Hi, I'm Lauren McMullen
MSN, APRN, NP-C
I am a Board Certified Primary Care Nurse Practitioner with over 10 years of experience working in MA, NH and ME.
Before becoming a Nurse Practitioner, I worked as a Registered Nurse in Primary Care in Waltham, and in Mental Health and Addiction in Boston. As an RN, I discovered my love for connecting with patients as well as the incredible importance of the healthcare provider/patient relationship. Values of non-judgement, collaboration, empathy, humor, and compassion carry over to my role as a Nurse Practitioner and I’m proud of the patient relationships I’ve created as a Primary Care provider.
After many years working in corporate medicine, I became incredibly frustrated at the increasing focus on numbers and statistics and decreasing regard for the patient’s experience. I also became disheartened with the lack of support for providers and seeing how all of this was causing significant provider burnout.
When I’m not working, I love practicing hot yoga, going out to dinner and hanging out with my wonderful hubby and our energetic 6 year old!
