The Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology has a full program to provide total health care for women.

There are almost 2,500 deliveries at FHMC annually. Our department offers tours of the maternity floors for expectant parents, prepared childbirth classes during the pregnancy, sibling classes and classes for women who have had a previous Cesarean Section and would like to have a vaginal delivery.

Our Division of Maternal-Fetal Medicine has the most up-to-date equipment for the evaluation of mother and fetus. This is especially important in the management of high risk pregnancies, which comprise 25% of our deliveries. This Division is staffed by a full time Board Certified Perinatologist and highly trained nurses. Under the direction of the Perinatologist, the Division provides genetic counseling, amniocentesis, diabetic counseling, as well as maternal-fetal evaluation during the course of pregnancy.

Our Gynecologic Services use the latest techniques and equipment, such as ultrasonography, color Doppler, laser and laparoscopic surgery, in the diagnoses and treatment of female disorders. Other problems managed by our Gynecologic Service include sexually transmitted diseases, abnormal Pap smears, benign tumors and female urinary disorders including urinary incontinence.

The Division of Gynecologic Oncology offers comprehensive and multi-disciplinary care to patients with gynecologic malignancies. The services offered include surgery, chemotherapy and radiation therapy. The Division belongs to the New York Gynecologic Oncology Group and thereby is able to use the most up-to-date treatment and clinical trials available. The very experienced staff together with the Board Certified Director and Assistant Director is uniquely attentive to the special needs and concerns of their patients.

Our Division of Reproductive Endocrinology addresses the problems of infertility as well as menstrual disorders, endometriosis, PMS, menopause, and osteoporosis.
