This important process reveals the root of your problem. Highly celebrated for her profound diagnostic skills and laser-focused ability to sift through the overwhelming amount of medical information to capture what applies to each particular case, Dr. Worden relies on her unique training and experience to develop a customized testing and treatment plan, providing every patient with the research and options specifically related to his or her diagnosis. An archive of testimonials reveal that Dr. Worden’s success rate is nothing short of extraordinary.

CONVENTIONAL MEDICINE AND THE MIND-BODY-SPIRIT UNION

As a Naturopathic Medical Doctor, Dr. Worden is in the unique position of being able to examine her patients in the most comprehensive way possible by combining traditional Western approaches (a thorough patient history, physical exam, lab work, imaging, prescription privileges, etc.) with the leading alternative therapies (clinical nutrition, spinal manipulation, botanical medicine, acupuncture, homeopathy, regenerative injection therapies, bioenergetic medical devices etc.); in addition, Dr. Worden is licensed to prescribe both pharmaceuticals and nutraceuticals. A research scientist herself, Dr. Worden is deeply knowledgeable about the science behind healing and gifted with the ability to articulate complex concepts in a clear and accessible way; as a result, she empowers--and repowers--her patients with the knowledge that enables them to make significant contributions to their own healing. Dr. Worden’s philosophy and methodology combine to provide a curative plan that helps patients travel the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual path to overall improved health.

FOCUS ON YOU

Dr. Worden has over a decade of clinical practice in treating a full range of illnesses and conditions and her experiences have brought her to the fundamental concept underlying her approach to wellness: the most important element of any treatment plan is understanding the patient. When you meet Dr. Worden for the first time, you will spend at least 1.5 hours detailing your history, describing your symptoms, and asking the questions whose answers may have long eluded you. Dr. Worden takes the necessary time to listen to her patients, thus she is able to narrow options and explain possible treatments in order to determine which path is the best and most effective one to take. Her process has evolved and been perfected from experience: Dr. Worden has had numerous patients who have seen a plethora of specialists--sometimes over the course of many years--and yet have not found beneficial treatments, so she understands implicitly the significance of each individual case. If you ask for a protocol for a specific disease or condition before your visit, you won’t get one: because every condition is as unique as every person, Dr. Worden approaches each new patient as a singular, original case regardless of any previous diagnosis. As a patient of Dr. Worden’s, you will be fully involved in your own healing. Dr. Worden’s all-inclusive patient care and healing begins and ends by placing the focus of the treatment exactly where it belongs: on you.
