Dr. April Landry

Posted on by ENT of Georgia North

I began my pediatric otolaryngology career with a two-year fellowship at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital. Following training, I joined Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta, where I worked for nine years at the Egelston location. I am now proud to be part of ENT of Georgia, marking an exciting new chapter in my career.

With a passion for partnering with families, I am dedicated to providing personalized care and ensuring open, clear communication to make each family feel comfortable and informed. Pediatric otolaryngology gives me the unique opportunity to watch children grow and develop, fostering long-term relationships and witnessing the growth of their individual personalities.

In my free time, I enjoy being outside exercising, hiking and playing with my dogs. My husband and I love to explore new places and cuisines through traveling.
