“I had complications my first pregnancy so I was seeing Laura in addition to a physician at WHA for my pregnancy after that and the difference in care is night and day. Laura’s appointments were at least an hour where she showered me with information, support, and encouragement. I left each appointment feeling like she truly heard me and cared about my well-being. She even checked a potential thyroid issue that had never even been checked by my regular physician! My appointments with WHA were 15 minutes where they would check weight, blood pressure and ask if you have any questions basically.
I would recommend her to anyone wanting a full holistic approach to women’s healthcare. Laura’s warm and wonderful personality will draw you in and the excellent care you receive will keep you coming back. I’m so grateful to Laura for helping me during my pregnancy and after. Even after my delivery, she went out of her way to make sure I was taken care of. You would be hard pressed to find healthcare professionals that truly care about their patients like Laura. Oregon City is extremely lucky to have such a gem serving the community.”

“Laura is one of those care provider that makes you feel better just by being around her. She does it with a true and patient presence, helping offer a safe space for meeting the often very personal needs that we have over the course of womanhood. She does it by offering a holistic approach to health, while also meeting people where they are, with all the right gentle nudges. She does it by always looking to expand her own knowledge base, ever growing her practical skills along with it. So excited to be able to continue seeing her at Vibrant! ”

“Laura Bartko is a unique person and if you get to be cared by her you are really lucky! When I talked about myself, it sincerely felt like my story really mattered. I didn’t feel rushed, I felt understood and it was clear that Laura was taking time and putting her heart and energy into finding a solution that works for me. In our world of rushing through everything, when at Laura’s office time slows down. There you are in the hands of a healer who helps you find way to health. Thank you Laura!”

“Laura was my midwife 11 years ago and coming to see her eleven years later was like picking up where we had left off. She’s the most beautifully vibrant spirit and instantly offers a sense of ease and comfort. I didn’t feel at all rushed in our appointment and felt heard and validated in all of my concerns. I look forward to continuing my healthcare journey with her.”
— Sorrel Caldera
“Laura Bartko is the right woman for any women trying to get the help they so desperately need and don’t get from regular doctors. She listens, has compassion, has advice, and gives you all the tools you will need in order to live a healthier and more happier life.
I came to Laura because she was raved about on Facebook and from what I had gathered was an extremely well liked individual. I went to her basically to get the care I needed for gynecology. My very first appointment we literally talked for a good hour and she really wanted to know who I was as a person and wanted to know what problems I was having. At the time I had bowel problems and literally would not be able to go for days and Laura gave me the vitamins I needed to help with my problem. I have had not issues since taking the necessary vitamins she has prescribed.
Just a couple of days ago I went to her and had a follow up and let her know about my anxiety I’ve had forever and need to help it be manageable because I am started a new job and have high anxiety. She has now given me new anxiety preventatives to help with that and I can tell you right now my anxiety just over the past 3 days have subsided tremendously!!! If you have not seen this woman yet GO!! She is an amazing woman and I am so blessed to have met her. ❤️”
