Lauren Blade, PA-C

I am a Physician Assistant specializing in plastic and reconstructive surgery, with a clinical focus on breast reconstruction and postoperative care. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Nutritional Sciences from the University of Georgia and went on to complete my Master of Science in Physician Assistant Studies at Rush University, where I discovered my passion for plastic surgery and completed specialized surgical training. In my current role, I assist Dr. Doren in the operating room and manage patients postoperatively in our outpatient clinic, providing continuity of care and support throughout their entire surgical recovery. Outside of work, I enjoy exploring Chicago’s restaurant scene or spending time at the lakefront.
