Brandi Vasquez, MD, PhD
Provider Bio
Brandi Vasquez, MD, is a board-certified OB/GYN physician and surgeon at Women's Healthcare Associates in Oregon City, Oregon.
From the Provider
“Our definitions of health and our understanding of what that includes are constantly evolving—that’s the nature of science and medicine. We now know it’s not all about a goal weight or body type, but the things we choose to do every day that make us feel better, more satisfied and happier. My goal is to support my patients in finding health for themselves by discovering and practicing the things that make them feel well.”
About the Provider
Fascinated by science, Dr. Vasquez intended to become a researcher after completing her combination MD/PhD program. Listening to a newborn’s heartbeat during her very first week of medical school, she realized the most satisfying part of science to her was its impact on people, and there was no better way to experience that than through the practice of medicine. Obstetrics and gynecology allowed her to combine her love of surgery with the ability to develop long-term relationships with her patients.
Today, the process of helping women understand what’s happening with their bodies and empowering them to take charge of their overall health brings Dr. Vasquez the most satisfaction. She loves the daily variety of OB/GYN, including all aspects of pregnancy and childbirth; preventative health; sexual health; and helping women address gynecological concerns, such as abnormal bleeding, fibroids and adenomyosis. She still enjoys surgery and is skilled in minimally invasive approaches, including laparoscopic hysterectomy.
Outside of work, Dr. Vasquez enjoys being outdoors, cooking and spending time with family. After finishing her OB/GYN residency, she completed a global health fellowship in Moshi, Tanzania, and continues to be interested in global health and education.

Dr. Vasquez answered all my concerns and questions.
I think Dr. Vasquez is a wonderful, caring, helpful doctor. I have always had a good relationship with her!
I love how much time she spends with me, I never feel rushed. I feel very cared for.
The team at Oregon City as a whole has been amazing. I appreciate specifically how Dr. Vasquez took her time in our visit, she was thorough in going through my personal history and understanding my concerns. She listened to my requests and presented great options for treatment and follow up. She made me feel seen, heard and understood and I never felt rushed by her or her staff.

Excellent provider!!
Dr. Vasquez is so excellent about explaining what is happening, giving you ALL the information, and presenting concerns or points of care in a straightforward manner. She's the best.
She is amazing and I absolutely love her. I understand why it takes so long to get an appointment. I'll never see anyone else
She was very caring and knowledgeable!
Dr. Vasquez was compassionate, understanding, and helpful in the highest degree. She made it clear my peace of mind was as important as physical health and told me I could come in every week or 2 weeks if I needed to see an ultrasound and hear my baby’s heartbeat! I have never been so reassured that my Dr. has interest in keeping me healthy- mind and body!!
Appreciated follow-up phone call
I had such a good experience during my visit. I was a little nervous about going in, but everyone was so friendly and put me at ease. My provider was so helpful and encouraged me to ask questions, she made me feel heard and let me know all my options and it was just overall a great experience.

Dr Vazquez was very kind. She spent time to explain things to me and answer all my questions. The Pap she performed was the least painful one I have ever had.
Dr. Vasquez is incredible. Wonderful support & advice to take good care of myself
Dr. Vasquez seems interested in working as a team. She asked me how I like to take care of my health. I have never been asked that by any other doctor and really appreciated that question and like that she is interested in knowing that about her patients.
Dr. Vasquez is an amazing doctor who is well informed and a wonderful provider.
I really, really appreciated Dr. Vasquez talking the time to listen and answered all my questions and concerns. And I had a LOT of information to talk to her about. She really made me feel comfortable, heard, and understood regarding my body and care. It was a fabulous! Best doctors visit I have had in a long time. She was absolutely wonderful.
Dr. Vasquez is excellent at listening to me and discussing issues without judgement, and takes the time to cover everything. Little details like having the scale in the exam room and not in the hallway, and asking if you would like a weight check in by her assistant is also appreciated and something I hadn't experienced before coming to her. She seems to truly care about her patients and treats them as whole people, looking at how to maintain or improve overall health and wellness. I am very grateful that she was recommended to me when I needed to find another provider a couple of years ago.
Doctor Vasuez is wonderful. I feel so comfortable with her!
I appreciate and trust Dr. Vasquez very much and would recommend her to my friends. The drive from Corvallis is worth the time and effort. I also greatly appreciate Dr. Vasquez looking into the billing questions for me.
Dr. Brandi Vasquez at Oregon City - she is BY FAR the best OBGYN I’ve ever had. She is an asset to your organization, please give her a raise.
Dr. Vasquez is excellent to talk to. Took the time to talk and to listen. I can’t speak highly enough about Dr Vasquez. Doctors like her are rare and pleasant to go see. I was comfortable. And at ease right when she walked in the room and introduced herself.
She is so patient and caring. Im so happy with her.
I always feel heard and cared about
I’ve seen Brandy for 11 years now. For my benefit, I hope she never retires! She isn’t afraid to tell it like it is, and I really appreciate that about her. She does so in a way that is caring. She genuinely cares about her patients. I love that she doesn’t push medicine on me and always looks for the root cause of the issue, not a “band aid” solution. She is one of the great ones. Thank you Brandy for doing what you do and taking care of us. <3
I love Dr. Vasquez. I saw her speak many years ago at a women seminar and became a patient. She is an excellent women's physician.
Dr. Vasquez has impressed me on both visits to her. I've never felt better taken care of by any doctor.
Dr Vasquez listens to me, probably the best provider I’ve ever seen. She’s non judgmental and very informative.
Dr. Vasquez has exceptional patient care. She treats the whole person including mental and emotional care. She never makes me feel rushed, and I feel like my concerns are validated and my questions taken seriously. One of the best medical providers I've ever experienced.
Dr Vasquez is the most amazing provider at WHA. I cannot imagine having to do this without her walking me through every step of the way. She has literally held my hand through the dark and bright times of this pregnancy and prior miscarriages. I am forever grateful for her service!
She was splendid! Very kind and supportive.
Dr Vasquez is always so caring and has the best bedside manner.

Even tho getting appointments can be a bit difficult sometimes, Dr. Vasquez is worth the wait, her kindness, knowledge, and gentle bedside manner make me feel completely at ease and confident that she helps me make the best medical decisions for my body. All the other staff is friendly and helpful as well!

Since this was my first visit with a new provider as a result of Dr. Susanna’s retirement, I was hoping it would go well. It did. Dr. Vasquez took all the time I needed to get to know me and answer additional questions about my concerns. I love WHC.
