Wendy Latshaw, MD

Dr. Latshaw earned her medical degree from Tulane University School of Medicine in 1989, and advanced her education at Baystate Medical Center in 1993. She is board-certified with the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology and affiliated with John Dempsey Hospital/University of Connecticut. Dr. Latshaw devotes many hours to quality improvement initiatives and medical leadership as Chief of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Bristol Hospital. The participation in hospital operations gives her a powerful voice in patient care and a different perspective outside of private practice.

Dr. Latshaw thoroughly enjoys the practice of Obstetrics and Gynecology, which encompasses all aspects of medicine. While the specialty concentrates on women’s health, it also incorporates internal medicine and surgical skills. Dr. Latshaw works with women of all ages and educates them on health and reproductive concerns. Her most rewarding experience is to assist a woman through the infertility process, care for her during the subsequent pregnancy, and be there for the birth of her child. Getting to know her patients over time allows her to help them maintain their autonomy during medical interactions, and guide them toward decisions in their healthcare that will be most comfortable for them.

Away from the practice of medicine, she enjoys reading, traveling with her four children, and being a soccer mom on the weekends.
