About Lauren E. Perez, APRN-C, AGPCNP
Lauren Perez began her healthcare career as a Junior Volunteer at LMH Health. She went on to earn both a bachelor’s degree and a master’s degree in nursing from the University of Kansas. Her focus during graduate school was as a primary care nurse practitioner specializing in adult and gerontology care.
“I was hired as a nurse on the 2-East/ICU unit after graduation and worked full time for several years,” she said. “After I finished graduate school in 2014, I began working at the Internal Medicine Group (now LMH Health Primary Care-6th and Folks Road) as a nurse practitioner.”
Working in primary care gave Perez a great foundation, but she knew she’d eventually like to work in cardiology. When a position opened at the LMH Health Heart Center in 2018, she jumped at the chance.
“I enjoy working with heart failure patients,” she said. “They’re complex and I get to know them as I see them back so often. It’s my goal to get my patients feeling their very best.”

Patient Reviews
Very good . On time , listened , had tips for better health concerns I had .
Lauren Perez is a kind and caring provider. She really listens and takes time with her patients
I felt a little rushed.
Lauren and her staff are always superb. They all listen and act like I matter. It's getting pretty rare to find that. The check out and reception folk are just as wonderful. It's not hard to get an appointment in a decent amount of time with them unlike the doctor. I hope Lauren Perez never leaves because I will follow her for sure!
Excellent care
It was just fine.
Have seen her for the last 3-4 years
Listened and provided answers
I will keep it short. It would seem that the nurse practitioner and the cardiologist are not on the same page with regards to evaluating my health. I was not very happy with this at all. Seems like there is no rhyme or reason to that at all.
Excellent!
