Dr. Laurie Katzman
Physician Emeritus
Internist in Chestnut Hill, MA
Dr. Laurie Katzman retired in June 2022. She spent over 20 years as a primary care doctor in major academic teaching hospitals in Boston prior to joining PersonalMDs in 2008. She was an Assistant Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School and is Board Certified in Internal Medicine.
Dr. Katzman emerged as a leader in both clinical medicine and in other organizations where she worked. She was a teacher and mentor to many medical students, residents, and colleagues. However, her most gratifying role was always being a primary care doctor, responsible for improving the well-being and health of her patients.
Dr. Katzman was previously active in a variety of community activities, including serving as an officer on the Board of Directors of the New England Lupus Foundation. She was honored by the Boston Red Sox organization in 2006 for her volunteer work and threw out the ceremonial first pitch at one of their games.
