Get to know Obstetrician-Gynecologist Dr. Eleni Pittenger, who serves patients throughout the State of Michigan.

Dr. Pittenger is a devoted obstetrician-gynecologist serving women in Rochester Hills and Troy, Michigan. She is dedicated to providing the highest quality of women’s health care to patients at Oakland Macomb Obstetrics & Gynecology, PC. She is passionate about not only minimally invasive surgery, but also making women’s health care accessible to all women. She enjoys educating and advocating for her patients, like helping them find the unique contraception option that is right for them.

Oakland Macomb Obstetrics & Gynecology, PC was founded in 1998 by Drs. James McBride and Catherine Stark. Its reputation for kind, compassionate care grew and as patient demand increased, they were able to bring on additional physicians and midwives. The founding doctors have instilled the core belief that compassionate, sensitive care provided in state of the art facilities reflects unyielding respect for the patient. They have partnered with Troy Beaumont for obstetrical care and surgery, which has enabled them to pioneer innovative therapies such as robotic surgery.

Described as “pure Michigan”, Dr. Pittenger grew up in metro Detroit before attending The University of Michigan, where she completed her Bachelor of Science degree in Kinesiology. From there, her educational journey brought her back home to Detroit, where she received her medical degree from the Wayne State University School of Medicine. Following medical school, she completed her residency at Beaumont Hospital Royal Oak in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology. In residency, she was recognized for excellence in minimally invasive gynecologic surgery.

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).

Happily married to her husband, Jason, she loves to try new restaurants, workout, travel, and spend time with friends and family.
