Dr. Laura Schnidman, CTPS


Dr. Lauren Schnidman is passionate about helping patients engage in the activities and sports they love without limitations. She treats a variety of different active patients but specializes in working with tennis players and runners.
Lauren’s expertise is unique and personal, having struggled with sports injuries throughout her life and career.
She believes in a holistic approach to patient care that includes:

1. Addressing a patient as a whole person rather than by symptoms and pain alone
2. Providing individualized, comprehensive care rather than “cookie cutter” treatments
3. Treating the body as one interconnected system instead of as individual parts.
Lauren inspires patients to advocate for their own health and manage their symptoms proactively.

In her free time, Lauren enjoys working out at the gym, playing ping pong, and trying out new sushi restaurants. She is also an avid country music fan and loves attending concerts.
