Damon Warhus, MD, is a board-certified OB/GYN physician and surgeon at Women's Healthcare Associates in Hillsboro, Oregon.
“I want each person to leave feeling a sense of reassurance and improved wellbeing. Whether that means I’ve simply been able to ease their fears, to help them understand and better manage a chronic condition—or to help them finally solve a problem they’ve been dealing with for a long time—I want each person to feel like our time together has been valuable.”
Although he originally debated becoming a veterinarian, Dr. Warhus chose medical school and, eventually, OB/GYN for the variety and continuity it offered in being able to care for women throughout their lives. He enjoys helping each person understand their unique situation and options and appreciates being able to develop long-term relationships with patients and their families. His particular interests include minimally invasive surgery, including hysteroscopy and laparoscopic hysterectomy to treat or manage conditions such as abnormal bleeding, pelvic pain or endometriosis. He also has expertise in using ultrasound to diagnose and manage gynecological conditions and helps his colleagues do the same by serving as a designated gynecological ultrasound reader for WHA.
In addition to patient care, Dr. Warhus is currently serving as WHA’s president. In this role, he oversees the organization’s strategic planning efforts, helping to improve care and service to patients. He and his wife enjoy traveling to Disneyworld and Hawaii and spending time with their two children.

I’ve been Dr. Warhus' patient for 20 years, and I can’t recommend him highly enough. His expertise, professionalism, and compassionate approach have always made me feel well cared for and confident in my health decisions. He takes the time to listen, explain, and ensure I’m comfortable at every step.
This was my first appointment with Dr. Warhus following the exit of my GYN from this practice & I am very happy to be a patient of his. I have only had (now) 3 GYNs in my lifetime...the first was Dr. Duncan Neilson, whom I was fortunate to be seen by for DECADES of my life & with whom I was very comfortable & confident, & Dr. Warhus reminds me very much of Dr. Neilson. I am happy to have him as my GYN!
He is excellent. He is excellent
Dr Warhus was very kind and helpful and I would highly recommend him.
