women who rock LangTree!
This is Dr. Claugus’ third year with the practice and, she points out, the unity among the providers and staff is one of her favorite aspects. “We are like a family in a professional atmosphere,” she says. “Within Lakeside Family Physicians, we strive to be on the leading edge of change in the health care world, and I feel extremely blessed. We are also committed to the positive environment that is LangTree … it is a core part of us.” Equally passionate about her role in the world of health care, Dr. Lauren Johnson with REACH is a North Carolina native and earned her undergraduate degree from North Carolina State University; she attended medical school at UNCChapel Hill, and completed her residency training at Duke University. Dr. Johnson and her family, husband Eric and 1-yearold daughter Katherine, moved to Lake Norman just over a year ago and now find themselves happily entrenched in the family-oriented community that defines this area. “I love Lake Norman and my job,” Dr. Johnson says. “I take care of women who are trying to conceive or who have medical conditions that impede their fertility. I have wanted to be a physician as long as I can remember. My mom is definitely my inspiration. She is a physician, as well, and she started medical school when I was a young child. She used to take me to the hospital with her, and she would let me look at the babies in the nursery. As I got older, I was able to appreciate just how much her patients loved her and how fulfilled she felt to be able to help others. I wanted to have that kind of impact. I started college with the intention of going to medical school, and every experience I had confirmed that medicine was the right fit for me.” From women-centered businesses, as well as pop-up shops whose vendors and trucks are almost exclusively owned by women, you can find everything you need at LangTree Lake Norman, including live music on Thursdays, lake events, great dining, shopping, and more … so stroll on down and discover the LangTree lifestyle!
