About Me

When she was in elementary school, a young Nicole Woodley, MD, would come home and help her father take his medicine because he had a health condition. Helping someone she loved in this fashion was her first exposure to the medical world.

In medical school, she scrubbed to assist in a delivery — and she was sold. Today, you can trust the compassionate obstetrics and gynecology care provided by Dr. Woodley, who practices at Avera Medical Group OB/GYN — Dawley Farm in Sioux Falls, SD.

Expert Care in Obstetrics and Gynecology

Her position allows Dr. Woodley to serve in a variety of roles — from primary care and deliveries to surgery to emergency care.

She cares for women of all ages, whether you’re a young woman getting your first Pap test, or going through menopause later in life.

Some of her specialties include:

“What motivates me is building good relationships with patients,” she said. “We can then talk about things that boost your confidence, as well as discuss hard things.”

Active Lifestyle

Dr. Woodley understands the importance of work-life balance. When she’s not caring for patients, she’s a busy mom and wife.

Her family enjoys traveling, boating, hiking, kayaking and working on their farm. They often find themselves busy rushing to different school, sports or music events. Dr. Woodley is also a coach for figure skating.
