Cape Fear Valley Health is proud to welcome Leah Scarlotta, MD, FACOG, a board-certified OB/GYN, to their team of women’s health specialists. Dr. Scarlotta brings extensive experience in the medical and surgical management of gynecologic conditions, with clinical interests that include abnormal uterine bleeding treatments, pelvic pain therapies, fibroid resolutions and comprehensive family planning options. Her surgical skill set includes minimally invasive procedures via robotic, laparoscopic or vaginal approaches, as well as open abdominal procedures.
Dr. Scarlotta earned both her undergraduate and medical degrees from the University of Pittsburgh. Following her academic training, she joined the U.S. Army, where she completed her residency in Obstetrics and Gynecology at the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. She went on to serve as the Women’s Health Service Line Chief at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri, where she earned the Meritorious Service Medal for improving clinical outcomes for OB/GYN patients. She later continued providing full-scope OB/GYN care at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, until fulfilling her military service this spring.
An advocate for patient-centered care, Dr. Scarlotta shared in a press release:
“I’m committed to delivering high-quality, evidence-based care with a focus on a positive and supportive patient experience. It’s an honor to serve the women of North Carolina, and I’m grateful to Cape Fear Valley Hospital for its dedication to women’s health."
