Laura Verigan, M.D.

Dr. Verigan wanted to be a pediatrician from a very young age. She was inspired by her pediatricians, who she loved. After graduating from college, she went on to medical school in her home state of Tennessee. She is grateful that she had opportunities to train in some excellent children’s hospitals during her years in medical school.

Dr. Verigan completed her residency training at Children’s Hospital of Orange County in Orange, California. After completing her residency, she and her husband moved to Smyrna and she started her career as a pediatrician. After a few years, she also began working at the local pediatric emergency departments. Dr. Verigan and her family moved to the East Cobb area 10 years ago, and she joined the practice in 2021. She has greatly enjoyed getting to know all of her colleagues as well as the patients and families in the practice!

Dr. Verigan and her husband Chet have twin teenage children. They play baseball on a team that Chet coaches, while Dr. Verigan cheers from the bleachers and sometimes acts as unofficial team doctor. They love to travel to new places as a family and experience different cultures. Favorite locations so far include Ireland, Barcelona, Costa Rica, and France.
