She finds particular fulfillment in the close relationships she builds with her patients, valuing the opportunity to listen, treat, problem-solve, and educate, all in service of helping them live fuller lives.
Outside the clinic, Lauren embodies the active and balanced lifestyle she advocates for her patients. She is passionate about fitness, nutrition, and running, and finds joy in traveling, exploring farmers markets, and m soaking up sunshine with her husband and two small children. A coffee enthusiast, she enjoys perfecting her brewing techniques and unwinding with her favorite podcasts.
