Meet Your Team
Dr. Ariel Haddad, DO
Physician & Practice Owner
I am originally from a small town in northern Maine and will always be a Mainer at heart! I attended Boston University for my undergraduate studies in psychology, returned to Maine for medical school at the University of New England and then hopped back to Massachusetts for residency at Baystate Medical Center. I then moved to Seattle, WA where I practiced for four years and a piece of my heart will always live in the Pacific Northwest.
In 2018 after having our son, my husband Matt and I felt a pull back to the East Coast to be closer to family and we now live in Davidson, NC. I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to have lived and practiced across our diverse country, where my patients have taught me the importance of understanding how cultural beliefs and lived experiences can shape medical decision making.
Outside of medicine and all things menopause, I am a homebody who is happiest spending time with the people I love the most!
