About Lauren Waters PA-C
Lauren Waters, PA-C earned her Bachelor of Science in Public Health and Psychology from Worcester State University in Worcester, MA. She continued her medical education and obtained her Master of Science in Physician Assistant Studies from Bryant University in Smithfield, RI.
As a Physician Assistant specializing in neurosurgery, Lauren is committed to delivering compassionate, evidence-based care to patients facing some of the most complex and life-changing diagnoses. Her philosophy of care centers on clear communication, patient education, and emotional support — ensuring every patient feels heard, understood, and involved in their treatment journey.
Lauren was drawn to her career through her passion for hands-on clinical work and critical thinking in complex care environments. During her surgical and critical care rotations, she was drawn to neurosurgery because of the field’s complexity, collaborative nature, and the profound impact it can have on patients and families. She finds it deeply rewarding to support individuals through both critical interventions and long-term recovery.
She believes that combining clinical precision with empathy is essential to achieving the best outcomes — especially in a specialty where patients are often navigating high-stakes, life-changing diagnoses.
Outside of work, Lauren is passionate about staying active and giving back. She ran the Boston Marathon in memory of her late uncle, a firefighter who passed away from a glioblastoma, raising funds for the Boston Fire Department Relief Fund. She also enjoys outdoor activities like hiking and spending time near the water, as well as participating in community health initiatives.
A strong believer in lifelong learning and cultural exchange, she has taken part in medical travel programs in Greece and Belize.

I was seen by Lauren Waters, who was very kind and attentive. She listened closely to my concerns, offered thoughtful suggestions, and I agreed with her recommendations. I'm very pleased with the care she provided.
The provider I saw was excellent. However, the staff who checked me in was rude and I did not appreciate her attitude. It was a negative to my experience.
