Get to know Obstetrician-Gynecologist Dr. Caroline Maria Skudlarek, who serves patients in Providence, Rhode Island.

An established obstetrician-gynecologist, Dr. Skudlarek is affiliated with Bayside OB-GYN in Providence, Rhode Island. Being trained as an osteopathic physician in the field of obstetrics and gynecology has allowed her to offer her patients the epitome of medical care.

“Osteopathic medicine combines all the science of today’s medical technology and understanding with a hands-on approach taught during osteopathic training” expressed the doctor.

This philosophy has educated her on how to treat patients as a whole. In practice, she listens carefully with patience and compassion in order to effectively diagnose and treat the individual problems unique to each patient. This allows her to offer the most comprehensive medical care.

Back in 1995, Dr. Skudlarek graduated with her Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine degree from the New York College of Osteopathic Medicine. She completed her residency in obstetrics and gynecology at Lutheran Medical Center in 2000.

An authority in her field, the doctor is board-certified in obstetrics and gynecology by the American Osteopathic Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology (AOBOG). The AOBOG is an organization that provides board certification to qualified Doctors of Osteopathic Medicine (D.O.) who specialize in the care of the female reproductive tract and children during the course of pregnancy, childbirth, and the postnatal period (obstetricians) and to qualified Doctors of Osteopathic Medicine who specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the female reproductive tract (gynecologists).

Achieving fellowship status, she is a Fellow of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (FACOG), and a Fellow of the American College of Osteopathic Obstetricians and Gynecologists (FACOOG).

Obstetrics and gynecology (OB-GYN) is the medical specialty that encompasses the two subspecialties of obstetrics (covering pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period) and gynecology (covering the health of the female reproductive system – vagina, uterus, ovaries, and breasts).

On a more personal note, Dr. Skudlarek is fluent in English and German.
