Laura Yeater, MD

  • About Me

    Dr. Yeater is from Ashland, Ohio. She received her undergraduate degree in biology from Youngstown State University. She then went on to Northeast Ohio Medical University, in Rootstown, Ohio, as a part of their 6 year combined BS/MD program. Her medical interests include rural medicine, palliative care and hospice, full spectrum family medicine with obstetrics, and community impact and outreach. Outside of medicine Laura loves to travel, try new foods and restaurants, spend time with her husband and family, and play board games. She chose the University of Utah because of an instant connection she felt during her interview day. Additionally, she loved the "Intern Fridays" and the opportunity to learn from excellent faculty, residents, and staff about full spectrum family medicine. Lastly, the natural beauty and opportunities in Salt Lake City were just icing on the cake.
