Provider Bio

Lisa Diepenhorst, MD, is a board-certified OB/GYN physician and surgeon at Women's Healthcare Associates in Portland, Oregon.

From the Provider

“I really enjoy the relationships and rapport I have with my patients. It makes a visit to the doctor more fun—for both of us—but more than that, it helps me do my job better. I’m able to tell when something isn’t quite right and people are more willing to open up about what’s going on in their lives that could influence the decisions we make together.”

About the Provider

The combination of science, biology and personal connections is what drew Dr. Diepenhorst to medicine. She loves OB/GYN because of the impact she is able to have in the lives of her patients—helping them find options that best meet their needs, address gynecologic problems that are impacting their lives or support and care for them through pregnancy. In addition to obstetrics, Dr. Diepenhorst enjoys helping teens and women of all ages find the birth control that is best for them, address abnormal bleeding, manage abnormal Pap tests and figure out how to lead the healthiest life they can—particularly through integrating physical activity in ways that are reasonable and approachable. She is also skilled in hysteroscopic surgery.

In her spare time, Dr. Diepenhorst enjoys travel, running, rock climbing and skiing and loves being outdoors with her golden retriever Nelson.

    I cannot express how appreciative I am that they take my symptoms and my pain seriously. When I started having abnormal pain after my IUD insertion, Jessie immediately had me on antibiotics to make sure I would be healthy and not put myself in danger. I appreciate how Dr. Diebenhorst listened to me and tried to find as many treatment options for my menstrual pain as possible.

    I was very impressed with the thoughtfulness used by my doctor in trying to maximize the efficiency of my appointments. She was able to accomplish one of my health goals the day of my first appointment and made sure I would only have to come back one more time rather than several visits for follow up. She showed a lot of care in answering questions I had regarding a new health issue which was initially diagnosed in the ED and made me feel more in control of my health.
