Lauren F. Sontag, MD

About Lauren

I grew up in Flagstaff, Arizona where my mom was a nurse for one of the beloved local family doctors. I attended medical school at the Mayo Clinic and did a Masters in Public Health at the University of Minnesota, meeting a Minnesotan ski instructor around that time which brought us to the Western Slope. Prior to joining Roaring Fork Family Practice in 2014, I completed a family medicine residency at St. Mary’s in Grand Junction. It is my privilege to work in primary care, developing relationships with patients, participating in happy moments as well as challenging or sad ones, and being the provider whose job it is to care for the whole person. Though we all practice a broad scope of family medicine, I particularly enjoy caring for babies and children, young women, and individuals with terminal illnesses, and am also trained to manage Suboxone. I’m a big fan of time outdoors, home fermentation projects, and being with our kiddos.
