Get to know Obstetrician-Gynecologist Dr. Erica R. Davenport, who serves patients in White Plains, Maryland.

A top professional in the field of obstetrics and gynecology, Dr. Davenport is in practice at Waldorf Women’s Care/WWC Gynecology and Aesthetics in White Plains, Maryland. She has a special interest in minimally invasive surgery, cosmetic, and fertility-preserving approaches to chronic pelvic pain, endometriosis, and uterine fibroids. 

As an OB/GYN and a minimally invasive surgeon, she provides care that decreases postoperative pain, improves recovery, and is cosmetically pleasing. She is known by her patients for being warm and relatable, and is passionate about decreasing the healthcare disparity in women’s health.

Waldorf Women’s Care/WWC Gynecology and Aesthetics seeks to provide the highest level of care through their highly skilled health care professionals and state-of-the-art technologies. They are devoted to addressing the individual needs and demands of patients in a warm and caring environment. Their goal is to offer patient-centered medical care based on mutual trust and communication.

Born and raised in Pasadena, California, Dr. Davenport received her Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of California, Berkeley with a major in Rhetoric. Prior to going to medical school, she worked for the Kaiser Permanente: Division of Research, conducting research on Gestational Diabetes in Oakland, California.

After conducting research, she returned to her true love of medicine and attended medical school at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, under the Charles R Drew/UCLA Medical Education Program that fosters the development of physician leaders who will advance medical practice and knowledge in underserved areas. She spent her time improving access to healthcare through community health fairs and student-run clinics.

Subsequently, Dr. Davenport trained at the Los Angeles County-USC residency program, where she further developed her love for women’s health while serving some of the most underserved populations in South Los Angeles County. After completing her residency training in obstetrics and gynecology at LAC+USC Medical Center, she moved to Las Vegas, Nevada to pursue more specialized surgical training through the American Association of Gynecologic Laparoscopists Fellowship in Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Surgery.

Recognized as a Fellow of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (FACOG), the doctor is board-certified in obstetrics and gynecology by the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ABOG). The mission of the ABOG is to define specialty standards, certify obstetricians and gynecologists, and facilitate continuous learning to advance knowledge, practice, and professionalism in women’s health.

Obstetrics and gynecology (OB-GYN) is the medical specialty that encompasses the two subspecialties of obstetrics (covering pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period) and gynecology (covering the health of the female reproductive system – vagina, uterus, ovaries, and breasts).

Outside of the operating room, Dr. Davenport enjoys spending time hiking, traveling, and reading a good book. In addition to English, she is proficient in medical/conversational Spanish.
