Henny Liwan, MD

I have been passionate about reproductive health for as long as I can remember, going at least as far back as when, as soon as I learned myself, I explained to everyone in my first grade class where babies come from. I was certain I would become an OB/GYN from the first day of medical school, and I consider it a privilege to contribute to some of the most significant aspects of a woman’s life. No other specialty provides the opportunity to do that as much as obstetrics and gynecology. The range of care I can provide as an OB/GYN makes every day exciting to me. I am particularly passionate about high and low risk obstetrics, contraception counseling, and minimally invasive surgery. It is especially rewarding to me to help you understand your reproductive health and come to decisions together about the best options for you. Outside of the office, I enjoy puzzles, playing board and video games, and spending time with my husband and children. I also love to sing, travel, cook and bake.

I have had so many experiences as a child and young adult that led me to realize that I wanted to dedicate my life to educating, empowering and mentoring women to become the best versions of themselves. This passion was born out of admiration for my mother’s strength and ability to uplift and encourage everyone around her. My devotion to the specialty of Obstetrics and Gynecology is solidified daily, as I cherish the unique relationships that I develop with my patients. Being a wife, mother, sister, and friend has made me more aware of the many hats women wear daily; as well as how these various roles can impact our spiritual, physical, and mental health. I thus strive to ensure that I take the time to understand my patient’s needs, provide education and address any concerns they may have. I firmly believe in providing patient-centered care and developing treatment plans based on shared decision making. My aim is to continually create a safe space for women to feel empowered to make well informed decisions that will allow them to achieve optimal health and wellness. I enjoy providing the full scope of OBGYN care which includes low and high-risk obstetric care, preventative medicine, treatment of menstrual disorders and other benign gynecologic conditions. I also have a special interest in minimally invasive surgery and family planning. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family, traveling, dancing, and cooking. I also enjoy event planning and interior decorating.

My main areas of interest include abnormal uterine bleeding, vaginal disorders, obstructive vaginal and uterine anomalies, uterine fibroids, ovarian cysts, general gynecologic surgery and obstetrics. I have been married to my wife Courtney since 2013. We met in East Carolina and have two children – Bella and Emma. As a family, we enjoy hiking, biking and world travel.
