Lauren is a Washington-licensed, ABC-certified orthotist for Hanger Clinic in Tahoma, Washington. Lauren has more than fifteen years of experience in general orthotic care and pediatric orthotics, including cranial remolding orthoses. Lauren likes the field of orthotics because she’s able to make a positive difference in the lives of her patients, focusing on taking her clinical expertise and pairing it with creativity to find a solution that works.

Lauren enjoys working with patients of all ages, and especially enjoys working with cranial remolding patients and their families. It’s a unique treatment process in that you can watch the changes take place fairly quickly, and infant patients have the best smiles.

Lauren often collaborates with the Mary Bridge Pediatric Orthopedics Department.  

Outside of work, Lauren is usually spending time with her daughter, often going on adventures with her, cooking, and camping. She also loves knitting socks and hats.
