Women’s Medical Center

Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology

The Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology (Ob/Gyn) provides comprehensive obstetrical and gynecological care for women of all ages. Our newly renovated maternity service offers single-bedded, private, family-friendly labor and birthing suites; private mother-baby rooms with rooming-in services; state-of-the-art equipment; and an advanced security system.

The spacious newborn nursery has fully-equipped Neonatal Intensive Care, and Continuing Care Unit; a well-baby nursery; and a dedicated breastfeeding education room. As a Level 3 nursery and member of the Regional Perinatal Center at Bellevue Hospital, we are capable of caring for the most acutely sick or at-risk pregnant women and newborns.

We are the 1st Baby Friendly, USA hospital in Brooklyn. We encourage mother and baby bonding from the first moments of newborn’s birth!

Your primary Ob/Gyn provider will work with you to manage your care and coordinate referrals to other services. The caregivers are board certified/eligible physicians, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, and certified midwives. We are committed to communicating with our patients in their preferred language so we offer free language assistance services.
