Professional History

Dr. Lara Morse is a graduate of Dartmouth College where she was a classical piano performance major.

She completed her general pediatric training at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon, New Hampshire. She then went on to complete her residency in pediatric neurology at Tufts-New England Medical Center/Floating Hospital for Children in Boston, Massachusetts. She additionally completed a pediatric epilepsy fellowship at Tufts-New England Medical Center/Floating Hospital for Children. She then became Director of the Pediatric Developmental Center at Saint Barnabas Medical Center in Livingston, New Jersey until 2014. For the last four years she has been in private practice with Advocare Comprehensive Neurology of New Jersey where she focused on general neurology in the outpatient setting. In addition to medicine, Dr. Morse is an accomplished classical pianist and continues to play the piano and foster the love of the performing arts in children all around her.

Approach to Care
As a pediatric neurologist, I strive to provide comprehensive, compassionate care to all my patients and their families. When I rotated through pediatric neurology as a medical student I was struck with the complexity of the neurologic system and the vast effect that it has on a child's development. I strive to help all children meet their full developmental potential.
