Doctor Northington always goes above and beyond what doctors are expected to do and an office visit. She has awesome bedside manners and she's very detailed in her examinations and care every time I've seen her.

Dr. Worthington is one of the most compassionate and caring doctors I have ever met. She explained solutions to my problem extensively. She said let's start with the least evasive solutions and go up if needed. She contacted my oncologist immediately to see if he agreed with medication she wanted to prescribe. At 6:30 last night she was texting me to let me know the oncologist had approved the meds.

Dr. Northington was the 7th doctor that I have visited for my condition. 5 doctors were before my surgery for pelvic organ prolapse in 2019. With Covid and losing my insurance, it has been a challenge finding the right doctor who takes Medicare. I do not feel like Dr. Northington is the best doctor for me. I will be visiting my regular gynecologist of 20 years for a consultation, and probably return to Dr. Robert Moore for the additional surgery that I need.
