DR. NOEL DUPLANTIER
HANCOCK WOMEN’S CENTER
100 Benigno Ln., Bay St. Louis

Helping her uncle at his veterinarian clinic as a teenager led to Dr. Noel Duplantier becoming a physician, and her intern rotation in obstetrics/ gynecology caused her to fall in love with that specialty.
“I believe taking care of women is my calling. I love the challenge of treating women throughout all phases of their lives,” she says. “Every woman is unique and deserves to live the best life possible.”
Bringing new life into the world is her greatest joy. “Watching a new mother holding her baby for the first time and knowing that I was part of her journey is so rewarding.”
Duplantier’s two sons, who keep her focused on what really matters in life, are her greatest personal success. “Professionally, I have grown my own business into a successful medical practice that supports women in my community.”
Most people probably don’t know that Duplantier is an adventurer who loves a challenge and frequently goes whitewater rafting, hiking, and deep sea fishing. “My most challenging feat yet was climbing Mount Kilimanjaro with five of my closest girlfriends. It was quite a trip.”
