Concord Hospital Expands OB/GYN Services in Laconia with Addition of Female Surgeon

LACONIA, NH – Dr. Michelle L. Ciarlo is providing surgical services at Concord Hospital Obstetrics & Gynecology – Laconia (CH OB/GYN – Laconia), responding directly to community feedback requesting a female surgeon in the Lakes Region.

Previously, surgical services in Laconia were supported by one male surgeon, with additional Concord-based surgeons rotating through the practice. With Dr. Ciarlo’s regular presence in Laconia, patients will now have expanded access to female surgical care closer to home.

“We listened to what the community has requested—a female surgeon,” said Maria J. Rosario, MSW, MBA, practice administrator for Concord Hospital OB/GYN in Concord and Laconia. “This will allow members of the Lakes Region to receive that care in their community. Dr. Ciarlo is a knowledgeable provider who gives the very best care to her patients.”

Dr. Ciarlo will provide both surgical procedures and office-based patient care during her time in Laconia. Her addition does not replace any existing personnel; rather, she will continue practicing in Concord while dedicating part of her schedule to serving the Lakes Region.

In addition to expanding access to a female surgeon, Concord Hospital has successfully introduced robotic-assisted gynecologic surgery in Laconia. Dr. Heidi Hallonquist and Dr. Courtney Jones will continue traveling to Laconia to perform robotic procedures, ensuring patients benefit from advanced minimally invasive surgical options locally.
