    I decided to become an obstetrician/gynecologist because I loved delivering babies, however, after seeing how treatment of pelvic floor disorders changed women’s lives I decided to specialize in urogynecology. I have been fortunate to be involved in research that has made a real difference in the lives of my patients. As part of my commitment to share the knowledge gained with other doctors, I have published several papers in national medical journals. As president of the American Urogynecologic Society (AUGS) in 2013, I participated in the development of many national programs to improve the lives of women with bladder leakage and vaginal prolapse. My main clinical interest includes performing robotic sacrocolpopexy, a highly successful, minimally invasive treatment for patients with advanced pelvic organ prolapse. I also offer Botox injections for overactive bladder, vaginal prolapse surgeries (with and without mesh) and care for patients with uterine fibroids, mesh complications and vaginal fistulas.

    I am in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology and a sub-specialist in Female Pelvic Medicine and Reconstructive Surgery. I take care of women with pelvic floor disorders. That includes women who suffer from disorders related to childbirth and disorders resulting from aging of the pelvic floor including pelvic organ prolapse, urinary incontinence and bowel leakage. My father was an academic obstetrician and gynecologist and through my life that served as a role model for me. As I got older I became more exposed to others in the field of OBGYN and enjoyed being around them. I was fascinated by the conditions that span from childbirth to the end of a woman's life. I enjoy helping treat conditions that may be embarrassing and not typically discussed at the dinner table. Women tend to defer their own care in favor of their family members while suffering from these conditions of quality of life despite adequate treatment options.

    Every patient has a story to tell. Only by listening can we identify the underlying causes of a patient’s symptoms and manage them. Many women deal with their gynecological issues in silence for fear they won’t be taken seriously. This can lead women to stop doing the things they love, deteriorating their quality of life. I specialized in gynecology to help address the issues many women feel they must bear alone. I ran a solo gynecology practice for 15 years in Upstate NY in two underserved communities. I was moved by the dire need for advanced gynecology care in the area, especially surgical care. To meet their needs, I specialized in minimally invasive gynecologic surgery, including robotics, as well as urogynecology procedures, so patients could receive care for issues like abnormal bleeding, fibroids, ovarian cysts, endometriosis, urinary incontinence, pelvic floor dysfunction, and uterine/vaginal prolapse. Nothing gives me greater satisfaction as a physician than to see my patients be able to enjoy their lives again after successful treatment. In my free time, I enjoy time with family, travel, hiking, trying different cuisines, and appreciating the arts. Dr. Marie is highly rated in 6 conditions, according to our data.

    I became a physician assistant because I wanted to make a meaningful impact on the lives of others. I see and treat women who are experiencing symptoms of pelvic floor disorders, such as involuntary loss of urine or stool, recurrent urinary tract infections, pelvic pain, or vaginal prolapse. These symptoms can often be difficult or embarrassing to speak about, and can often cause a woman to limit her activities. I want all of my patients to know that they are not alone. They have choices, and together we are going to formulate a treatment plan that is going to work best for her and her lifestyle. Their goals become my goals, and I feel very fortunate to have the opportunity to help get them back to doing the things they want to do and living the life they want to live. If I am not at work, then you might find me cozying up with a good book, cooking up a new meal, or venturing out and exploring a beautiful hiking trail.

    I provide gynecologic and specialist care for pelvic floor conditions. Common conditions I treat include: urinary leakage, pelvic organ prolapse, heavy menstrual bleeding, postpartum pelvic floor issues, pelvic fistulas, and fibroids. I provide both conservative treatment plans (physical therapy and medications) and a variety of surgical approaches (vaginal, laparoscopic, and robotic surgery). My clinical expertise is in congenital genitourinary disorders, meaning anatomic abnormalities of the bladder, vagina, and uterus present at birth. These may include a double uterus, absent vagina, or abnormal separations of the vagina. My goal is to foster a warm and inclusive environment to allow women to share concerns about sensitive topics. I aim to help women understand the details of their condition and the possible options for treatment such that they feel empowered to make an informed decision. I encourage patients to share preferred pronouns, past traumas, different abilities, and need for accommodations. It is important for me to respect these. Outside of medicine, I enjoy the outdoors with my family and stay active cycling, running, and doing yoga. My husband and I are foodies and enjoy the Triangle food scene.

    I have been advocating for women and women’s health for more than 25 years. I believe that women should be partners in their care, charting their healthy life course with the aid of a provider they trust. From adolescence to menopause, helping women understand their bodies, navigate their concerns, and work toward health of both mind and body is why I practice medicine. Caring for patients and having them trust me to help them is an amazing privilege, and it has been one of the greatest gifts of my life. Outside of work, I love spending time with my family and friends, being outdoors, and exercising. Dr. Ford is highly rated in 1 condition, according to our data.

    I have been practicing obstetrics and gynecology for more than 20 years in the same practice. For the past few years, I have focused solely on gynecology, which allows me to spend more time with my patients. I enjoy seeing my long-term patients and meeting new patients. I like to get to know them, and the most rewarding part of my job is to be able to help my patients. From simple health advice all the way to medical, procedural, or surgical treatment, I like to make a difference in my patient's life. The most important thing a health care provider can do is to take the time to listen. I am married with two daughters and have a cute Yorkie. I love the beaches here in North Carolina, and I head back home to the mountains when I want some fresh air. I love to exercise and cook simple, healthy food!.

    What is an OB-GYN? 

    An obstetrician-gynecologist (OB-GYN) is a doctor specializing in the reproductive health, pregnancy, and childbirth of individuals assigned female at birth. Obstetricians focus on care during pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum, while gynecologists manage conditions affecting the female reproductive system, like menstrual disorders or infections. Most OB-GYNs are trained in both fields, which allows them to handle a wide range of health needs. Gynecologists who are not also obstetricians do not deliver babies, while OB-GYNs typically provide this service. 

