Dr. Lauren Austin was born and raised in the Spring area and attended Klein High School, where she met her husband, Hayden. She attended Texas A&M University and graduated Magna Cum Laude with a dual degree in Biomedical Science and Nutrition. For her dental degree, she attended the University of Texas School of Dentistry at Houston, where she excelled in patient relations and clinical skills.

From day one of dental school, Dr. Austin knew that dentistry was what she was born to do. The technical aspect thrills her because every day brings a new challenge with regards to restoring a patients smile. She loves working with her hands, perfecting the art of smile design and restoration, and also being able to provide relief for patients who are in pain. The people aspect of dentistry is equally as thrilling to her. Dr. Austin loves being around people, talking to them (sometimes too much), hearing about whats going on in their lives, and being a part of the community she grew up in. Being a part of a team who is passionate about those same things is a blessing to her.

In her personal life, Dr. Austin and her husband, Hayden, have three beautiful daughters, Hayley, Katelyn, and Taylor. They often spend their weekends cheering the girls on during soccer games, volunteering with girl scouts, mentoring at a local group foster home (Hearts with Hope), and her favorite grilling some steaks and chilling out on the back patio. Dr. Austin looks forward to getting to know you and your family, too!

For Dr. Lori Rollo, dentistry has always been what she wanted to do. Now, as a practicing dentist in Houston, she is positive she made the right career choice.

By helping her patients create a healthy and beautiful smile, she can also improve their overall health, well-being, and self-esteem.

Outside of dentistry, Dr. Rollo loves to spend time with her husband, Ryan, and son, John. They enjoy spending time with family and friends, trying as many Houston restaurants as they can, and rooting on the Aggies!
