Lara Lembach, MD

Children are open, brutally honest, affectionate, and resilient. Even when they are sick and miserable, they do and say the cutest, funniest things. As a pediatrician, you get to watch children grow up and become contributing members of society. It’s amazing to think you helped play a very small part in that process. Pediatrics is so rewarding that I can’t imagine doing any other type of medicine.

I have a collaborative approach to health care. As a physician, I am the leader of the health care team, but I value input from all members of the team, including parents. I also have two children, so I can relate to a lot of the challenges parents face. Ultimately, we all have a vested interest in providing the best care possible to every child, and we all need to work together to make that happen.
