AnswersMD Strengthens Leadership with Laura Gore

On March 2, 2026, AnswersMD proudly announced the addition of Laura Gore, BSN, RN as their new Nurse Manager. As a premier concierge medicine provider known for delivering personalized and proactive healthcare through a membership model, AnswersMD is set to elevate its patient care standards with Gore at the helm of nursing operations.

Located in Tampa, St. Petersburg, and Boca Raton, Florida, AnswersMD specializes in providing comprehensive primary care services that include 24/7 physician access, unlimited visits, and advanced diagnostics. With a focus on personal interaction and minimal reliance on traditional insurance processes, the practice seeks to create a unique and highly efficient healthcare experience.

Laura brings to the role over 15 years of considerable nursing leadership experience, demonstrating a strong commitment to patient-centered care and operational excellence. Before joining AnswersMD, she served as Nurse Administrator at the Orthopaedic Medical Group of Tampa Bay Surgery Center, where she managed the operations of a busy ambulatory surgery center. This center featured four operating rooms and a 15-bed Pre-op/PACU unit, helping ensure quality patient outcomes through effective fiscal management and process improvements.

Her experience extends to overseeing high-volume emergency departments at AdventHealth Tampa, where she facilitated budgets that supported large teams and initiated several innovative programs. These included a Volunteer Ambassador initiative aimed at enhancing staff engagement and building community connections within the hospital setting. Gore's strategic approach to nursing has also encompassed various roles in perioperative nursing, assisted living facility management, and home health case management.

Apart from her extensive clinical background, Laura holds multiple certifications, including Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) and Trauma Nurse Core Course (TNCC). She also earned a Six Sigma Green Belt designation, demonstrating her commitment to quality and efficiency in healthcare. Furthermore, she is an active member of the Association of Perioperative Registered Nurses (AORN).

In her new role, Laura aims to lead nursing operations with a focus on enhancing patient flow and experience, while fostering professional development and staff engagement. This aligns seamlessly with AnswersMD's mission to provide compassionate, quality concierge care. As the practice expands its reach across Florida, Laura’s leadership is expected to play a pivotal role in optimizing healthcare delivery and improving health outcomes for families and individuals throughout the region.

Her proven leadership in diverse healthcare settings, commitment to collaborative practice, and exceptional record in operational success make her the perfect fit as we enhance our personalized care model for Florida's families and professionals."
