“Creating beautiful smiles, working with patients of all ages, and being part of a wonderful team all make being an orthodontist so special. Beyond providing excellent care, I strive to create an enjoyable experience, build lasting relationships, and be involved in the surrounding community. Watching my patients grow and seeing what they accomplish in all aspects of their lives throughout treatment (and beyond!) is the most rewarding part of my career.” -Dr. Hagel
Education & Continuing Education
Dr. Lauren’s initial interest in dentistry came from her father, who is a general dentist in Redmond. After completing her undergraduate education in biology at Willamette University, she returned home to the Seattle area to pursue her dental education.
She earned her Doctor of Dental Surgery degree with honors from the University of Washington School of Dentistry. While there, she was a part of the RIDE program, which is a specific educational track dedicated to training dentists to meet the needs of underserved populations.
Following graduation, Dr. Lauren was honored to stay at the University of Washington, where she earned her Master of Science Degree in Dentistry and Certificate in Orthodontics.
