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.

Dr Diepenhorst is not only warm and friendly, she is always knowledgeable about my chart, and she delivers clear and concise clinical information. She also listens to my concerns and health goals and gently redirects and provides options when my choices or behaviors are not aligned with the outcomes I'm seeking. I've been her patient for almost a decade.

Thank you for making me feel like I'm your only patient. You reviewed my chart before you came into the room and talked to me about specifics. You looked me in the eyes and knew all of my background info---you didn't have to review my chart while in the room so no computer--we got to have a conversation with me. You checked in with me and asked me questions about how I was doing and how my medications were working. I so appreciate how personable you make the appointment.
