As a native New Orleanian, Dr. Van Hook is a key member of the pediatric pulmonology team at Ochsner for Children.

She completed her general pediatrics residency at Vanderbilt and her pediatric pulmonology fellowship at Texas Children's Hospital in 2006. Her natural leadership provided her the opportunity to serve as division chief at Nemours Children's clinic as well as the cystic fibrosis center director prior to joining Ochsner in 2012.

Ochsner Patient Verified Reviews

To obtain patient ratings and comments, we partner with Press Ganey, an independent patient satisfaction company that works with more than 26,000 healthcare organizations to improve the patient experience. These patient verified ratings are based on the “likelihood to recommend” physician scores on the nationally developed Medical Practice Survey. Actual top box results for this question are translated to a 1-5 scale, and the star scores are measured on that scale, with 5 being the best score.

She is an excellent doctor!

October 2023

While what our kiddo is going through isn't life or death at this point, not getting answers doesn't help. Saying to follow up after we see another specialist is annoying. I feel as if everyone keeps passing us around.

September 2023

Amazing! Listened to us, asked us questions, listened to my child! Showed us helpful information and treatments! Easy to talk to.
