Her journey into the field of otolaryngology is deeply personal. “My interest in otolaryngology began as a child when my father was born with a cleft palate and deaf in one ear,” she recalls. “Even as a child, I was able to see firsthand how ENT issues can affect people’s day-to-day lives. Because of this, my number one goal is to improve each patient’s quality of life; in my experience, patients most importantly want to feel better.”

Following her medical education, Dr. van de Laar completed her residency in Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery at UTHealth Houston, being recognized as “Resident of the Year” for three consecutive years. She furthered her expertise with a Rhinology and Skull Base Surgery Fellowship at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, Tennessee.

Originally from Canada, Dr. van de Laar has embraced Houston as her home, both personally and professionally. “The people and culture make Houston great,” she says.
