Laura Alverson, D.V.M.

Dr. Laura Alverson grew up in Pell City, AL, and earned her Bachelor of Science from Birmingham-Southern College before going on to receive her Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine from Tuskegee University in 2001. She’s been practicing emergency medicine ever since—24 years of long nights, fast decisions, and a whole lot of heart.

Laura currently lives in Hoover, AL with her high school sweetheart (now husband), three daughters, two stepsons, four cats, three dogs, one rabbit, and zero quiet moments. When she’s not saving lives at Veterinary Specialists of Birmingham, you might find her reading, planning her next Disney trip (she’s a proud Disney Vacation Club member), or lacing up for her next RunDisney event—because why not mix cardio with castles?

As an emergency vet, Laura has witnessed countless families say rushed goodbyes during crisis moments. That experience deepened her passion for providing compassionate, in-home end-of-life care. She believes those final moments deserve time, comfort, and dignity—and maybe a grumpy chihuahua curled up nearby.
