Get To Know PRMA Plastic Surgeon, Dr. Lauren Whipple

Dr. Whipple is originally from upstate New York and was inspired to move to Texas to join PRMA after seeing the state-of-the-art care provided at this practice. She graduated Magna Cum Laude from Siena College in Albany, New York with a bachelor's in biology. She then attended Albany Medical College where she graduated Cum Laude, awarded to the top 5% of the graduating medical school class.
Throughout her residency at Albany Medical Center, Dr. Whipple received numerous prestigious awards. She is the only three time award recipient of the James Edmond Award of Academic Excellence, awarded to the resident that demonstrates the highest level of knowledge, mentorship, and surgical technical ability. During residency, she enjoyed the complexity and technical challenge of microsurgery. She decided to pursue a fellowship at the world-renowned University of Pennsylvania, known for their expertise in microvascular breast reconstruction. Here, she was exposed to various complex cases, including limb salvage, nerve transfers and innovative breast reconstruction procedures.
She is passionate about Women’s health and access to education and care regarding reconstruction after breast cancer. She is excited to join the team at PRMA, who also shares this goal.
Her specialized training led her to PRMA where she joins plastic surgeons Peter Ledoux, Steven Pisano, Chet Nastala, Minas Chrysopoulo, Gary Arishita, Oscar Ochoa, and Andrew Gassman performing the latest microsurgical breast reconstruction techniques and lymphedema surgery.
