NewYork-Presbyterian Medical Group Brooklyn – OB/GYN, Midwifery – Park Slope
Midwifery-Led Obstetric Care in Brooklyn
NewYork-Presbyterian Medical Group Brooklyn’s OB/GYN and Midwifery practice in Park Slope offers a model of maternity care centered on patient autonomy and continuity. The practice integrates certified nurse-midwives with obstetrician-gynecologists to deliver pregnancy, labor, and postpartum services that honor individual preferences and physiology. This collaborative approach distinguishes the practice from traditional obstetric models by emphasizing shared decision-making and non-interventionist care when medically appropriate.
The Midwifery Model and Birth Options
Midwifery care prioritizes the normal physiologic processes of pregnancy and birth while maintaining access to medical intervention when needed. Patients receive consistent provider relationships throughout their care, reducing fragmentation common in larger practices. The practice supports vaginal birth, delayed cord clamping, intermittent fetal monitoring, and other evidence-based practices that align with patient values. For those seeking alternatives to routine hospitalization protocols, the practice offers education and support for informed choices within the safety standards of a major health system.
The practice operates within NewYork-Presbyterian’s clinical network, providing access to comprehensive obstetric services and maternal-fetal medicine specialists when needed. Board-certified physicians and credentialed midwives work together to serve the Brooklyn community’s maternity care needs.
