Lauren LaFortune | Professional History
During my training as a medical student, I found neurology to be fascinating and I was struck by how challenging neurological disorders could be for individuals and their families. I decided to devote myself to diagnosing, treating and helping people with neurological disorders. I chose to become a pediatric neurologist, specifically, to work with children. Nothing compares to their genuine honesty, purity and resiliency. I cherish the connection I form with them and their families. Listening to the children and their parents is the most important diagnostic tool I use in patient care. I not only dive into details regarding the family’s primary concerns, I look beyond that to gain a comprehensive picture of the child in order to address any other potential contributing factors.
