Lauren Atwood, PA

I was born and raised in Irving, Texas with my parents and younger brother. From an early age, I enjoyed helping people. During the summer, I volunteered at a local hospital and developed a passion for caring for others. I chased that passion and attended Texas A&M University where I earned a bachelor's degree in biology, which would allow me to translate my passion into a career. I completed my education at The University of North Texas Health and Science Center where I earned a master's degree in physician assistant studies.care
Medicine gives me the opportunity to help minimize medical crises but beyond that, I want to help my patients navigate them if they do occur. My philosophy to patient care is very simple, and based on one tenant, listening. Listening is the first step of forming a treatment plan because it allows me to see beyond patients' aliments and really treat the whole person.
I currently live in Fort Worth with my three dogs. In my free time, I enjoy traveling, photograph, gardening, painting, biking and attending concerts and musicals.
