Brooke A Chidgey, MD

I have always been interested in maximizing health and after 30 years in practice I still find it rewarding to work with patients to improve their health. I like to think I work with the patient as part of a team to improve their health and manage any chronic medical conditions. The patient is the team captain and I am the coach. Outside of the office, I love to garden.

I chose to become a doctor because I love caring for individuals and helping them maximize their life and health. The physician-patient relationship is especially unique and I wanted to be a source of support, motivation and healing for others. My goal is to help all patients maximize their quality of life and live life to their fullest. I strive to focus on the person and understand the various issues that affect ones health. Everyone comes from different backgrounds and my hope is to understand the individual and how we, as a team, can navigate to improve their health. Outside of the office, I love to bake, exercise and spend time with my family.

I began my career in public health, and it was while conducting research in Somalia that I realized my desire to become a physician and enter the field of obstetrics and gynecology. I saw that women had the ability to affect generational and societal change, and it was my hope to become a physician who could empower women to live healthy lives, raise healthy children and create healthy communities. I believe in providing high-quality, culturally sensitive and individualized care to women of all ages and from all walks of life. I strive to provide compassionate care for the whole person-physically, emotionally and spiritually. My areas of clinical interest include rural womens health and maternity care, abnormal bleeding, cervical dysplasia, obesity, substance and alcohol use in pregnancy, and adolescent gynecology. Outside of work, I enjoy running, going to Disney World, and spending time with my husband and five children.
