About Lauren

A provider who actually listens.

Lauren Woods is a double board-certified Women's Health Nurse Practitioner with 15 years of experience. She earned her Master of Science in Nursing from Boston College and her midwifery degree from Frontier Nursing University.

As a Women's Health Nurse Practitioner, Lauren has specialized expertise in hormones, PCOS, fertility, hereditary genetic testing, and overall wellness. She has extensive experience with hormone replacement therapy (HRT), perimenopause and menopause support, and weight management solutions.

Lauren's approach is rooted in the belief that every patient deserves a provider who takes the time to truly understand their unique health history, goals, and concerns — not just their labs.
