Dr. Laurel A. Walton came to Woodlawn in June 2024.

“The medical Staff and personnel are so friendly and welcoming me as part of their family. The staff are always willing to help in any way they can,” Dr. Walton stated.

She has an extensive educational background that includes an undergraduate degree in biology and chemistry from Nebraska Wesleyan University and a certification in education for grades 7th through 12th. She went to the University of Nebraska in Omaha, Nebraska, to graduate with her Bachelor of Science in Allied Health and became a certified Physician Assistant. Next, she went on to the University of Osteopathic Medicine and Health Science (now called DMU) in Des Moines, Idaho.  She completed her internship at Warren General Hospital in Warren, Ohio. Her OB/GYN residency was at Texas Tech and Thomas General Hospital.

“I am passionate about my job as an obstetrician/gynecologist. I never get tired of delivering children and witnessing the miracle of life. Daily, I get to help women resolve issues around urine, abnormal bleeding, pelvic pain, deal with a miscarriage, and sexual trauma. As an obstetrician/gynecologist, I am involved in everything from genetic counseling to end-of-life care for women. The field is extremely diverse and stimulating. I have the honor of helping women throughout the different stages of their reproductive lives, and this is why I love being an obstetrician/gynecologist. I have an exciting day every day.” Dr. Walton stated.

When she is not helping women or delivering babies, she enjoys spending time with family, cooking, traveling, and collecting antiques. She lives in rural Indiana with her husband and six loveable rescued cats.
