A New Doctor in the House

We welcome Laura H. Fisher, M.D., who grew up on a farm in York County and always wanted to be a doctor. She chose allergy as her field but had considered veterinary medicine because of her love for animals.

She and her husband, who is also a physician, own a farm near Mount Joy, which they hope to eventually turn into a working farm. They’ve already begun with one lamb.

When asked why she chose allergy as her specialty, Dr. Fisher says, “I had done my rotations and it seemed to me that all of medicine comes down to immunology. Patients get better and correct management can make a real difference. There is also lots of room for taking part in women’s health issues.  We’re not always taken seriously when it comes to our health. I want to make a difference here too, for example in the area of asthma and pregnancy.”

Away from the office, her sports interests include hiking, skiing, horseback riding and gardening. But she also loves to spend time in her kitchen, cooking and baking.

Dr. Fisher’s academic and medical background include the following:

Native of York, Pennsylvania
A.B. - Molecular Biology , Princeton University
M.D.- Pennsylvania State University College of Medicine
Internship/Residency – Internal Medicine, Pennsylvania State University,
     Hershey Medical Center
Post Doctoral Fellowship – Allergy, Asthma and Immunology, Pennsylvania
