Dr. Lauren grew up in Fairlawn, Ohio, and attended Walsh Jesuit High School. She continued her Jesuit education at John Carroll University in Cleveland, where she majored in Biology, minored in Entrepreneurship, and cheered on the sidelines as a member of the cheerleading team. It was there that she met her husband, a football player for the university.
After graduating, Dr. Lauren earned her Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from The Ohio State University College of Dentistry on a Naval Scholarship, graduating magnum cum laude in 2020. She then served on active duty in the United States Navy, where she provided dental care to the men and women of the Marine Corps stationed at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, for four years.
Dr. Lauren’s favorite part of dentistry is helping patients feel comfortable in the office and confident in their smiles when they leave. While she has a special passion for aesthetic dentistry, she emphasizes the importance of oral health as a foundation for overall health and well-being. Inspired by her mother, who worked as a dental hygienist, Dr. Lauren was introduced to dentistry at an early age. The blend of art and science drew her into the field, and she continues to find joy in making a positive impact on her patients’ lives.
In 2024, Dr. Lauren and her husband moved back to the Cleveland area to be closer to family. They welcomed a baby in September 2024 and are thrilled to be home. She is excited to serve the hardworking Middleburg Heights community with a compassionate, down-to-earth approach to dental care. Outside the office, Dr. Lauren enjoys practicing yoga, hiking the Metroparks with her dogs, and reading. She also loves hosting game nights with family and friends. As a proud Ohio State alumna, she is always cheering on the Buckeyes!
