Lauren Hughes, MD

"Dr. Hughes lives in Overland Park with her husband, Jordan, young son, Calvin, and new twins, Nolan and Sloane. She also has a rescue dog named Gus. After her breastfeeding experience with her oldest and then one of her twins being diagnosed with a rare genetic disorder, Dr. Hughes understood the value of being able to access her trusted pediatrician quickly. She loves this model of care because it allows her the flexibility to be present with her family. When she’s not working with patients (or working on her clinic!) she and her husband love doing house projects and going on walks as a family. In addition to her family, her patients and their families are what keep her smiling when she gets up and eager to go to work every day. Seeing a new Mom feel confident in her parenting decisions, being able to help a family rest when she sees a sick child on the weekend, and simply being able to put minds at ease with quick answers via text - all of this is so rewarding. The truly personal and unique relationships she develops with her patient’s families make it feel less like treating patients, and more like helping out a friend."

"At Bloom, we believe every child deserves the time it takes to truly know and understand them. We do not follow the philosophy that children should be put into boxes and treated all the same. Your child is one of a kind and their medical care should be, too. We also don’t stop caring for your child just because it’s after 5 pm. Here are just some of the great reasons you should become a member of Bloom Pediatrics and Lactation."
