"My vision is to be the doctor I would want for myself, my family and my closest friends. When I treat patients, I think of how I would want to be treated. I focus on prevention and early diagnosis. I view the body as an integrated and interconnected system. I know that the body has the innate capacity to heal under the right conditions. I believe that food can both heal us and harm us, and that a good diet is the foundation of good health.

I look for the root cause of illness, rather than mask symptoms with medications. I try to minimize prescription medication whenever possible, and use safer alternatives when they exist. However, prescription medications are sometimes warranted, and I will recommend them when I think they are in your best interest.

I believe that a physician-patient relationship is about partnership and collaboration, because you know your body best.

I practice what I preach. I love what I do. Most importantly, I care about you and your health." -Cynthia Worden, DO, IFMCP

 

Kenneth Meigs, DO

Riverside Family Practice

Dr. Meigs is a native of the northwest, having grown up on the Puget Sound. It was in high school where that he met and started dating Cindi, his wife of more than thirty-five years. After getting his undergraduate degree in Bellingham at Western Washington University, they moved to southern California to begin medical school at Western University of the Health Sciences. Residency was back north in Portland, where they had the goal to start a career, home and family. Here they have been able to feel a great pride in the raising of their three healthy young men.

 

Ken has been in practice in the Portland-metro area for more than twenty years as an Osteopathic Family Physician. He was the co-founder of Creekside Family Practice where Dr. Worden initially started her career. They have shared a mutual respect and are looking forward to the chance of working together again.

 

As an osteopath, we are taught that the body and mind are integrated. Ken’s goal is to not focus on a specific problem issue, but to treat the individual as a whole, for a more complete healing process. His additional training in Functional Medicine was a natural expansion to that base of knowledge.

 

As an Osteopathic Family Physician, Ken has been able to enjoy the “family aspect” of taking care of multiple generations, seeing the family dynamics and being able to know patients and their loved ones in a unique and wonderful manner. 

 

When not talking with patients or working on charts, Ken enjoys spending time with his family (which includes the pets), music, movies, hiking, and very often working projects around the house and yard.

What patients are saying.

"Dr. Worden has been my family's primary care doctor for the past 9 years. She has always been warm, caring and professional. At every visit, Dr. Worden will listen completely to my concerns and answer all of my questions. She never rushes through an appointment and is quick to respond to phone calls if I have a question or need urgent medical advice. What I appreciate the most about Dr. Worden is that she takes the time to find the root cause of symptoms or illness and then finds the best way to treat each patient. She knows that every person is unique and will work hard to make sure that every patient she sees gets the best care possible."  -J.Z.
