Lauren Dicalvo, DO is originally from Plantation, FL. She completed her undergraduate degree at Florida State University and attended medical school at Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine.
Lauren chose CWRU/ MetroHealth because she felt most at home and comfortable on the interview day, whether that was the mom-like feeling of Randa or the environment of open communication Dr. Placeway fosters and how much he cares about the residents and residency program.
She knew she would receive excellent exposure to TBI/SCI and have the opportunity to explore new research opportunities. Finally, the group residents she met on interview day were people she could see myself having fun at work with every day (which has stood true through residency so far).
Her clinical interests include Neuro rehab and sports. Lauren's favorite things about Cleveland: still having access to a body of water and beaches along Lake Erie, Metro Park system, lots of restaurants and breweries to explore, great music scene, Hiking Cuyahoga Valley National Park.

Steven Kim, DO is originally from Las Vegas, NV. He completed undergrad at UNLV and medical school at UNR School of Medicine.

Favorite things about Cleveland: The Land offers a lot of fun things to do outside of work - whether in sports, the arts, metroparks, breweries, etc.. Learning more and more each day, but his current favorite thing has got to be Mitchell's Ice Cream.
