About Durham Women's Clinic

Durham Women's Clinic is a long established obstetrics and gynecology practice with offices in Durham and at Brier Creek in Raleigh. Its gynecology care runs from adolescence through menopause, and the practice lists menopause care with hormone replacement therapy among its services. Physicians, midwives and a physician assistant all see gynecology patients, and the practice delivers babies and operates at Duke Regional Hospital. It was founded in 1941 by Dr. Eleanor Easley, the first woman to earn a four year medical degree from Duke, and it was the first practice in North Carolina to bring midwives in house. Carlson appears among the providers on the team page but has no photo or bio of her own, so the site says nothing about her own interests or how she approaches hormones.
