Dr. Louise Rogers always wanted to be a surgeon. But she also wanted to be able to get to know patients in a primary care setting by seeing them year after year. Obstetrics and gynecology provided an opportunity to do both.

"Getting to know my patients over the years and having time to listen to them are very important to me. I believe in maintaining a close relationship with all my patients."

Dr. Rogers is a graduate of Charlotte Country Day School, Duke University, and Georgetown University Medical School. She received her obstetrics and gynecology training at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville.

Dr. Rogers commitment to womens healthcare extends well beyond Mintviews office walls. She has made multiple missionary trips to Africa, Haiti, and Mexico and is sponsoring an OB/GYN doctors specialty training in Africa.

Closer to home, Dr. Rogers is a strong advocate for blood and bone marrow donation. As the niece and sister of blood cancer victims, she encourages all healthy adults to donate blood through the American Red Cross (www.redcross.org), and to register as bone marrow donors through the National Bone Marrow Registry (www.marrow.org). She also recommends organ donation.
