At Hershey Primary Care, we believe that knowing your doctor is an essential part of your healthcare journey. Today, we’re excited to introduce you to our founder, Dr. Lauren Doliner, and share the story behind why she started our practice.
Dr. Lauren Doliner: A Passion for Personalized Care
Dr. Doliner is a board-certified Internal Medicine physician whose approach to healthcare is rooted in a deep passion for preventative and lifestyle medicine. Her journey in medicine began at Cornell University, where she majored in Biological Statistics and Computational Biology. After earning her medical degree from New Jersey Medical School, Dr. Doliner completed her Internal Medicine residency at George Washington University. Most recently, she has pursued specialized training in Lifestyle Medicine from the American College of Lifestyle Medicine.
Why Hershey Primary Care?
Dr. Doliner’s decision to start Hershey Primary Care stems from her experiences both as a doctor and as a patient in the traditional healthcare system. She explains:
“Throughout my career as a physician, I found myself increasingly frustrated with the constraints of traditional practice. I was forced to rush through appointments, often unable to devote the time each patient truly needed. The pressure to keep visits short due to insurance demands meant I had to ask patients to schedule multiple appointments to address all their concerns adequately. It was disheartening to know that many issues could have been resolved quickly over the phone, but insurance requirements demanded in-person visits.
As a patient myself, I experienced the other side of this broken system. I found myself navigating endless phone trees, spending precious time in crowded waiting rooms, and often unable to see my own doctor for urgent needs because they were always fully booked. These frustrations made me realize that there had to be a better way to practice medicine – one that prioritized the doctor-patient relationship and allowed for comprehensive, personalized care.”
The Hershey Primary Care membership model allows Dr. Doliner to address these issues head-on, offering patients unhurried appointments, direct access to their physician, and a focus on preventative care.
“With Hershey Primary Care, I’ve created a practice where I can dedicate the time and attention each patient deserves,” Dr. Doliner continues. “Here, we don’t just treat symptoms; we work with our patients to address the root causes of health issues and empower them to lead healthier lives. No more rushed visits, no more fragmented care. Just a true partnership in health.”
Beyond the Office: A Community Member
Dr. Doliner’s commitment to health and well-being extends beyond the walls of Hershey Primary Care. As a proud member of the Hershey community, she has served as a citizen advisor on the Derry Township School Board curriculum council from 2022-2024. She also volunteers as a member of the Hershey Elementary Parent Teacher Organization, demonstrating her dedication to education and community involvement.
“Being part of the Hershey community is incredibly important to me,” Dr. Doliner says. “I believe that good health starts at home and in our local community. By being involved in our schools and local organizations, I hope to contribute to creating a healthier environment for all of us.”
