Get to know Obstetrician-Gynecologist Dr. Todd M. Kopczynski, who serves patients in Matthews, North Carolina.

With more than three decades of experience in the field of obstetrics and gynecology, Dr. Kopczynski (known to his patients as Dr. K) is affiliated with Novant Health Southeast OB/GYN. In addition to delivering babies and performing surgery, he has a special interest in in-office procedures including tubal sterilization, endometrial ablation and other hysteroscopic procedures.

The physicians at Novant Health Southeast OB/GYN have devoted their careers to women's health. They offer comprehensive gynecologic and obstetric services to women from adolescence through adulthood. They are confident patients will feel welcome and cared for in their office. They are proud to be a small enough practice to develop a personal relationship with each patient, while giving them access to world-class resources and facilities.

Becoming a doctor because of his fascination with human biology, Dr. Kopczynski put that love of biology to work after a professional baseball career with the Texas Rangers. He graduated with his medical degree from the University of North Carolina School of Medicine at Chapel Hill, and completed his residency in obstetrics and gynecology at the Carolinas Medical Center.

An expert in his field, the doctor is board-certified in obstetrics and gynecology by the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ABOG). The mission of the ABOG is to define specialty standards, certify obstetricians and gynecologists, and facilitate continuous learning to advance knowledge, practice, and professionalism in women’s health.

Obstetrics and gynecology (OB-GYN) is the medical specialty that encompasses the two subspecialties of obstetrics (covering pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period) and gynecology (covering the health of the female reproductive system – vagina, uterus, ovaries, and breasts).

Among his most notable achievements, Dr. Kopczynski has been the recipient of the Outstanding Attending Award for teaching Residents (2007, 2008), On-Time Doctor Award (2016, 2015, 2014), Patients' Choice Award (2013, 2012, 2011), and Compassionate Doctor Recognition (2015).

Outside of work, Dr. K enjoys spending time with his wife Barbara and their 7 children. They love all the outdoor activities in the mountains & are avid tennis players. Todd’s favorite personal hobby is competing in the Boston Red Sox Fantasy Baseball Camp every January at Jet Blue Park in Florida.
