Gynecology

Overview

Gynecologists specialize in women’s health and reproductive issues. These physicians address women’s health care needs in the office as well as the operating room, performing screenings, exams and diagnostic procedures, and providing both surgical and non-surgical care for a wide variety of issues. The gynecologists at The Portland Clinic are all board certified in both obstetrics and gynecology, but have chosen to specialize only in the area of gynecology to enable them to focus on the needs of their patients outside of pregnancy.
