Laura Periman
MD
Laura M. Periman, MD, Founder and Director of Dry Eye Services and Clinical Research at the Periman Eye Institute in Seattle Washington is a Cornea and Refractive Surgery Fellowship trained physician and surgeon with roots as a molecular biologist.
She finds immense joy in combining her scientific interests, clinical interests and creativity into starting up collaborative projects, advanced medical education projects as well as innovative, state of the art clinical care.
Her communication style is warm, friendly and full of common-sense analogies she learned as the granddaughter of hard-working Montana cattle ranchers. Her passion for understanding the immunopathophysiology and treatment of diseases has its roots in her experiences as a Molecular Biology Research and Development Associate at Immunex Corporation (now Amgen) prior to medical school.
She has a talent for applying basic science to clinical medicine, and teaching to a wide variety of audiences with a sense of discovery, forward thinking and a healthy dose of fun.
