KAREEN WORRELL DO
Kareen is an osteopathic physician. Growing up in a family of ten children in suburban Boston, she knew that she wanted to be a "family doc" since the age of eight. Her background training includes an undergraduate degree in biology from Saint Michael's College in Vermont, and a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine from the University of New England in Maine. For over twenty years, she has been committed to helping patients achieve better health. Kareen believes that being healthy is a partnership between the patient and the physician, and is committed to helping guide her patients to a healthier life. Kareen is passionately interested in preventative care, fitness, exercise, and other lifestyle choices that patients make to deal with stresses that contribute to so many illnesses. She is quick to prescribe lifestyle changes and exercise, and is slower to suggest "fix-it pharmaceuticals" which often only treat symptoms, not their underlying causes. Kareen lives in the Seacoast of New Hampshire with her husband of over twenty years, Peter. They are avid cruising sailors and have cruised from Newfoundland and Labrador, through the coast of Maine, the Caribbean, in Ireland and England, and the South Pacific. Kareen is committed to physical fitness, particularly enjoys being with her large extended family, reading, photography, travel, amateur woodworking, and loves old quilts. Kareen sees patients in the office a couple of days per week, and makes house calls when necessary. When not in the office, you'll often find her somewhere on the water!
