~ A Message From Dr. Worley

I chose to become an OB/GYN because I believe there is no professional medical relationship that is more personal and intimate.  Patients want a doctor who is trustworthy, especially during some of the most vulnerable times in their lives.  The field of women’s healthcare ranges from before puberty to beyond menopause and covers every aspect in between.  From relationships and pregnancy to hormone changes and gynecologic illness, I truly appreciate the privilege of being trusted with a patient’s most special moments, most challenging situations, and most intimate concerns.  My practice style is one of education, empowerment, and guidance. Using these three tools, together I work with patients to make the best decisions to optimize their health throughout their lifetime.  

Further, as a Pediatric and Adolescent Gynecologist, I have the privilege of being one of the first professionals to educate a young woman about her own body, how to keep it safe and healthy, and her comfort as a woman.   An adolescent's first appointment at the gynecologist's office can be intimidating, but it is my goal to help her feel empowered and allow her to feel mastery and ownership of her ability to take charge of her own health needs.  Unless there are symptoms, the first pelvic examination is delayed until age 21.  When needed, the examination is performed in a gentle, collaborative, and respectful manner which will set the stage for a lifetime of gynecologic health and good preventive screening health habits.

I am committed to providing the highest quality, ethical, cost effective, and evidence-based care to my patients.  My practice philosophy is simple -- to treat every woman as my sister, my mother, or my best friend.
