About Dr. LaGrelius

Dr. LaGrelius founded Skypark Preferred Family Care and serves as its medical director. His medical school was the University of Washington School of Medicine (1969). He did his internship and residency at the University of Southern California Medical Center.

He has been board certified in family medicine since 1977 and in geriatric medicine since 1990. His career began at a large medical group. He then spent about 20 years as a solo practitioner and manager of several independent medical groups.
