Dr. Worden is a board-certified general surgeon who specializes in minimally invasive bariatric and foregut surgery. Dr. Worden grew up in Northern Michigan on an island in Lake Huron. She moved to Ohio to complete her medical school studies at the University of Cincinnati and her surgical residency at TriHealth Cincinnati. She subsequently completed a fellowship in bariatrics at the University of Iowa.
