Lauren was great! She took the time to get to know the kids, informed us of a concussion/sports program we hadn't heard of before.

Absolutely great with my daughter. Got her to settle down and smile while checking her (broken) arm.

Lauren is the best! We saw her during our first after hours clinic visit and it was a smooth, reassuring, and collaborative experience. Everyone - from check in/out to vitals, lab sweeps/swabs, and our visit with Lauren - was not rushed, but efficient, friendly, and helpful. My daughter's been a patient for nearly 4 years and it was probably our most positive experience at Pediatric Associates yet.

Moved to this practice as our previous pediatrician was not responsive and refused to prescribe anything until 3-4 weeks of my child coughing non stop night and day and being miserable. Lauren took me seriously when I explained the cough was more than just a cold, and treated accordingly. Thank you!
