Meet Lauren THE OFFICE MANAGER WHO MAKES EVERY VISIT SPECIAL When you visit our Brunswick location, you may meet our office manager, Lauren. She welcomes everyone into the office with a warm smile and does everything she can to support our team and patients! Lauren grew up in Brunswick but eventually relocated north to Strongsville. Her experience in the dental industry started over 20 years ago when she was only 18 years old. Over the years, she’s dipped her toes into many different positions within the dental field, as she’s answered phones at the front desk, put together treatment plans for patients, and much more. She truly operates as a jack of all trades in her current role! Lauren was drawn to Signature Smiles because of our ability to offer sedation dentistry and anxiety-free treatment options. She’s greatly enjoyed watching patients' opinions of the dentist change. Many people have anxiety or are fearful of the dentist or getting treatment, but Lauren has seen many patients establish an entirely new outlook on the industry after only one visit. She loves seeing their self-esteem and confidence improve after they start the journey toward a healthier and more beautiful smile.
Lauren has a 16-year-old son named Garrett, who is her whole world. He’s a junior at Holy Name High School and a pitcher on their baseball team. She’s close to her family and loves spending time with her mom, stepdad, sister, and nephews. Her son and nephews are extremely tight-knit and are more like siblings than cousins! Lauren loves animals and hopes to welcome a golden retriever into her family, but until then, she’s happy with her two little goldfish!
Additionally, Lauren loves to spend her free time outside. She enjoys hiking, practicing yoga, cooking, reading, and attending concerts.
Lauren’s dedication to her work and love for her family makes her a valuable and cherished member of the Signature Smiles team. When you speak with Lauren, you can rest assured knowing she’ll take good care of you!
