Rose N. Laignel, do

I chose obstetrics and gynecology because it is a specialty that has long term impact on a whole family. It is important to me that my patients feel confident that I am committed to their individual care and needs. Participating in care for the profound moments of a family's life is very rewarding.

I am a dedicated Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 28 years of experience. I specialize in women's substance use and perinatal mental health disorders. I have a diverse range of evidence-based therapeutic approaches, such as: Cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) Positive and strengths-based psychology I help patients understand that mental health is a journey. I listen to their feelings without judgment, particularly when facing life's challenges. My goal is to give patients the tools and strategies for an intentional, peaceful, and content life. Witnessing lives undergo positive transformations is the most rewarding aspect of my work.

Although I was fortunate to have the opportunity to complete residency and fellowship training in New York City, I was born and raised in New Hampshire and love being back in this area, raising my kids, and having the privilege of taking care of patients in New Hampshire and Vermont. I enjoy working in the field of allergy and immunology because we care for a wide variety of age groups. We can get to know and follow the allergic conditions of entire families, which is very rewarding. Also, this is a particularly exciting time to be working in this field because it is evolving so much. New medications and therapies are emerging that help us improve the quality of care we provide for our patients. Asthma and allergies can be very stressful for everyone. The difficulty in breathing that can come with asthma can be scary for children, and sometimes even more so for their parents. I want my patients to know that I’m here to help them to get their disease under control and to help them stay healthy, so that those stressful moments are fewer and farther between. It’s so rewarding to see patients make progress, whether it’s seeing them outgrow their food allergies so that they can enjoy a food again, or getting their allergies or asthma under control so that they can get back to feeling good and doing what they want to do.
