Lauren Brave

Dr. Brave grew up in St. Louis, Missouri and has taken many detours throughout the country since. She met her husband, Scott, during residency with whom she has two wonderful children, a daughter born in 2009 and a son born in 2012. She is excited to have moved to the Boulder area in 2013 to be closer to family and enjoy all the quality of life that mountain living has to offer. Dr. Brave's patients and families value her as an empathetic and attentive doctor but also appreciate her honesty and directness.
Dr. Brave received her undergraduate degree in Biology from M.I.T. and accomplished her medical training at Washington University in St. Louis. She completed her pediatric residency at Lucile Packard Children's Hospital at Stanford University. After residency, Dr. Brave joined the busy urgent care practice at the Palo Alto Medical Foundation, a large multi-specialty clinic. After 7 years of focusing on sick care and acute injuries, Dr. Brave is excited to get back to well-care and preventative medicine about which she is passionate.
