Gigi Pereira

Gigi Pereira explains, “I am very curious and interested in learning about people, what motivates them, what challenges them, and I want to help in any way I can.” This curiosity, as well as having a parent with a chronic condition, led her to pursue a career in acupuncture. “I love to hear when people feel better in body, mind, and spirit. It’s important for me that I consider a person as a whole,” she explains. She “feels blessed” to play a role in improving people’s lives. “My patients come to me with unique, individual stories that need to be heard,” she says. In her free time, she loves spending time with her kids and playing with her dog. She also likes hiking and volunteering as a Girl Scout troop leader.

Dr. Laura Jarrell’s interest in becoming a physician started while studying biology in college. “I had the opportunity to shadow a family medicine physician and felt inspired by the positive impact a physician can have on their patients,” she explains.
