About Dr. Laura Scott

I received my BA in Psychology from Arizona State University in 1993 and my Doctorate in Veterinary Medicine from Colorado State University in 2002.

I have devoted over twenty years to the practice of medicine and surgery, and many of those years have been spent as a hospital owner. At the end of 2019, I sold my general veterinary medicine practice and now focus my care on physical and psycho/emotional comfort, healing, and patient advocacy.

In 2010, I completed the comprehensive 140-hour Veterinary Medical Acupuncture Certification through Colorado State University, now offered through CuraCore.

In 2020, I completed the Roll Model Practitioner certification with TuneUp Fitness in fascial manipulation, and in 2021, I completed the 40-hour CuraCore intensive course in Veterinary Photomedicine. I am currently studying 130 hours of CuraCore Veterinary Botanical Medicine courses.

I live in the Black Forest and hike these trails with my Big Dog, Bodhi, and Big Girl Bonnie. I have a 500-hour Vinyasa teacher training certification with Jason Crandell, and I love reading, caring for my kitties, forever scooping poop for my horses, and climbing at City Rock.
