medications to our home and seeing us there when needed! We highly recommend all of her services!

In an age where getting a Doctor's appointment can be delayed & difficult, Dr. Hamilton and her staff defy the odds. Her MDVIP practice put the patient first in a caring and professional setting. She is thorough in her examinations and findings, and when warranted, encourages additional testing that can make a huge difference in a patient's health and life span. In addition, she advocates for patients to prioritize testing and procedures that need to be timely. I highly recommend Dr. Laura Hamilton and her MDVIP Practice.

Dr. Hamilton did four sessions of the em sculpt on my thighs right before my knee replacement. I had lost a lot of strength in that leg and the em sculpt really brought it back quickly! I believe that is why I’m having such an easier time recovering from this knee replacement than I did with the other one! Thanks so much to Dr. Hamilton and her wonderful staff!!!

I cared for my Mother several years before her death. There were two occasions when Dr. Hamilton was exceptionally kind and respectful of her.
