Bryant Van Leeuwen, MD

Bryant Van Leeuwen, MD is a board-certified urologist with Portneuf Urology. He did not consider a career in medicine until receiving encouragement from his middle school science teacher. After Bryant carefully dissected a shark in class, his teacher said, “I’ve never seen anyone do that. You should be a surgeon.” Despite earning an undergraduate degree in business management with an emphasis in marketing, he still gravitated toward science and medicine. While assisting with the care of his aging grandfather, Bryant came to realize that he wanted to be part of the medical field to help people. After considering other specialties, Bryant ultimately decided on urology for its use of technology, continuous innovation, and mix of major and minor surgeries and diagnoses. He is able to forge lifelong relationships with his patients. Bryant has lived in Utah, New Jersey, Ohio, Nebraska, and spent two years in the Caribbean. He and his family chose Pocatello for its size, proximity to family, …climate, and outdoor opportunities. When he’s not practicing medicine, Bryant loves cooking, fishing, hiking, watersports, playing board and card games, listening to audiobooks, scuba diving, and is a big BYU sports supporter.
