About
University of Tennessee for the degree, University of Kentucky for residency, University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill for the subspecialty: Audrey Garneau’s training crossed three states before her profile put her in the Charlotte area. She is listed on the CFI team page as a reproductive endocrinologist, the role the clinic describes as covering infertility, fertility preservation and reproductive endocrinology. Her profile states board certification in obstetrics and gynecology and in the reproductive endocrinology and infertility subspecialty.
She is from Quebec, and her language record at CFI lists French alongside English. One caution on that, because it matters if you would rather be treated in French: our research dossier documents her Quebec origin and the language entry, but it does not contain any statement from the clinic that consultations are conducted in French. Ask the appointment desk to confirm that before you book on the strength of it.
Her Charlotte leadership position differs from her colleague’s. CFI names Dr. Tolga Mesen as director of the Charlotte practice; Garneau’s entry carries no director title, and the clinic never states a division of duties between the two beyond that. Both names appear against the same regional team behind CFI’s two Charlotte offices, at 2614 E 7th St, Suite C and 131 Providence Rd, Suite 200, and both offices are monitoring sites: retrieval, embryo culture and transfer take place at the network’s Winston-Salem laboratory.
Clinical Expertise
- Infertility: her stated field of practice, for individuals and couples working through a diagnosis, per the clinic’s description.
- Reproductive endocrinology: listed as one of her three specialty areas, meaning the hormonal and ovulatory side of infertility. Our sources do not name specific diagnoses she focuses on, so bring your labs and ask where you fit.
- Fertility preservation: on her profile, alongside IVF as a treatment key. No banking protocol list, no case numbers and no waiting times are published for her in our dossier.
- IVF: the treatment key on her record, within CFI’s split model - monitoring visits in Charlotte, laboratory work in Winston-Salem.
- Not claimed anywhere in our sources: surgical treatment of fibroids or endometriosis. Her profile does not list a surgery specialty, unlike the record of her Charlotte colleague, so a case that needs an operation is a question to raise at the first visit.
Why Choose Dr. Garneau
Two board certifications. Certification in obstetrics and gynecology plus the reproductive endocrinology and infertility subspecialty is the standard two-step credential for this work, and the clinic records both for her as held. The practical reading: the physician who reviews your cycle labs is the same physician credentialed in general gynecology.
Chief residency at Kentucky. She completed a four-year residency at the University of Kentucky and was elected chief resident in her final year. Chief resident is a role assigned inside a residency program, and it records how that program’s own faculty and trainees rated her work. It is a training-phase distinction, not a clinical grade, and worth keeping in that proportion.
Fellowship at the same UNC-Chapel Hill program as the Charlotte director. Both of CFI’s profiled Charlotte physicians came through the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill subspecialty program. For you that means a second opinion inside one practice is possible without leaving the region.
A Castle Connolly listing. Her CFI biography carries the Top Doctor designation and explains how it is reached: peer nomination, then a vetting process over education, training and clinical excellence, with the directory describing those named as the top 7% of US physicians. It is a line in a commercial physician listing rather than a licensure status, an accreditation or a result measured in cycles, and no year for it appears in our dossier.
Professional Affiliations
Board certification in obstetrics and gynecology and in reproductive endocrinology and infertility is the credential record our dossier holds for Dr. Garneau. No society memberships are listed for her in our sources, so consider ASRM, SREI, SART or ACOG membership unconfirmed until the office says otherwise. The SART membership and AIUM ultrasound accreditation attached to Carolinas Fertility Institute belong to the practice and its offices, not to her personally. Languages on her record: English and French, with the confirmation note in the section above.
Suitable For
- Starting out in Charlotte: your evaluation, scans and first treatment decisions can stay at either Charlotte address, which share one regional team and one phone line.
- Hormonal and ovulatory questions: reproductive endocrinology is her listed specialty, so irregular cycles, ovulation induction decisions and endocrine workups fall inside it. Ask what your specific diagnosis adds.
- Banking eggs or embryos: fertility preservation is named on her profile, whether the reason is family timing or medical treatment. The scope of what she performs is not published.
- A first IVF cycle inside a network practice: monitoring in Charlotte, laboratory work in Winston-Salem. If the travel is the obstacle, say so at the consult rather than after the first scan.
- Patients who want to be seen in French: the language record supports asking; our sources do not support assuming.
Our record for her carries no published price list, no individual outcome figures and no procedural volumes. The CFI figures that do appear in public databases are network-level, reported for a registration whose laboratory work sits in Winston-Salem.
