Dr. Elaine Adsit, MD
Elaine Adsit, M.D., knows all too well the challenges, and joys, of being a mom-to-be.
Not only has Dr. Adsit worked in women’s medicine since 1989 and in Hood River since 2004, she and her husband are the parents of 5-year-old twins-- a boy and a girl. And working with expecting mothers and other patients as part of the Providence Women’s Clinic in Hood River, which she’s done since September, has been the icing on the cake.
“It’s been good working for Providence,” she said happily. “I like having the freedom to simply practice medicine without having to worry about running a business at the same time. I also like the people I work with at Providence. They have really good priorities about taking care of patients.”
Dr. Adsit is fully qualified to do surgery if a C-section or laparascopic procedures are called for. It’s a part of her practice she particularly enjoys. “I like the fact that in my field you can have patients who stay with you for a long time, and yet I still get chances to perform surgery,” she said. “And I enjoy taking care of women who are going to have babies.”
She added, “I can help them through significant medical events in their lives. It’s very fulfilling.”
Dr. Adsit loves biking, skiing and windsurfing, and spending time with her family.
All Women's Clinic staff members are passionate about promoting high quality medical services and empowering women to become partners in their health care. To schedule an appointment, call (541) 387-8940.
