Lauren Allison, MD, FAAP, IBCLC

I am very excited to bring all that I have learned caring for children of all ages in a variety of clinical settings to my practice at Willows Pediatrics. Whether meeting your infant, child or adolescent for a check up or sick visit, my goal is to provide individualized, compassionate care informed by current research and guidelines.  I hope to form long-term partnerships with families as I work with parents to keep their children well from birth through young adulthood.

I grew up in Redding, CT and feel very grateful to be back in this beautiful, family-oriented community. I live in Weston with my husband, Dave, and my daughter, Evelyn. Evelyn was born August 2024 and being her Mom is the greatest privilege of my life. Please note: I am taking time with my newborn until October, then I will be back in the office part-time. I will resume my regular schedule January 2025.

I am available to current and prospective patients via email: laurenallison at willowspediatrics.com.
