Dr. Lauren Schnidman is passionate about helping patients engage in the activities they love without limitations.  She treats a variety of different patient populations, including recreational athletes and individuals focused on weight loss.

Lauren’s expertise is unique and personal, having struggled with weight management and sports injuries throughout her life and career.

She believes in a holistic approach to care that includes:
1. Addressing a patient as a whole person rather than by symptoms and pain alone
