Laurel is a connector. She has the ability to make a meaningful connection with a diverse range of people. In fact, she says that the best part of her job is having the chance to work with so many people with different backgrounds and goals. Laurel brings a focused approach to her orthopaedic and pelvic health patients. She endeavours to understand what is most important to her patients to create a treatment plan that will have a big impact.

Laurel is very close with her family. She is the mother of two young kids and they love spending time at the family cottage on Georgian Bay. She has been a lifelong athlete. Starting with competitive soccer and now evolving into recreational participation in countless sports and activities. She is up for just about anything that gets her outside and physically active. Her dream trip is to do a month-long sailing trip with her family. You will have Laurel’s undivided attention…..unless there is a spider in the room, then she will freeze up!
