Pediatrician Lindsey Taylor opens Worth Med for more personal care

Dr. Lindsey Taylor is betting that some Dubois County families want a different kind of doctor’s office, one built around time, attention and a tighter relationship with the physician. The Jasper native said she grew frustrated with the pace and volume demands of large health systems, and Worth MD & Co. now presents itself as a medically grounded, boutique-style practice led by Taylor.

Taylor’s public profile says she earned her medical degree from Indiana University School of Medicine and completed pediatric training at Riley Hospital for Children before returning home to practice in Jasper. Directory listings also describe her as trained in both internal medicine and pediatrics, a background that could help the practice reach beyond a traditional children’s-only model.

For local parents, the practical question is not just who the doctor is, but what kind of access the clinic is trying to provide. Worth MD & Co. emphasizes personalized care over throughput, and Taylor’s move reflects a wider shift in medicine toward smaller panels, longer visits and more direct attention. In a county where families often weigh care in Jasper against larger regional systems, that approach could appeal to people who want continuity with one physician rather than a rotating set of providers.

Public business listings place Worth MD & Co. at 512 Third Ave. #101 in Jasper. A separate chamber notice had pointed to a ribbon-cutting for Worth Med Clinic at 504 Third Avenue on Friday, May 1, at 12:30 p.m., but that event was later canceled. The different addresses suggest a downtown footprint that is still taking shape as the practice settles in.

Taylor’s NPI was assigned May 31, 2013, and online listings suggest the business has also had ties to Montgomery and appointment availability in Vincennes. That points to a broader footprint than a single storefront in Jasper, even as the practice keeps Taylor’s local roots front and center.

Worth Med is not presenting itself as a high-volume clinic built to move patients through quickly. It is trying to solve a familiar problem for local families: finding care that feels personal, stays close to home and gives one doctor enough time to know the patient behind the chart.
