Laurelton Physicians, Dentists, Pharmacists, Podiatrists and Physiatrists:
All physicians are presumed to be MDs. Frequently there was no designation. There are more names for doctors in the years that we have State Reports and in the years there were investigations. In the early years, doctors from local communities got mentioned in the “social columns” of small local newspapers. For some doctors, we do not have the time they were at Laurelton. Medicine was a very respected profession and was frequently mentioned in an obituary. For others with lessor positions, obituaries simply said that they were employed at Laurelton.