    What are the different types of OB-GYNs?      

    OB-GYNs can specialize in various areas, depending on their training and focus: 

    • General OB-GYNs: Provide comprehensive reproductive health care, including routine exams, contraception, and pregnancy care. 
    • Gynecologic Oncologists: Specialize in diagnosing and treating cancers of the female reproductive system. 

    How often should I visit an OB-GYN? 

    The frequency of visits depends on your health and circumstances

    • Individuals who are not pregnant: Should visit an OB-GYN once a year for preventive care, including pelvic exams and screenings. 
    • Pregnant individuals: Typically have monthly visits during the first 28 weeks of pregnancy, biweekly visits from weeks 28 to 36, and weekly visits from week 36 until delivery. 

    Your doctor might recommend more frequent visits if you have a high-risk condition. 

    What age should an individual start seeing an OB-GYN?     

    People assigned female at birth should schedule their first visit to an OB-GYN between the ages of 13 and 15. This initial visit is often a conversation about health, development, and any questions or concerns. Pap smear screenings for cervical cancer generally begin at age 21, although earlier screenings may be recommended based on individual health needs, such as having a family history of cervical cancer. 

    Can OB-GYNs perform surgeries?    

    Yes, OB-GYNs are trained surgeons capable of performing a wide range of procedures. Common surgeries include cesarean sections (C-sections), hysterectomies, laparoscopic surgeries for conditions like endometriosis, and removal of ovarian cysts. They also perform minimally invasive procedures like dilation and curettage (D&C) or tubal ligation for sterilization. Some OB-GYNs focus heavily on surgical care, depending on their specialization or patient needs. 

    When should I see an OBGYN near Raleigh, NC?

    There are various reasons why you may want to see a specialist, such as: 

    • Your primary care provider recommends it. 
    • Your condition requires expert knowledge and specialized care. 
    • Your symptoms persist or worsen despite treatment. 
    • You need specialized testing or procedures. 
    • You want a second opinion.  

    What should I consider when choosing a OBGYN near Raleigh, NC?

    It’s important to see a provider with expertise in your specific condition. Each provider profile in MediFind’s doctor database includes information on which conditions they treat, years of experience, research contributions, languages spoken, insurance plans accepted, and more.

    MediFind’s rankings are based on a variety of data sources, such as the number of articles a doctor has published in medical journals, participation in clinical trials and industry conferences, as well as the number of patients that provider sees for a given condition. Note that MediFind’s provider database is not based on user reviews, and providers do not pay to be included in the database. 

    What types of insurance are accepted by OBGYNs near Raleigh, NC?

    Most profiles in MediFind’s doctor database include a list of insurance plans accepted by that provider. However, it’s a good idea to contact the provider’s office to make sure they still accept your insurance, then doublecheck by contacting your insurance plan to confirm they’re in network. 

    How can I book an appointment online with a OBGYN in Raleigh?

    MediFind offers direct scheduling for certain providers using the “Request Appointment” button on that provider’s profile. If the schedule option is not available for a provider, tap the red “Show Phone Number” button on their profile to get their contact information. If you prefer to find providers who offer online scheduling, select “Schedules online” under the “Availability” category of the filter feature on the left side of the OBGYN search results page. 

    Why is it important to get a second opinion from a different OBGYN?

    Second opinions are an opportunity to confirm a diagnosis and its root cause, learn about alternative treatment options, or simply gain peace of mind. Many people, especially those with serious diagnoses, get second opinions so they can understand all their options and make informed decisions, so don’t hesitate to get one if you have any doubts or need more information or clarification regarding your care. Note that some insurance plans require second opinions, while others don’t cover second opinions, so be sure to confirm with your insurance provider first.   

    How can I prepare for my appointment with a OBGYN near Raleigh, NC?

    Prepare for your appointment by gathering the following items: 

    • Copies of medical records (dating back at least one year) 
    • Your medical history, including illnesses, medical conditions, surgeries, and other doctors you see 
    • Family history of disease 
    • List of current prescription drugs, over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal remedies or supplements including names and doses 
    • Allergies to medications, food, latex, insects, etc.  
    • List of questions and concerns 
    • Your insurance card 

    You might also contact the provider’s office to see if they offer transportation or childcare services or if you’re allowed to bring a loved one for support or to take notes during your visit. 

    What questions should I ask my OBGYN?

    Here are some sample questions: 

    • Can you explain in simple terms what this condition is and how it’s treated? 
    • What symptoms or side effects should I watch for? 
    • What tests will be involved, and when can I expect results? 
    • Are there other specialists I need to see? 
    • What’s the best way to reach you if I have follow-up questions? 

    How can I learn about the latest clinical trials and research advances my OBGYN may know about?

    MediFind’s Clinical Trials tool asks you a series of questions to help you narrow down your search by health condition, age, gender, location, how far you’re willing to travel, and more. Each question you answer filters down the number of trials until you find the ones that are most relevant to you. 

    MediFind’s Latest Advances tool features summaries of recent articles published in medical journals. We use cutting-edge technology to scour medical publication databases for the latest research advancements on any given condition, then we simplify this information in a way that’s useful and easy to understand. 

    Can I filter my search to show male or female OBGYNs near Raleigh, NC?

    Look for the filter feature on the left side of the OBGYN search results page. Select “Female” or “Male” under the “Gender” category to search for female or male providers exclusively. If the “Any” option is selected, it will pull results for both male and female providers. 

    Can I filter my search to find a OBGYN that offers video calls?

    Look for the filter feature on the left-side of the OBGYN search results page. Select “Offers telehealth visits” under the Availability category to search for providers who offer virtual appointments (video calls).
