Lauren Ferrell, M.D.

Professional Background

Dr. Lauren Ferrell is a rural Kansan, born and raised. For her undergraduate degree, she attended Lake Forest College (outside of Chicago) and completed medical school at the University of Kansas School of Medicine-Kansas City before graduating from the Smoky Hill Family Medicine Residency Program in Salina, KS.

Dr. Ferrell's career started in El Dorado, KS, where she replaced her own family doctor when she retired, practicing full-scope family medicine, including outpatient, inpatient, and surgical obstetrical care. The quirks and joys of serving the community that raised her and operating a rural clinic is something she will never take for granted. However, after several years of private practice, she is now honored to join the Wesley Family Medicine team. She is a visual and hands-on learner and that is how she likes to teach.

Outside of work, Dr. Ferrell and her family will make any excuse to get outside. They enjoy time with family, traveling, and playing with their dogs. She also enjoys yoga, running, playing volleyball, reading, and listening to music.
