Dana M. Neutze, MD, PhD

I have always had an interest in serving others and being involved in my community. As a physician, I have the opportunity to work with families and their loved ones to improve their well being, provide support and be an advocate for them. I approach every patient interaction with the fundamentals of my osteopathic training in mind, and look at how the mind, body, and soul impact ones health. Outside of work, I can frequently be found running around the streets of Chapel Hill and enjoying UNC athletics. My wife and I enjoy traveling, trying new food and spending time with our dog.

I began my career in public health, and it was while conducting research in Somalia that I realized my desire to become a physician and enter the field of obstetrics and gynecology. I saw that women had the ability to affect generational and societal change, and it was my hope to become a physician who could empower women to live healthy lives, raise healthy children and create healthy communities. I believe in providing high-quality, culturally sensitive and individualized care to women of all ages and from all walks of life. I strive to provide compassionate care for the whole person-physically, emotionally and spiritually. My areas of clinical interest include rural womens health and maternity care, abnormal bleeding, cervical dysplasia, obesity, substance and alcohol use in pregnancy, and adolescent gynecology. Outside of work, I enjoy running, going to Disney World, and spending time with my husband and five children.
