Family MedicineLanguages:
EnglishI am a strong proponent of preventive health and patient-centered care. In my practice, I aim to get to know each of my patients personally, establish connections, and partner with them to develop effective treatment plans together. One of my roles as a primary care physician is to collaborate with other members of my patients' care teams to help coordinate care and advocate for them.
After earning my medical degree from Rowan University School of Osteopathic Medicine, I completed my family medicine residency at Overlook Medical Center, where I served as chief resident. I am board-certified by the American Osteopathic Board of Family Physicians and have been in practice since 2021.
I joined St Luke's Primary Care Easton in Bethlehem in February 2025. As a family medicine physician, I have the unique opportunity to care for entire families – ranging from the newest member of your family to the oldest!
Outside work, I enjoy spending time with loved ones and being outdoors – my happy place is the beach/lake! I love trying new recipes and sharing good food with family and friends.

“I deal with depression and anxiety issues.. I had been experience lightheadedness and felt very tired. My PCP was not the office on this day, and I was treated by Dr. Lare of Palmer Family Services. She was indeed caring, listened to me while I was describing my symptoms, and gave the feeling that she truly cared and wanted to help me (something patients do not always receive from doctors). I could not speak highly enough about Dr. Lare, and would rate her 10 gold stars ++”
