Kendall Parrott, MD

Before I knew that I wanted to pursue a career in medicine, I had the opportunity to volunteer in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). I saw firsthand the amazing sacrifices women often make to build a family. I knew that I wanted to help women like those I saw, and to make a positive impact on their lives. In medical school, I quickly decided on the OB-GYN specialty; I love the continuity of care it allows me to provide and the ability to support women through all of life's stages. \n While I know I can never fully understand what a patient is going through, I try to put myself in their shoes and start each visit from a place of empathy. Making sure that patients feel heard and supported is one of the most important things I do. Fostering collaborative relationships with patients allows me to understand their unique needs and work with them to develop individual care plans to address issues and improve their overall health. \n I grew up in Maryland but fell in love with Charlotte while completing my residency here. I knew I wanted to stay and was fortunate to find a position that allows me to care for this community I love so much. When I am not working, I enjoy trying new restaurants and taking my dog, Wallace, on walks and hikes to explore the city.
