Laura Faruque, MD has been practicing OB/Gyn in the Hickory area
for over 18 years. She is originally from Cleveland, OH and
graduated from a combined six year undergrad/medical school
program from Northeastern Ohio Universities College of Medicine.
She served an internship and residency at Summa Health Systems in
Akron, OH.
She is on active staff at Catawba Valley Medical Center and lives in
Hickory with her husband, Dr. Mark Faruque, and her two sons,
Nicholas, a senior at Hickory High School, who will attend UNC-Chapel Hill in the fall, and Tyler, who is a
sophomore at Hickory High School. Their daughter, Rachel, is a sophomore at the University of North
Carolina at Chapel Hill.
Dr. Faruque counts as her hobbies organic vegetable
gardening and being a mom and wife. She notes, "I grew
up in the suburbs of Cleveland, Ohio as one of six kids,
and four of us are physicians. The other three doctors are
all internists, but I loved obstetrics so I went into women's
healthcare."
