Our Story

A practice built on experience and personal care

For decades, North Idaho has trusted Kelly Fuhrman with their health. Today, Lakeside Medicine channels that experience into hormone optimization and aesthetics.

The Story

From the ICU to hormone optimization

Kelly Fuhrman began her career in 1985 at Sacred Heart, Deaconess, and Holy Family hospitals in Spokane. Over 38 years she practiced in adult ICU, the neonatal intensive care unit, surgery, organ transplant, and spent 22 years in emergency medicine.

She earned her Master of Science in Nursing from Washington State University in 2010 and is board-certified through the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners, licensed in Idaho and Washington with full prescriptive authority.

Today, as owner and medical director of Lakeside Medicine, Kelly focuses on what she's most passionate about: helping adults restore balance, energy, and confidence through bioidentical hormone replacement and aesthetic care.
