Dr. Laura Purdy

When You Need A Doctor Who Can Hold Both The Data And The Soul

Most medical speakers arrive with bullet points.
Dr. Laura Purdy, MD, MBA walks in carrying whole worlds:

  • 14+ years as an Army physician
  • Licensed in all 50 states + D.C.
  • Builder and advisor to real-world telehealth companies
  • Architect of the Exilara constellation of brands
  • Host of I Am Wiser, her legacy project for her children and the next generation

She’s been called “America’s Favorite Doctor” and “the voice of the digital healthcare revolution” but beneath the headlines she is one thing:

A clinician who has seen what this system does to human beings—and refuses to leave it that way.

On stage, she doesn’t sell a persona. She holds open a doorway and invites the room to tell the truth, together.

Why People Bring
Dr. Purdy Into The Room

Organizers call Dr. Purdy when they need someone who can:

Speak medicine, regulation, operations, ethics, and innovation in the same breath.

Hold innovation and safety in tension, without worshipping either.

Make clinicians, executives, founders, and patients feel seen - not scolded.

Tell hard stories without cynicism, and hopeful stories without denial.

Turn this moment into “here’s what we could build instead”.

Her presence is:

  • Grounded

    She has built and survived the systems she describes

  • Candid

    She names what everyone else is dancing around

  • Protective

    Of patients, clinicians, and the kids watching us build this world

  • Sparkling, not gimmicky

    You get warmth, humor, and realness, not shock value
