Abstract:

Dr. Constance Battle is an OB-GYN with a practice in North Raleigh. Battle built her own practice and sees 8,000 patients and delivers up to 30 babies a month. Many women seek Battle out because she is one of a few female OB-GYNs. Oftentimes, many women want female caregivers and Battle is happy to take care of them. Battle’s practice and her patients are described.
