Dr. Lauren was born and raised in Orland Park, IL. She received undergraduate and graduate degrees in Accountancy from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. After working as a CPA for a couple of years, she decided to change careers and pursue dentistry. Her desire to become an orthodontist arose through the powerful impact of her own orthodontic treatment and her desire to create the same experience for others.

 
Dr. Lauren is truly honored to be a part of a profession that changes lives through smiles. She loves that orthodontics helps develop the self-confidence a person needs to achieve one’s dreams and reach his or her full potential.

 
When away from the office, you will find Dr. Lauren enjoying quality time with her husband, Jim, and their three children- Hallie, Chloe, and Nathan. Her favorite hobbies include running, traveling, and trying new restaurants.
