Paul Algra, DO

Dr. Paul Algra was born and raised in Michigan, a state he loves so much that he chose to pursue his medical degree at Michigan State University. After completing his internship in Family Medicine at Naval Hospital Camp Pendleton, Dr. Algra served as an Undersea Medical Officer at the Naval Experimental Dive Unit in Panama City, Florida. Specializing in hyperbaric and saturation diving medicine for the US Navy, he had the unique opportunity to live in Key Largo and conduct research in an underwater habitat known as Aquarius Reef Base.

Dr. Algra returned to Naval Hospital Camp Pendleton to complete his Family Medicine residency. He was then relocated to Naval Branch Health Clinic Port Hueneme, where he served as Senior Medical Officer. After receiving an honorable discharge from the Navy, Dr. Algra joined Primary Medical Group, where he has become one of our most beloved doctors.

Board certified in Family Medicine, Dr. Algra is passionate about getting to know his patients and partnering with them in preventive care to achieve overall health.

A unique aspect of Dr. Algra’s perspective as a family physician comes from his personal experience with his daughter, who has a rare genetic disorder called Cri du Chat (5P-). Because of his family’s experiences with special needs, Dr. Algra is particularly sensitive to the needs of patients with developmental delays, shunt placement, feeding tubes, dysphagia, failure to thrive, severe constipation, and sensory issues. He is happy to serve as the primary care physician for individuals with special needs.

Dr. Algra resides in Newbury Park, California, with his wife and four children. He enjoys participating in Kindermusik and swim lessons with his children, as well as exploring new places and hiking with his family.
