Zenette M. Leao, MD, FACOG
Dr. Zenette Leao is board certified in obstetrics and gynecology,
and a fellow of the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology.
Dr. Leao earned her undergraduate degree from the University of
Virginia. She then excelled at Eastern Virginia Medical School where
she was elected to Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Medical Society. Her
training continued at Carolinas Medical Center in Charlotte, N.C.,
where she completed her internship and residency.
“As a gynecologist I am a teacher, a confidant, a problem
solver, and a healer,” says Dr. Leao. “I love improving
the quality of life for thousands of women through behavioral, medical
and surgical interventions. It is immensely gratifying to cure disease
and to alleviate symptoms for women throughout their pre, peri,
and postmenopausal years.”
Dr. Leao says no question is too embarrassing to ask your gynecologist.
“We’re here to help and we’ve heard it all.”
She advocates that:
| • |
Sex should be enjoyable and mutually fulfilling
throughout your adult years. |
| • |
Your menstrual cycle should never dominate your days. |
| • |
Never ignore a breast lump. One in eight women will develop
breast cancer. |
| • |
Of all the gynecological cancers, cervical cancer has the
highest incidence and mortality worldwide. However, it is
the lowest in this country due to pap smears. Receive them
at the recommended time interval, and always follow up on
an abnormal pap smear. |
Her special interests are:
| • |
Vaginal health and restoration |
| • |
Bio-identical hormone replacement medicine |
| • |
Long-acting reversible contraception |
| • |
Minimally invasive surgery |
| • |
Adolescent medicine |
| • |
Uterine fibroid treatment |
| • |
Cervical dysplasia and abnormal paps |
| • |
Advanced laparoscopy |
Dr. Leao is a native of Hampton Roads and has been serving the community
in private practice since 2004. She is married and the proud
mother of three boys. In her spare time (when not participating
in sports with her children), she enjoys reading.
