Melissa Pendergrass, MD

I was so happy to find Dr. Pendergrass after years of long waits at my previous women’s center and never getting to see my actual doctor (for more than 4 years). My previous center had wonderful doctors, it was just difficult to see them with scheduling availability and then the long wait times, changes (with an OBGYN schedule shifts clearly come with the job, I do understand).
When I met with Dr. Pendergrass, she was very nice and helpful. I was seen immediately and everyone was so kind. She took the time to learn about my history and was very thoughtful in what I needed going forward!

After receiving less than perfect news from an annual exam with my PCP, and a bad experience with an extremely busy «women’s center», I did my research and read several reviews online trying to find someone who met my standards. My main concerns were: being listened to, full explanations on what was going on with me, knowledge of the clinic staff, and getting a prompt response from the Dr. or nurse when I had additional follow up questions.
Dr. Pendergrass and the clinic staff were spot on with what I expected from a visit and with the follow up. She takes the time to explain everything in depth, and in a way that I could understand. She is friendly and relates her own personal experiences to mine. She is also very through and had reviewed my chart and test results before my first visit and asked a lot of questions about my history. I will be a patient as long as she stays in the area, Dr. Pendergrass is awesome!

After many years of being unheard and made to feel like it was all in my head, I feel so lucky to have found Dr Pendergrass. I went in thinking it was going to be my last attempt to get help for my pain and that this would be like all the other appointments I’ve had. I’m so happy to say that I was wrong. Everyone that I encountered that first day made me feel that my problems were real and they were there to help. I almost didn’t believe it, it was so different. I had some very real problems and ended up having a hysterectomy. Dr Pendergrass explained everything to me, gave me all the information I needed to make my decision, and was so compassionate and kind that I felt instantly comfortable with her. My recovery has been great. She and her team did an amazing job removing a ton of endometriosis and my huge ugly uterus. This is going to be a real life changer for me. I can’t wait to heal completely so I can see how much better I will feel, because after 2.5 weeks, I can already tell a difference. Thank you Dr Pendergrass! !

Dr. Pendergrass is a fantastic doctor! She was compassionate, funny, and extremely knowledgeable. I have struggled with severe endometriosis my whole adult life and Dr. Pendergrass performed a total hysterectomy. I feel like a new person. Everything went exactly as she said it would (including the recovery time almost to the day). I only wish I had started seeing her sooner. I wholeheartedly recommend her. BTW, all of the clinic staff was great and I never had to wait longer than 5 minutes for anyone. I wholeheartedly recommend her!

Dr. Pendergrass has been the best OBGYN I have ever had. I have had issues with heavy periods for years and other drs told me that I wasn’t a candidate for lasproscopic hysterectomy. But Dr. Pendergrass expertise in laproscopic surgeries made my hysterectomy very easy with little down time. She is very warm and compassionate and listens to your concerns. I’m so happy I found her and will let my friends know of this wonderful doctor right in West Linn!

Dr. Pendergrass is a very compassionate and caring physician. She took time to explain everything to my husband and I so we would understand the procedure. With a full understanding of the process, I chose to have a total hysterectomy. It was the best choice. The surgery was textbook and Dr. Pendergrass came to see me before and after. I feel like a new woman! I am bringing my Mom and other family members in to see her! If you’ve been looking for someone that would just «hear» you, Dr. Pendergrass is that doctor!
