Provider Bio
Jennifer Bishop, CNM, is a certified nurse-midwife with Women's Healthcare Associates in Portland, Oregon.
From the Provider
“Healthcare can be overwhelming and confusing. I strive to be an advocate for folks so they have a guide in navigating the system with confidence. Helping people understand their bodies and options then deciding on the path forward that feels most aligned with their identity is one of the things I appreciate most about the practice of nurse-midwifery. From choosing a method of contraception to helping someone come to terms with a difficult diagnosis—my goal is that each individual feels listened to, well-informed and in control of decision making.”

The provider made me feel bad for scheduling an appointment for something that she did not view as a significant concern.
Great staff all around! I've generally had bad experiences with dr appointments, and I did not experience that here at all. Everyone was extremely friendly and very understanding. THANK YOU!

She is wonderful!
Jennifer is awesome, love her so much! I keep asking where she's been all my life as i wish I had met her years ago. She is so patient, makes me feel like I'm the most important patient she has all day. She listens and is objective, asks great questions and gives her recommendations as well. She is clear on what her area of expertise is - which I appreciate! Love love lover her and her team.
When serving a diverse population, it's best to ask patient how to pronounce their name rather going out of your way to avoid saying their name. It's rude and quite obvious.
