Not only does she bring her expertise, but Dr. Walters is committed to understanding and empowering her patients. She serves with compassion and empathy, which further enhances the center’s promise to provide comprehensive women’s health care.
Meet Dr. Patricia Walters
Dr. Walters grew up in Calhoun and attended school in Rome. After high school, she graduated from Oglethorpe University and completed medical school at the Medical College of Georgia in Augusta. Dr. Walters is excited to return to Rome, a place she knows and loves.
Early in her medical career, Dr. Walters knew she was interested in caring for women through their various stages of life. From routine checkups to managing high-risk pregnancies and performing complex surgical procedures, Dr. Walters thrives on the diversity of skills her specialty demands daily. She also said her medical philosophy centers around being the kind of doctor she would want for her family.
“I will never forget the first baby I helped deliver,” says Dr. Walters. “It was magical then, and it’s still magical every time.”
Dr. Walters emphasizes that her role, however, goes beyond delivering babies. She provides all women with a healthy, informative perspective on their womanhood, beginning in the early stages of development and continuing throughout their lives.
“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 Dr. Walters.
Outside the Office
In her spare time, she dabbles in beekeeping. Her family now has two colonies of bees in the area, and their hives produced 75 pounds of honey in their first harvest.
“I wouldn’t call myself a beekeeper just yet,” said Dr. Walters. “But it’s a hobby I’m excited to continue to learn more about.”
Dr. Walters 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 Dr. Walters, as she completed her residency at Atrium Health Navicent in Macon, Georgia.
