Get to Know Your Specialist

Laura M. Foot, MD, is a urologist at Tanner Clinic. Her practice is located in the basement of the Layton Antelope Building B. Dr. Foot feels right at home in the male-dominated specialty of urology. That’s appropriate since she’s one of only three female urologists in the state.

Urology was her field of choice because this specialty, dealing with all issues of the urinary system, requires problem-solving skills. As a surgeon, she also appreciates its variety. “I’ll do something under the microscope,” she said, “and the next case is a big, open surgery where you’re removing kidney cancer.”

Dr. Foot specializes in enlarged prostates, overactive bladders, and urinary-related cancer, particularly of the prostate. She is also the leading provider of MonaLisa Touch, a minimally invasive and painless laser treatment for vaginal rejuvenation, which can help with the symptoms of vaginal atrophy: pain during intercourse, vaginal discomfort, urinary incontinence, and recurrent UTIs.

Dr. Foot earned a B.S. in chemistry, as well as a M.S. in biological chemistry, from the University of Utah. While there, she was a research fellow in hematology and oncology at the Eccles Institute of Human Genetics. She has also conducted research at the Huntsman Cancer Institute and the Moran Eye Center, resulting in published peer-reviewed scholarly articles.

She earned her M.D. at the U of U School of Medicine, where she stayed for her residency in urologic surgery.

Dr. Foot, a native of Kaysville and resident of Fruit Heights, is married with two children.
