Dr. Carrie Frederick (formerly Miles) is a board-certified OB/GYN physician and surgeon with Women's Healthcare Associates in Portland, Oregon. Dr. Frederick's primary hospital location is Legacy Good Samaritan Medical Center in Northwest Portland.
“It’s important to me to make sure every person has a warm, supportive and non-judgmental experience with me as a provider. I value being a trusted partner in healthcare decision making: having open, two-way conversations and helping people reach decisions based on the best available medical information and honest discussion of their priorities and goals for their own health. It’s so rewarding to help people consider their options and I feel very lucky to be able to use my expertise in this way.”
Dr. Frederick grew up in Southern California and attended University of California, Santa Barbara, where she received her BA in Sociolegal Studies. After college, she worked for two years as an Emergency Medical Technician before deciding to pursue a career in medicine. She completed a one-year post-baccalaureate pre-medical program at Bryn Mawr College in Pennsylvania, and went on to earn her medical degree and Master’s in Public Health at Oregon Health and Science University. She completed her residency in Obstetrics and Gynecology at Stanford University in 2010, and stayed on at Stanford for a two-year fellowship in Family Planning. During fellowship she focused her research on contraception for women after bariatric surgery, and also received further training in reproductive health law and women’s health policy. She is a contributing author on the textbooks Berek and Novak’s Gynecology, 15th ed. and A Practical Guide to Office Gynecologic Procedures.
Dr. Frederick is committed to providing comprehensive care for all women as they navigate life’s joys and challenges from adolescence to the golden years. She strives to educate and empower women in order to encourage a collaborative physician-patient relationship. Her particular interests include contraception, menopause and lifestyle medicine. Outside of the office, Dr. Frederick is also a devoted advocate for women’s health, working for evidence-based policies at the local and national level.

Dr. Miles is the best!
It was my visit with Dr. Miles. She was great.
Dr. Miles is a truly outstanding physician. I'm a big worrier, and she was so nice about that and answered my questions.
Dr. Miles is the first physician I have worked with that I felt asked me important questions (pronouns, circumcision, being comfortable being touched etc) that I didn’t realize were important until she asked them. I appreciated the concern especially as a queer person in a queer family to know more about me and I felt she heard my concerns.
Dr Miles is very thorough and also very personable. I really enjoy interaction with her
Love all the providers and staff at this office and grateful for the care I receive here.
Dr. Miles is fabulous - she knows my medical history (and that of my family) and is genuinely caring.
