Brandi Spence, MD
Provider Bio
Dr. Brandi Spence is an OB/GYN physician with Women's Healthcare Associates in Newberg, Oregon.
From the Provider
“Making human connections and learning about people’s lives over time is one of the most rewarding parts of my job. Especially as a small town doctor, many times I have the opportunity to care for multiple generations of the same family. It almost feels like you become part of that family!”
About the Provider
As a teen, the gift of gab, a talent for multitasking and fierce determination drew Dr. Spence toward medicine and, eventually, obstetrics and gynecology. Today, she still thrives on the variety of managing labors, performing surgery and seeing patients in clinic. She loves the educational aspects of women’s healthcare and helping people understand their fertility, birth control or pregnancy. The complications she experienced during the births of her own children and the lack of understanding she felt—despite being in medical school—influence how she works with patients, seeking to provide all the information they need to make decisions. She is passionate about community and adolescent education and enjoys helping people with a wide range of issues, including contraceptive options, abnormal menstrual bleeding, polycystic ovarian syndrome, difficulty conceiving and managing the symptoms of menopause, including hormone replacement. She also provides comprehensive obstetrical care and can help people manage complications during pregnancy, such as gestational diabetes or hypertension.
Born and raised in another small Oregon town, Dallas, Dr. Spence is committed to giving back to the community and currently serves as co-chair of the Yamhill County Board of Health. She and her husband (who is also from Dallas) have two children and they enjoy hiking, caring for their goats and chickens, foraging and rock hounding. Dr. Spence also enjoys knitting and is up for any home renovation or DIY project.

She has been wonderful every time I’ve seen her in her office and when she provided care in emergency surgery and with the birth of my last baby. She is a wonderful healthcare provider. She is also very thorough in all ways.
Dr. Spence puts you at ease right away. She's friendly, shows genuine concern, and answers all questions. She doesn't rush you out, she takes time with you.
Dr Spence is a phenomenal Dr. She has been my ob/gyn for little over 10 years now, and every woman I've come across i have sent to her. She is so caring and understanding. She will help in any and every way she possibly can. She treats like like you're her only patient and gives you all her attention when you're with her. She is a once in a lifetime doctor!
I felt heard, cared for, and never rushed. Dr. Spence spent so much time with me and even brought up things I almost forgot to ask. I felt like she was caring for me as a friend or family member. Best doctor I have ever seen.
