I believe that women should be able to voice their concerns in a safe space and know that someone is really listening to them. If women know how their body works and why a recommended treatment is advised, then they can truly be an active participant in their own care.
The human body is fascinating as a whole but I am specifically amazed by the complexities of the reproductive system. Being an OB/GYN allows me to build a long-term relationship with my patients in a field that has the best combination of conservative, multidisciplinary treatments, procedures and surgeries when required.
Dr. Lindsay Veazey is a North Carolina native, growing up in Winston-Salem. Caring for others has been a passion of hers for most her life and she’s wanted to be a doctor since the age of 6. She joined Laurel OB/GYN in 2012 and has been part of the Laurel family ever since.
Dr. Veazey is a double Tarheel, receiving both her BS in Biology and her MD at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill. During college she took as many literature classes as possible to off-set all of the science classes! Following medical school, she completed her OB/GYN residency at MAHEC in Asheville and fell in love with the Blue Ridge Mountains. She graduated residency in 2012 and is a current fellow of ACOG, becoming board certified in OB/GYN in 2014.
Dr. Veazey met her husband in college at UNC-Chapel Hill where they both received undergraduate and postgraduate degrees as Tar Heels. Their two children are being raised in this tradition as Tar Heel faithfuls – including using a Duke Blue Devil camping chair as the time-out chair at home!
Her prior hobbies of reading, watching movies, baking and dancing have transformed into versions that include her children. This generally results in a messy kitchen and dance parties in the den to Disney songs that are fun-filled with lots of laughter and joy. She now listens to as many audio books as possible so she can “read” during her commutes.
