Laura E. Cedó Cintrón, MD, FACOG

Dr. Laura E. Cedo Cintron was born and raised in Puerto Rico where she grew up to be fully bilingual in both English and Spanish. She is very proud of her heritage and keeps both of her last names to honor her father and mother, but you may call her Dr. Cedo.

Since a very young age, Dr. Ced considers herself to be a tree hugger and a lover of nature and in 2004 she completed her Bachelor of Science in Environmental Technology at the Inter American University of Puerto Rico. During that time Dr. Cedo developed a strong interest for medicine and went on to graduate from the Universidad Central del Caribe School of Medicine in 2010, where she realized a strong passion for women's healthcare. She went on to complete her Residency in Obstetrics and Gynecology at the San Juan City Hospital in 2015 where she was recognized by her mentors and peers for her minimally invasive surgical skills. She was asked to stay at this same institution where she served as a clinical instructor in the residency program while she completed her Research Fellowship in Obstetrics and Gynecology in 2016 while also working at a private GYN only practice in San Juan, PR.

Dr. Cedo matched in the highly competitive Fellowship in Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Surgery sponsored by the American Association of Gynecologic Laparoscopists AAGL and relocated to Nashville, TN, to train at Vanderbilt University Medical Center and graduated in 2018. During that time, she developed a strong interest for endometriosis, uterine fibroids, pelvic pain, and fertility preserving surgeries and consequently joined a reproductive endocrinology and infertility REI practice in Jacksonville, FL, where she helped with the workup and management of the patients and as a consultant to the community.

Dr. Cedo feels very fortunate to now have her own practice in her hometown of Mayaguez, PR, which she named "Clinica Ginecoscopica". Ginecoscopica is a term invented by Dr. Cedo with Gineco- pertaining to the female reproductive system and -oscopica from -oscopy which means indicating viewing, observation, or examination, often times with a scope. Dr. Cedo is a strong advocate for individualizing care and seeing each patient as a whole person and not just textbook gynecologic anatomy, physiology, and pathology. Dr. Cedo aims to provide women, with benign pathologies, a chance to live life to its fullest potential.
