Laura Hackett, MD delivers board-certified family medicine at Sharp Rees-Stealy in La Mesa's Grossmont area, building on an Ohio State University College of Medicine education and practice experience since 2001. Chronic disease management spans diabetes, hypertension, and thyroid dysfunction within Sharp Rees-Stealy's integrated electronic health record, escalating complex endocrine cases to Neelima V. Chu, MD for subspecialty adjustment of insulin regimens and levothyroxine titration. Bilingual consultations in English and Spanish serve the diverse patient base across La Mesa, Mount Helix, Santee, and surrounding East County communities. Musculoskeletal evaluations for chronic pain and shingles-related postherpetic neuralgia produce rehabilitation referrals, with complex mobility cases progressing to Select Physical Therapy - La Mesa for graded exercise protocols. The fourth-floor practice at 5525 Grossmont Center Drive operates within the same campus as Sharp Grossmont Hospital, linking primary-care encounters to laboratory, imaging, and pharmacy services under one referral network. Highest-complexity cases involve multi-drug chronic pain protocols, in-office cryotherapy for dermatological lesions, and coordinated menopause hormone-replacement evaluations requiring serial metabolic panels and bone-density correlation.
