Obstetrics

Personalized, Compassionate Obstetrics Care in Port Angeles

We provide personalized, compassionate obstetrics (OB) care focused on building a long-lasting relationship before, during, and after pregnancy. We treat the whole person, so we not only support your physical health, but your mental and emotional well-being too. If you become ill with a non-pregnancy-related condition during your pregnancy, your North Olympic Healthcare Network family doctor and care team will care for you.

With You for the Journey

We are trained in gentle and natural approaches for women who want to avoid medications during labor. We are also comfortable with offering interventions, such as epidurals, to women who desire it during labor.

We work together with you to decide how you want your labor and delivery experience to be prior to your big day. If you want your family to participate in your pregnancy, we invite them to attend prenatal visits.

Your doctor, nurse, and support staff are available around the clock if you have any questions or concerns about your condition or care. We provide an after-hours nurse line and an on-call OB physician for urgent issues that may come up in the evenings or on the weekends.

High-Risk Pregnancy Care

We are experienced in managing all levels of pregnancy care, including high-risk obstetrics. Should a complication arise, your doctor is able to treat you without referring you to another provider in most cases.

Special conditions we can treat include:

  • C-Sections: repeat and unplanned or urgent
  • Diabetes: existing or arising in pregnancy
  • Substance abuse: including opioid dependence
  • Behavioral health: counseling during pregnancy and/or postpartum
  • Many other co-existing medical conditions
