Ashley Abena Appiagyei Cole, MD

I’m a board-certified OB/GYN dedicated to providing compassionate, evidence-based care to women at every stage of life. From adolescence through pregnancy, menopause and beyond, I believe every patient deserves to feel heard, respected and fully informed about her health.

My clinical interests include prenatal care, high-risk pregnancy, contraception, management of uterine fibroids, minimally invasive gynecologic surgery and menopause management, among others. I take a collaborative approach, taking the time to listen and explain options clearly so patients can make confident decisions about their care.

I received my bachelor's degree at Boston University and a master's degree in public health at Emory University. I then trained at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where I earned my medical degree and completed my residency in obstetrics and gynecology. I am a Fellow of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG).

I’m a loyal Tar Heel. My husband, a longtime teacher in the North Carolina school system, and I have two children. Our family’s favorite activities include traveling and celebrating our favorite holidays, especially Christmas and Halloween.
