Obstetrics, Gynecology and Women's Wellness Services

THROUGHOUT THE PORTLAND, OREGON METRO AREA

After-hours appointments Sometimes the idea of adding something to your day between the hours of eight and five—even something as important as your health—is too overwhelming to even consider. We’ve got you.

Behavioral & Mental Health Sometimes you don’t know what you need. Maybe things seem overwhelming or unmanageable. Or, maybe you can’t sleep—or you’re sleeping (or eating or drinking) too much. WHA’s behavioral and mental health specialists are here to help.

Genetic Screening & Counseling Whether you’re pregnant now or thinking about it down the road, the personal decision to have genetic screening and/or carrier testing can be overwhelming and emotional. Let our team of genetic counselors help you understand how it all works so you can make the right decision for you.

Gynecology Gynecology can mean different things at different times of your life. From contraception to cancer screening, first periods to I-can't-believe-that-happened and everything in between, the physicians, surgeons, nurse practitioners and certified nurse-midwives at WHA are here to help.

High-risk Obstetrics Every pregnancy is unique and has its own share of worries and nervous anticipation. When complications arise for mother or babe, maternal-fetal medicine specialists of Northwest Perinatal Center are here to provide additional expertise, care and support.

Mammography Did you know that sometimes it’s all right to actually put yourself and your needs first? In fact, in this case, it’s ‘doctor’s orders.’ While breast cancer is a frightening possibility for many women—modern technology has given us a powerful tool for early detection. So put down whatever you’re helping someone else with at the moment and make time for proper screenings.

Nurse-Midwifery WHA’s certified nurse-midwives are women’s health specialists who can help you throughout your life with contraception and family planning, pregnancy and childbirth, gynecology and well-woman care and the transition to menopause. Basically, they’re here for any woman, in every way, at any time.

Obstetrics The team that guides you through your pregnancy is one you’ll remember for a long time (at least once the sleep deprivation wears off). Let us help you find the perfect care partner for each trimester, test and twinge.

Office Surgery Any kind of surgery can be scary, but when it’s something as personal as gynecological surgery, you deserve to know that your care is in the right hands—and the right place. For some procedures and patients, office surgery can be a more comfortable and cost-effective experience than a hospital surgery.

Osteoporosis Screening & Counseling Osteoporosis can be detected and treated using painless, non-invasive bone density screening in our offices.

Out-of-Hospital Birth There are many wonderful ways to bring a baby into this world. For some, a low-intervention, unmedicated birth feels right. Laboring in a familiar setting surrounded by a dedicated, supportive team can make all the difference. Where might one find such an awesome place? We were hoping you’d ask…

Ultrasound While it may seem like the most exciting part of getting an ultrasound is getting to see your baby, the really cool thing is that they give your medical team a safe, powerful way to monitor the health of your pregnancy—or sometimes find answers to reproductive health concerns outside of pregnancy.

Urogynecology A woman’s body is amazing, strong and beautiful. But simple? Not so much. This special subset of gynecology focuses on helping women with pelvic floor problems, such as urinary or fecal incontinence or pelvic organ prolapse.

Vein Ablation Treatment of varicose veins used to involve lengthy and painful surgery. (No thank you, right?) We’re very happy to offer comfortable, in-office treatment of varicose veins that allows most people to quickly return to normal activities.

Women’s Wellness Women’s wellness at WHA basically means everything we do to help you maintain or achieve the health you want—to lead your life, on your terms. We’re happy to share our ideas about what healthy means, but ultimately that's up to you and we’re here to help you achieve it.
