She is passionate about helping patients with complex medical histories who are in significant pain and thinks of herself as the "Dr. House" of the head and neck. When she isn't seeing patients, she is working with her foundation, GLOW, which through fitness improves body image and social support in college-aged women who are survivors of sexual violence. Laurel loves to mentor young women, teaches ballet barre classes, performs on trapeze and aerials silks, and serves as the USC Herman Ostrow School of Dentistry Oral Health Correspondent. Her life dream is to become a celebrity TV dentist on the TV show "The Doctors" so she can spread evidence-based oral health information to millions of people.
