Ellen C. Byars
Durham Obstetrics And Gynecology (OB-GYN) South Durham
234 Crooked Creek Pkwy, 
Durham, NC 

Overview

I see women for gynecologic needs in the specialty of menopause, perimenopause and sexual health. I am a Menopause Society Certified Practitioner (MSCP) and an American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors and Therapists (AASECT) Certified Sexuality Counselor. Cancer survivorship is close to my heart, having a background in gynecologic oncology. The effects of cancer and cancer treatment can create distressing gynecological concerns. I can address these issues outside of regular cancer surveillance. I strive to make patients feel comfortable by listening and being present. I enjoy collaborating with patients to determine the best evidence-based treatment for them. I live in Durham with my husband and two children. I enjoy the outdoors, theater, and doting on my rescue dog. I am welcoming to LGBTQ+ patients.

Her clinical expertise encompasses Menopause.
