Dr. Sara Gerhards is a Eugene native and alumnus of South Eugene High School, University of Oregon and OHSU Medical School. She joined Pacific Women’s Center after her residency, which she completed in Buffalo, New York. She feels fortunate to participate in helping women navigate their health through all stages of their lives.
When she is not working, Dr. Gerhards enjoys spending time with her husband and two daughters, hiking, cycling, cooking, making jewelry and binge-watching Netflix.
Dr. Gerhards advocates strongly for evidence-based health care and assisting women to have the birth experience that they desire. Women have the right and ability to make informed decisions and Dr. Gerhards feels privileged to be on this journey with her patients. Dr. Gerhards is excited about the roll-out of the low-intervention birth model and is excited for her patients who are interested in this option.
