Gynecology + Women's Health in Portland, Oregon
In addition to your annual check-up, including pap smear and breast exam, Dr. Hamlett’s main interests include hormone balancing, fertility and preconception, adrenal fatigue, anxiety/depression and thyroid disorders. Oftentimes, in today’s fast paced world where self-care takes a back seat to the care of those around us, these issues overlap.
Dr. Hamlett uses salivary and urine testing through specialty labs like Genova, Dutch and Labrix in addition to routine blood-work to obtain a clear picture of your health status. She loves to use herbal medicine and nutrient therapy to restore balance but is also adept at hormone replacement therapy and prescribing pharmaceuticals when indicated.
Midwifery
Dr. Hamlett is also a midwife and delivers babies at the birth center at Canyon Medical Center as well in the client’s home. There is nothing as special as working with a woman on fertility and preconception planning, assisting her during her pregnancy and then delivering her baby. Dr. Hamlett strives to set women up to have the healthiest pregnancy possible by routinely testing markers like vitamin D status, iron storage levels and a full thyroid panel. She also loves working with chiropractors, massage therapists and acupuncturists during pregnancy. When women thrive during their pregnancy, not just survive, they experience a smoother labor and a quicker recovery.
Dr. Hamlett is a co-owner of Canyon Medical Center and is in the office to see patients Monday, Tuesday and Thursday. Other appointment days may be available by request.
