5 Best Gynecologists in Seattle (2026)

Independently ranked by our review of ratings, reviews and reputation · How we chose

By Elara Kestrel, Health and Medical Expert · ✓ Data verified July 2026 · 8 min read

An annual exam is a different appointment than a high-risk pregnancy or a diagnosis like endometriosis that needs a surgeon who specializes in it, and the right gynecologist in Seattle depends on which one you're booking. Northwest Women's Healthcare carries 1,806 reviews at 4.9, the biggest patient record of the five gynecologists in Seattle covered here, though ratings across the group stay tight, 4.8 to 5. Pick by what you need done, not just the star count.

Short answer: Northwest Women's Healthcare, a multi-provider OB/GYN practice downtown, leads by volume with 4.9 stars across 1,806 reviews, the largest track record on this list by far. Wendy Lorentz, MD holds a perfect 5.0, and Jessie R. Marrs, MD stands out specifically for minimally invasive endometriosis surgery. Several of these providers practice out of the same Madison Street medical building, so proximity often isn't the deciding factor.

Health information disclaimer: This directory is informational only and not medical advice. Rankings reflect publicly available Google ratings and review volume, not clinical outcomes. Verify any practitioner’s credentials and registration with the relevant medical board before booking.

How we score these

We weigh the live Google rating against how many patients have actually reviewed a provider, since a perfect score from a small sample carries less weight than a strong score across thousands. Confidence blends both into one measure. Recency checks whether people are still leaving reviews now, not only in past years. No provider can pay to change any of these numbers, only to appear as a Featured Partner in placement.

How much does a gynecologist visit cost in Seattle? (2026)

None of the providers on this list publish flat self-pay rates, and cost depends heavily on your insurance plan, whether you’re seeing a concierge practice with a membership fee, and whether a procedure like surgery is involved. In general, a routine annual exam costs less than a consultation for a specific condition, and surgical procedures are quoted separately after a consultation. Confirm your specific coverage before booking.

Serving all of Seattle

Several of these providers practice out of the same Madison Street medical building downtown, with Dr. Marrs based nearby through Swedish. If you’re searching gynecologist near me from Ballard, West Seattle, or the Eastside, downtown remains a straightforward transit or drive from most of the city.

What to ask before you book a gynecologist

  • Does my insurance cover visits here, or is this a concierge or membership model?
  • How quickly can I get an appointment for an urgent concern?
  • Does this practice handle surgery in-house, or would I be referred elsewhere?
  • Will I see the same provider at every visit, or does it rotate among a group?
  • What’s the after-hours contact process if something comes up between appointments?
  • If I’m pregnant, does this practice handle high-risk cases or would I be referred out?

Frequently asked questions

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from public Google data. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner (badge and top placement), but that never changes another business’s score or position.

How did you choose these five?

We compared gynecologists across Seattle and weighed rating, review volume, and how recently people are still reviewing them.

How often is this list updated?

We refresh these rankings periodically. This page reflects data verified in July 2026.

What’s the difference between an OB/GYN and a gynecologist?

An OB/GYN is trained in both obstetrics (pregnancy and delivery) and gynecology, while some providers, like a minimally invasive gynecologic surgeon, focus specifically on gynecologic conditions and surgery rather than delivering babies.

Do I need a referral to see a gynecologist in Seattle?

Most insurance plans allow you to see a gynecologist directly without a referral, but confirm with your specific plan since requirements vary.

The bottom line

Northwest Women’s Healthcare is the safe default, with the deepest review history on this list and a full-scope team covering everything from annual exams to high-risk pregnancy. If you’re dealing specifically with endometriosis or need surgical care, Dr. Jessie Marrs’ focused practice is worth a direct look instead. Confirm your insurance and appointment timing either way.
