Lauren Blade, PA-C
I am a Physician Assistant specializing in plastic and reconstructive surgery, with a clinical focus on breast reconstruction and postoperative care. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Nutritional Sciences from the University of Georgia and went on to complete my Master of Science in Physician Assistant Studies at Rush University, where I discovered my passion for plastic surgery and completed specialized surgical training. In my current role, I assist Dr. Doren in the operating room and manage patients postoperatively in our outpatient clinic, providing continuity of care and support throughout their entire surgical recovery. Outside of work, I enjoy exploring Chicago’s restaurant scene or spending time at the lakefront.

Oliwia Ogorzalek
I am a dedicated Registered Nurse with over 10 years of experience providing compassionate, patient-centered care. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Loyola University and have developed a strong clinical background supporting patients throughout their healthcare journey.
In my current role, I assist with tissue expander fills, coordinate surgical scheduling, provide preoperative education, and support patients through postoperative recovery. I also manage ongoing patient communication, ensuring questions are answered and care remains consistent and seamless.
What I value most about my work is the continuity of care—building relationships with patients and guiding them through each step of their experience. Outside of nursing, I enjoy spending time with my husband and our three boys, especially being outdoors together.
