About the Physician

Dr. Brett Laurence joined PMA in 2012 after completing his Residency, Chief Residency, and a Fellowship in Infectious Diseases at Temple University Hospital in Philadelphia, PA. After picking up and moving to California, Dr. Laurence continues to explore the surrounding areas of Lake Tahoe, San Francisco, and Napa Valley and enjoys the outdoor lifestyle and California cuisine (including wine!) though he still remains a Philadelphia sports fan. When not working, Dr. Laurence enjoys spending time with his family, traveling, playing basketball, and hunting for interesting antiques.
