Lauren is a mother of two children. Her son is in the Army and her daughter is attending UCF. She is originally from Chicago, but moved to Naples, Florida in 2006.

She has been in the veterinary industry for 13 years and her passion continues to grow. She dove into the emergency side of medicine and loved it. She loved the adrenaline rush of trying to save everything that came through the door.

After being in the emergency hospital and not really getting to establish a relationship with the animals she helped, she decided to move to a day practice where she gets to know owners and their pets.

Her favorite part of the job is dentistry. She also enjoys educating owners on any type of medical treatment or prevention that they need for their animal.

Currently, Lauren has many dogs and cats that are all rescues. She also has horses, donkeys and chickens and many more farm animals.
