Wendy Vandemark, MD

Dr. Wendy Vandemark is a board-certified psychiatrist with extensive experience treating a wide range of mental health conditions, with a particular focus on mood and anxiety disorders. She is known for her compassionate, judgment-free approach and her ability to connect with patients by truly listening. Dr. Vandemark is passionate about helping individuals realize that effective treatment options exist, and that most people struggling with depression and anxiety can and do get better.

Her practice philosophy centers on creating a relaxed, supportive environment where patients feel heard and understood.

With a strong interest in problem-solving and a genuine dedication to her patients, she considers it a privilege to walk alongside individuals and families on their journey to better mental health.

Dr. Vandemark’s path to medicine began early. After learning about an accelerated medical school program while in high school, she pursued her passion for healthcare and met her husband, Dr. Shawn Vandemark, a plastic surgeon at SGMC Health, along the way. Psychiatry was a natural fit for her thoughtful and reflective nature, and she continues to find the field deeply rewarding. Some of her most meaningful experiences have come from seeing patients thrive over time and even having the opportunity to care for multiple members of the same family.

She chose to join SGMC Health because of its commitment to integrated care. She values being part of a collaborative team where psychiatrists work closely with primary care physicians and specialists to deliver comprehensive, patient-centered treatment.

Outside of work, Dr. Vandemark enjoys cooking, practicing yoga, and cheering on her daughter at swim meets. She is a proud mother of three.
