Harbin Clinic Women's Center Rome Welcomes Obstetrician and Gynecologist

Harbin Clinic is excited to welcome Dr. Patricia Walters to Harbin Clinic Women’s Center Rome. She brings a wealth of knowledge and experience, and is now seeing patients.

Walters was drawn to obstetrics and gynecology early in her medical career and finds caring for women very fulfilling. She loves the diversity of medical knowledge required in the field of obstetrics and gynecology (OB-GYN). From routine appointments to complex surgical procedures, Walters enjoys using a variety of skills and appreciates that every day looks different in her practice.

“I will never forget the first baby I helped deliver,” said Walters. “It was magical then, and it is still magical every time.”

Walters pointed out that serving as an OB-GYN is much more than helping women deliver children. It is also an opportunity to give women a healthy, informative perspective on womanhood from an early age and throughout life.

“I love helping women understand clear and comprehensive information about their health. Even with younger patients, I enjoy educating them about their bodies and listening to their questions. My goal is to create a safe space for patients that is not intimidating so that they are comfortable throughout the entire experience,” said Walters.

Describing her medical philosophy, Walters said she has two concepts she repeats to herself daily. The first one, “Listen first and act second,” helps her remember that every room holds a different person with unique needs. “Be the kind of doctor I want for my family,” is her second mantra.

“I value talking with patients about life goals and using that information to inform how we approach their healthcare journey. It is a privilege to put together an individualized health plan for my patients,” said Walters.

Walters grew up in Calhoun and went to school in the Rome area. She is excited to return to a place she loves where she has many meaningful connections established. Additionally, she looks forward to joining Harbin Clinic during its integration with Atrium Health Floyd. Harbin Clinic and Atrium Health Floyd announced their strategic combination earlier this year. Being a part of Atrium Health will be a familiar experience for Walters, as she completed her residency at Atrium Health Navicent in Macon, Georgia.

Walters is now seeing patients at Harbin Clinic Women’s Center in Rome. To learn more about Walters and the Women’s Center in Rome, visit www.harbinclinic.com/womenshealth .
