Caroline R. Summers, DO, MS

I am a native of Raleigh, NC. It is an honor and privilege to serve the community that I was born and raised in. I have always had an interest in medicine, but my passion for OB/GYN was piqued when I volunteered as an EMT with Cary Area EMS. The obstetric patients were always my favorite population to care for. My undergraduate and graduate studies in nutrition and health at NC State University further fueled my interest in women’s health through various stages of life. I believe in treating the whole person rather than just their current physical ailment. I care for my patients the way I hope my loved ones are cared for when they seek medical care. I strive to ensure that patients are thoroughly informed of their medical diagnoses and involved in decision making for their treatment. I provide full scope obstetric and gynecologic care. I perform prenatal care and deliveries for a wide breadth of high risk obstetric patients, including those with hypertensive disorders and gestational diabetes. I have a particular interest in how nutrition impacts a woman’s health. I also provide medical and surgical management of various gynecologic conditions, including irregular or heavy periods, ovarian cysts, and fibroids. Outside of work, I enjoy cheering on the NC State Wolfpack, Jazzercise, reading, and spending time with my husband and puppy.
