Dr. Carol Naranjo

Carol Naranjo was born in Cambridge, but spent her early years growing up in Springfield, MA. Her family moved back to Natick where she graduated from high school. She returned to western MA for her undergraduate studies at the University of Massachusetts in Amherst, receiving her BS in Zoology in 1982. With an initial desire to pursue a Ph.D. in science she spent several years doing academic research at Harvard and Dana Farber before joining Genzyme Corporation, at that time a fledgling biotech company. While Dr. Naranjo was involved in the early phases of research on the product now known as “Ceredase”, she decided to pursue a medical career.

Dr. Naranjo received her medical degree at the Medical College of Virginia in Richmond and graduated in 1992. She was a member of the Alpha Omega Alpha national medical honor society and received a certificate of excellence from the American Medical Women’s Association. She happily returned home to friends and family for her surgical residency at New England Medical Center in Boston. Dr. Naranjo was thrilled to fulfill a long-held dream of practicing and living on the North Shore when she joined her colleagues at Beverly Surgical Associates in July of 1997. Her main surgical interests include laparoscopic gastrointestinal surgery, laparoscopic hernia repair, colorectal surgery, and breast surgery.
