🩺 Meet The Physician 🩺
Meet Dr. Ty Dilley, Family Medicine Resident at MRHC. Dr. Ty Dilley may be new to McAlester, but he’s already making a big impact on the patients he serves in our Family Medicine Residency Clinic. As a licensed physician, Dr. Dilley provides *full-spectrum care—from newborns to grandparents—*and is training to serve patients of all ages, through every stage of life.
His passion for medicine started at a young age. “I was a rather ill child and was hospitalized several times,” he shares. “Those experiences shaped me and made me want to help others in the same way.” After years of dedication to his education, he earned his medical license earlier this year and is now proud to begin his career caring for the people of Southeast Oklahoma.
So far, his favorite part of rural medicine? “Everything. Nothing. All of the above,” he laughs. The truth is, Dr. Dilley loves the variety that comes with family medicine and the ability to build lasting relationships with patients. His go-to advice is simple but firm: 💪 “Exercise harder.” He knows that healthy habits are the foundation for a better quality of life.
When he’s not seeing patients, you might catch him around town mowing his lawn, browsing at Lowe’s, or volunteering with the Oklahoma Medical Reserve Corps—an organization that steps in to provide medical care during crises across Oklahoma and surrounding states. He says the best part of living here is easy: “The people I work with are absolutely wonderful.”
Life outside of medicine is full and active. Dr. Dilley is a proud dad of two kids who keep him busy with farm adventures, home projects, and Friday night pizza-and-movie traditions. He doesn’t have pets (yet), though his children may have convinced him to add a fish to the household. He also enjoys traveling, weekend getaways, and admits to being a bit of a house-plant caretaker 🌱.
What might surprise people? Dr. Dilley has been practicing jiu jitsu since 2013 and has even grappled with professional MMA fighters 🥋. If he weren’t a doctor, you might find him scuba diving on a tropical beach somewhere. For now though, he’s happy to be right here—building a life and a career in McAlester.
We’re proud to have Dr. Dilley on our team of physicians at MRHC. His passion for medicine, commitment to his patients, and down-to-earth personality make him a wonderful addition to our community. 💙
