With this goal, patient care will never be compromised. Excellence will always be the goal with the delivery of health care to women.
Dr. Ronald W. Clarke, MDMS
Dr. Ronald Clarke is an accomplished gynecologist dedicated to women’s health services. Dr. Clarke earned his medical degree from Meharry Medical College and further completed his residency in obstetrics and gynecology from the University of Cincinnati to enhance his clinical abilities. Dr. Clarke’s experience and knowledge in his medical domain led him to receive certification from the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology. Through an independent practice in Mobile, AL, he provides a non-judgmental, inclusive space for women to ask relevant questions and make empowered choices about their bodies. Dr. Clarke offers a complete spectrum of comprehensive preventative wellness care for women, especially those suffering from vaginal discharge/infection and urinary tract infection (UTI). He believes in creating a collaborative approach to patient care to provide his patients with the best possible experience.
Dr. Clarke is a former world-class Olympian in Track and Field. During his transition from superstar athlete to OBGYN, he periodically gained a significant amount of body weight, going from 180lbs to 220lbs, and was at this point classified as obese. Being astutely aware of the worldwide obesity crisis, he realized that in order to maintain his health and to have longevity, he needed to do something about this. To start his lifestyle change, Dr. Clarke took further medical training, did research, and studied this serious issue of widespread obesity in the country. He implemented himself a low-calorie diet, and a soft exercise regiment, subsequently losing 40lbs over a 3 month period. Upon completing his own weight loss journey, he decided this was something he should share with his patients as they, as well as others, often came to him for weight loss advice. After gaining more knowledge in weight loss and wellness itself, Greater Mobile Physicians Weight Loss was founded in June 2011.
