A Legacy of Trust
and Results

The Laser Clinic was founded by Beverly and her late husband "Doc" – a nurse and physician team who pioneered laser aesthetic treatments in mid-Missouri in the 1990s. When Beverly was ready to retire, she passed the clinic to Sara Crowder MD, who had experienced incredible results as Beverly's patient and was thrilled to continue the legacy.

Since Dr. Crowder took over in 2017, our focus remains the same: delivering exceptional results and client satisfaction as a locally owned, physician-directed medical spa.

What Drives Everything We Do

Meet Dr. Crowder

Sara Crowder, MD - Physician & Owner

Dr. Crowder has been the proud owner of The Laser Clinic since 2017, bringing her extensive medical expertise and passion for aesthetic treatments to everyone in our community. As a double board-certified physician specializing in Gynecologic Oncology and Gynecology, she also maintains a full-time private practice with a focus on robotic surgery.

  • Dr. Crowder's path to owning The Laser Clinic began as a patient herself. After experiencing incredible results from laser hair removal treatments with Beverly, she became fascinated with the potential of aesthetic medicine to boost confidence and promote healthy skin. When the opportunity arose to take over the clinic, it felt like a natural fit.

  • Dr. Crowder is passionate about aesthetic treatments that promote healthy, natural-looking skin for all clients. She believes in helping people of every background achieve subtle enhancements that delay the effects of aging while maintaining their authentic appearance. Her approach is rooted in medical expertise combined with a genuine desire to help everyone build confidence and feel comfortable in their own skin.

    When she's not caring for patients, Dr. Crowder enjoys movies, reading, researching new aesthetic technologies, staying active, and traveling.
