Lauren McDermott is a physician assistant. She joined Inova in 2011 and has been practicing since 2009.
Prior to joining Inova Mount Vernon Hospital, Lauren was a physician assistant in interventional radiology at Inova Alexandria Hospital in Virginia.
Since the age of five, Lauren knew that she wanted to pursue a career in medicine where she could help others. During her clinical year of physician assistant school, she became fascinated with the operating room and knew she wanted to work in surgery. She especially enjoyed the team dynamic and innovative technology.
When treating patients, Lauren feels it is important to listen, provide clear explanations and always keep patients involved in their health care decisions. Her goal is for patients to leave their appointments feeling informed and confident in their treatment plans.
